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: 2008 2009
In FY 2008, with funding through CDC-WHO central mechanism, WHO in Rwanda will continue supporting
the national TB/HIV program in training, monitoring, supervision, and add on MDR and X-DR TB
surveillance. Specifically, WHO will recruit another national project officer (NPO) to: oversee MDR and X-
DR related activities, work with facilities to find all TB patients who failed first line and second line therapies,
and ensure that MDR cases adhere to their treatment regimens. The NPO will work with the National
Reference Laboratory for identification and diagnosis of second-line drug resistance among MDR patients
who fail treatment or die during treatment. WHO will continue to train hospital staff including administrative
directors on TB infection control and support them to draft and implement plans based on available funds
from EP implementing partners and global fund support at the site level. WHO will expand physician training
on TB diagnostics including chest radiography and atypical presentation of pulmonary disease in PLHI. As
a result, 100 more MDs will be trained. In addition, WHO with EP support will train 30 MDs and hospital
directors from GFATM zones in addition to those from EP zones. WHO will continue to facilitate monthly
supervision of TB/HIV activities in districts by leading the team of supervisors located at PNILT, TRAC, FHI,
AIDSRelief and CDC. This supervision will consist of reviewing data and providing sites with feedback on
achievements and needed changes. Under the leadership of WHO, the team will organize periodic cross-
learning visits with implementing partners and site staff to sites where best practices are exhibited for
TB/HIV collaboration activities. In addition, WHO will facilitate a national discussion on the use of Isoniazid
in preventing TB among PLHIV (including children) based on current available data. In collaboration with
CDC direct TB/HIV program activities, two meetings will be organized for district hospital to present their
infection control plans. The plans will be reviewed by experts and lessons learned in implementing infection
control at district hospital will be shared. In order to better control nosocomial infections based on lessons
learned from TB infection control, WHO will draft a general infection control plan to be implemented at Kigali
national teaching hospital. Experiences from that facility will serve to draft national guidelines on infection
control in Rwanda. This activity complements support from UTAP for TB/HIV integration in Rwanda and will
reduce mortality among PLHIV.
The technical assistance provided by CDC in collaboration with WHO/OGAC and Columbia UTAP will
enhance the quality of national TB/HIV program
