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 African Society for Laboratory Medicine (ASLM) is a pan-African member organization for laboratory professionals that aims to improve health care in Africa through strengthening laboratory services which are pivotal to disease diagnosis, epidemiological surveillance as well as effective treatment and monitoring. To achieve the organizational aims of uplifting healthcare in Africa, ASLM partners with governments, international, regional and national organizations. ASLM major goals include training and certification of laboratory professionals and clinicians, enrollment of laboratories into the WHO quality improvement program as well as development of national public health reference laboratories to facilitate the training, evaluation of diagnostic technologies and development of evidence-based policies. These highlighted goals will foam the basis through which CDC, in collaboration with ASLM, will render support to the National Health Laboratory Services and National department of Health.
The African Society for Laboratory Medicine (ASLM) will work closely with the National Health Laboratory Services and the National Department of Health to contribute to the improvement of healthcare of all South Africans through the strengthening of laboratory services and systems. The ASLM will render support in a number of key activities including:
1. The continued development of Laboratory Workforce in critical areas that have been identified by the NHLS as well as the NDoH.
2. Rendering support to the NHLS in the monitoring of SLMTA implementation at selected pilot sites around the country, subsequently leading to laboratory accreditation and standardization of the quality of laboratory services.
