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 Kigali Health Institute (KHI) intends to produce highly qualified medical laboratory technologists to provide quality diagnostic services for HIV testing & clinical monitoring. To ensure the sustainability & quality of medical laboratory training in Rwanda, KHI will recruit & build the capacity of local Rwandan educators to staff the Department of BioMedical Laboratory Sciences. The goals of the project include:
Develop human resources, teaching capacity, & a retention strategy to have Rwandan Nationals constitute at least 50% of the permanent teaching staff.
Improve infrastructure & training resources to accommodate a 50% increase in the current number of students.
Review the current training curricula and develop new programs to include all relevant areas.
Establish partnership with other regional and international training institutions.
KHI plans to renovate existing laboratory space to accommodate an increased number of students & equipment. The BLS department will purchase reagents, laboratory equipment & consumables, modern textbooks, audiovisual training material & electronic equipment, & journal subscriptions. KHI will continue to improve training curricula. The program includes comprehensive training on laboratory management, quality assurance & quality control, hematology, biochemistry, immunoserology, & microbiology. The department will establish linkages with other universities in the country, the region & overseas to increase access to modern health approaches relevant & applicable to the Rwandan context. In addition, KHI is developing an M&E program that will allow it to measure the effectiveness of the training both at KHI & at clinical sites. No vehicles have been purchased or leased or planned under this mechanism.
Through support by USG PEPFAR, KHI intends to produce highly qualified medical laboratory technologists to provide quality diagnostic services for HIV and to monitor treatment of adults and children infected with HIV. To ensure the sustainability and quality of medical laboratory training in Rwanda, KHI will recruit and build the capacity of local Rwandan educators to staff the Department of BioMedical Laboratory Sciences. The goals of the project include:
Develop human resources, teaching capacity, and a retention strategy to have Rwandan Nationals constitute at least 50% of the permanent teaching staff.

KHI plans to renovate existing laboratory space to accommodate an increased number of students and equipment. In addition, the BLS department will purchase reagents, laboratory equipment and consumables, modern textbooks, audiovisual training material, and electronic equipment, journal subscriptions to ensure that the laboratory is sufficiently equipped with training resources. KHI will continue to improve its curriculum to meet the needs of medical laboratory technicians and technologists. This program will include a comprehensive training program on laboratory management, quality assurance and quality control, as well as core modules on hematology, biochemistry, immune-serology, and microbiology, among others. The department will establish linkages with other universities in the country, the region and overseas to increase access to modern health approaches relevant and applicable to the Rwandan context. In addition, KHI is developing an M&E program that will allow it to measure the effectiveness of the training on the KHI campus and the training received by students at remote site during their clinical attachments.
