PEPFAR's annual planning process is done either at the country (COP) or regional level (ROP).
PEPFAR's programs are implemented through implementing partners who apply for funding based on PEPFAR's published Requests for Applications.
Since 2010, PEPFAR COPs have grouped implementing partners according to an organizational type. We have retroactively applied these classifications to earlier years in the database as well.
Also called "Strategic Areas", these are general areas of HIV programming. Each program area has several corresponding budget codes.
Specific areas of HIV programming. Budget Codes are the lowest level of spending data available.
Expenditure Program Areas track general areas of PEPFAR expenditure.
Expenditure Sub-Program Areas track more specific PEPFAR expenditures.
Object classes provide highly specific ways that implementing partners are spending PEPFAR funds on programming.
Cross-cutting attributions are areas of PEPFAR programming that contribute across several program areas. They contain limited indicative information related to aspects such as human resources, health infrastructure, or key populations programming. However, they represent only a small proportion of the total funds that PEPFAR allocates through the COP process. Additionally, they have changed significantly over the years. As such, analysis and interpretation of these data should be approached carefully. Learn more
Beneficiary Expenditure data identify how PEPFAR programming is targeted at reaching different populations.
Sub-Beneficiary Expenditure data highlight more specific populations targeted for HIV prevention and treatment interventions.
PEPFAR sets targets using the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) System - documentation for which can be found on PEPFAR's website at https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. As with most data on this website, the targets here have been extracted from the COP documents. Targets are for the fiscal year following each COP year, such that selecting 2016 will access targets for FY2017. This feature is currently experimental and should be used for exploratory purposes only at present.

In 2012 APHL will continue to support Nigeria in building national capacity for a sustainable public health laboratory system through; improved laboratory infrastructure; strengthening of the tiered referral system; development of human resources; and implementation of the framework for a laboratory accreditation process.
APHL will provide a senior laboratory advisor who will provide expert technical assistance to the Nigeria laboratory programs to improve quality and access to laboratory services in the country. The senior laboratory advisor will support activities on an as-needed basis and will specifically support the following activities: 1) Development and drafting of National Medical Laboratory Strategic Plan. APHL will support the core-group in drafting the documents and will provide the expertise and forum for a stakeholders meeting to formalize the documents; 2) Finalization of the HIV Rapid Test Kit Phase II Evaluation report and roll-out of new algorithm; 3) Strengthening of the Nigeria Central Public Health Laboratory; and 4) Strengthening Laboratory Management Towards Accreditation (SLMTA) activities through funds for workshops and mentoring (technical assistance)
APHL will support a twinning initiative between Nigeria Central Public Health Laboratory (NCPHL) and Connecticut State Public Health Laboratory in the U.S. This initiative will provide the technical expertise to strengthen the role of NCPHL in the system and ability to provide quality services and is also an opportunity for sharing of best practices. Support the reference labs in country for proper set up and Support the implementation of LIS. Activities will include procurement of supplies to support them

APHL will provide technical assistance to strengthen laboratory testing in Nigeria. This will include: supporting the Nigeria Central Public Health Reference Laboratory and strengthen it's role in the system and ability to provide quality services ('twinning' activity with Connecticut State Public Health Laboratory in the U.S.); and support for the SLMTA program in providing technical assistance and funding for workshops as needed. This budget will also fund the procurement of equipment and supplies to support the above-named activities. APHL will support the training of NQAT for test kits evaluations, Support the reference labs in country for proper set up and implementation of tiered system. Support the implementation of LIS.
