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.
Years of mechanism: 2013 2014 2015
The broad goal of the this project is to develop an African Center for Laboratory Equipment Maintenance (ACLEM) that will enable African countries to train technicians locally (within Africa) on the maintenance, certification, and repair of biosafety cabinets and other key laboratory equipment; enable laboratories to safely handle dangerous pathological agents; enhance laboratory abilities to prevent the accidental release of biological materials, by improving biological safety and security programs; strengthen personnel and environmental safety precautions as laboratories work to detect, diagnose, and report both natural and/or intentional disease occurrence and ensure the sustainability of the medical and laboratory equipment mainly through workforce development by training.
The project target will focus on training at least 45 individuals at the end of 2015 through a six month short course trainings. Two project managers and two admin assistants are to be hired to oversee the activities. An equipment survey will be condcuted and a curriculum will be developed based on the findings.
Two instructors will be recruited from University of Nigeria Enugu and Institute of Management and Technology Nigeria to work within the project. Four mentors will also provide mentoring program for the trainees.
Opportunities will be provided for stakeholders to meet on regular basis and a 7 member executive committee will be constituted with assigned roles and responsibilities. At the end of the project year, the project will be transitioned to government through close partnership with Federal/State Ministries of Health and private. There will be a monitoring and evaluation system for adequate quality data collection.
Under FY2012, CDC will support the African Center for Laboratory Equipment through the following activities which include setting up of office at Enugu, hiring of two managers, and two admin assistants (location Abuja and Enugu), conduct equipment survey, train two instructors and a curriculum will be developed based on the findings for 487,342, plus 350,000 additional funding grated by OGAC for treatment.
