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.
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
1. Elaboration of activities:
The use of laboratory data to support the care and treatment of patients with HIV/AIDS is the backbone of
any clinical program. The lack of a data management system to compile data for the management of day -
to-day laboratory activities and for the management of patient care is the major cause of the problems faced
by the Laboratory Network in Rwanda. Laboratory registers are used to collect data in the laboratories and
any analysis of the data requires hours and hours of time to manually review and analyze. As a result,
useful laboratory data is currently not available, incomplete or inaccurate. Current practices are not
compatible with a comprehensive and coordinated national system.
The Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) is a public health laboratory association that provides
technical assistance to improve the quality of laboratory testing and to strengthen laboratory infrastructure
to support treatment and care for HIV and AIDS. In 2006, APHL conducted an assessment of laboratories
in Rwanda to prepare for the introduction of a laboratory information system (LIS). Progress on this
program has been slowed by other priorities in country. In FY 2009, APHL will return to Rwanda to assist
the NRL to develop a plan of action for the implementation of a LIS. APHL will help the NRL to develop
system requirements for a LIS and a work plan leading to the selection and implementation of a LIS.
Specifically, APHL will do the following: 1) assist the GOR to develop a strategic and financial plan for the
LIS, 2) help define LIS needs; 3) assist in selecting a solution that meets the GOR's needs within the
budget; 4) help adapt LIS to Rwanda and assist with training and implementation of the LIS.
