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: 2012 2013
Association of Public Health Laboratories will work with CDC/GAP-South Africa, and in collaboration with CDC/GAP with the Department of Health, National Health Laboratory Service and other agencies and partners as appropriate. This is a new Cooperative Agreement for APHL with CDC/GAP-South Africa. Objective 1. Strengthening Integration of the Department of Health and the National Health Laboratory Service. APHL will provide support to the in-country staff with assistance from headquarters staff and APHL members with experience and expertise in database systems, laboratory-based surveillance and epidemiology. APHL will also provide technical assistance, training and coaching on issues of policy development, strategic planning and development of public health laboratory surveillance systems based on its experience in these areas in many African countries. In addition, APHL can also evaluate the laboratory information system of the NHLS. APHL will also assist the NHLS to train management in implementing better financial management, and in the establishment of a national public health laboratory system that will serve the needs of the provincial and national departments of health.
