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 American Society for Microbiology (ASM) is available to PEPFAR countries to address two key aspects
of clinical microbiological laboratory capacity building: 1) strengthening laboratory organizational and
technical infrastructure especially as it relates to clinical microbiology for HIV (and opportunistic infections)
prevention, care and treatment programs, and; 2) assuring the quality of laboratory testing and HIV test
results by instituting systematic approaches to delivering clinical microbiology services to HIV/AIDS (and
opportunistic infections) prevention, treatment and care programs.
In FY 2008 PEPFAR is supporting ASM to conduct an assessment of clinical microbiology services. The
primary objective of the assessment is to develop a strategic plan for strengthening laboratory capacity in
support of HIV/AIDS care programs in Rwanda. ASM is working with the CDC and NRL to conduct the
following activities: 1) collect data on physical infrastructure, types and number of tests performed,
equipment status, and personnel at the central microbiology laboratory level; 2) analyze data on laboratory
capacity and identify significant gaps; 3) determine panel of tests at each lab level by
infrastructure/requests; incidence/prevalence of infection; severity of infection; procedures required to obtain
specimens; availability of therapy; complexity of test; training; quality assurance and cost; and 4) develop a
strategic plan for microbiology to include needs of Rwanda to support opportunistic infections and sexually
transmitted infections. The strategic plan will address the following: personnel, guidelines and consensus
protocols, monitoring and evaluation, supply management, data management, and QA.
In FY 2009, ASM will continue to assist the NRL to implement the strategic plan developed in FY 2008.
This plan will allow the Government of GOR to provide laboratory services to support the diagnosis of
opportunistic infections (OI) associated with HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections (STI). ASM will
partner with the NRL to implement laboratory strategies for the NRL and the Laboratory Network initially
focusing on the five regional laboratories and the two university teaching hospital laboratories.
