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.

The Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) implements specific short-term best practices to strengthen laboratory services while working systematically to gain long-term improvements in quality management and infrastructure of laboratories. APHL adapts its work plans and training materials to meet the specific needs and outcome objectives of each country plan. Once the set of activities is identified for the year, APHL organizes the technical assistance (TA) teams and logistical support to complete the activity successfully. Groups of members as well as staff have received training in core activity curricula such as laboratory management so that we can respond in a timely and effective manner to TA requests. A hallmark of APHL performance has been flexibility in responding to changing schedules and in responding to unexpected events.
In Rwanda, APHL will focus on the establishment of a Laboratory Information System using the LIS implementation Process outlined in the Office of the Global AID Coordinator (OGAC) approved guidelines that were developed by APHL.
There is a need for a robust Laboratory Information System (LIS) at Ministry of Health (MOH) administered laboratories throughout Rwanda. Demand for prompt and reliable laboratory testing services has increased as voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) for HIV and anti-retroviral (ARV) treatment programs expand across the country. In addition, laboratories face an increased demand for aggregate statistical data reporting from MOH and USG.
In FY 2010, APHL proposes providing TA to Rwanda for the expanded deployment of a sustainable LIS solution in MOH administered laboratories based on the business needs of the laboratory personnel, the MOH and the USG. APHL proposes to ensure proper management of the LIS system by training local LIS staff to support these activities. APHL will also explore further implementation of appropriate LIS capabilities to additional sites as identified by the National Reference Laboratory (NRL). APHL will purchase needed hardware required for the implementation of an electronic LIS in the selected sites and will continue to work with the identified LIS vendor to roll-out systems to additional sites. This shall also include instrument interfaces between key equipments. APHL will support a LIS subject matter expert to provide technical assistance to this project and to work closely with the MOH and the USG during the course of the year. The LIS technical consultants will also provide training on the management of LIS data and data mining. This training will have a special focus on how LIS data interfaces with care and treatment programs can be maximized.
APHL will work with the MOH to ensure capacity is built within the Ministry to sustain the ongoing initiatives. Super-user training and software customization will continue targeting key representatives from the local pilot LIS sites. This will ensure knowledge transfer to the local laboratory community on LIS implementation. APHL will continue these sustainability initiatives into the next phase of the LIS roll out.
