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
Support for laboratory activities in Rwanda includes providing technical assistance to the Kigali Health
Institute (KHI) to strengthen the infrastructure of the pre-service training programs for laboratory technicians
by supporting curriculum development and professional enhancement of current instructors. In addition to
strengthening the development of new technicians entering the field, current technicians and laboratories in
Rwanda will be strengthened by supporting the National Reference Laboratory (NRL) to develop a
comprehensive program for laboratory monitoring (chemistry, hematology and CD4 testing) of HIV/AIDS
patients and in the diagnosis of opportunistic infections associated with HIV/AIDS. The detection of
tuberculosis and malaria in Rwanda is a critical service for the HIV/AIDS population in Rwanda. The ability
of laboratories in Rwanda to detect other parasitic and bacterial infections is not available in the majority of
labs within the country. In FY 08, the American Society for Clinical Pathology will continue to support
Rwanda by working with the National Reference Laboratory for accreditation, assisting with improvements
in Quality Systems and patient monitoring, and in the operational management of the tiered laboratory
network. A total of $200,000 will be available to support these programs by ASCP. To develop
infrastructure to support opportunistic infection detection, the American Society for Microbiology will have
$100,000 to develop a program to develop training and laboratory implementation of methods for the
detection of bacterial and parasitic infectious diseases.
