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: 2007 2008 2009
This activity will contribute to the AMREF laboratory strengthening project activities: 8278-Palliative Care:TB/HIV and 8277-Laboratory Infrastructure. AMREF has received PEPFAR funding since 2004 to improve laboratory staffing capacity at Health Center III [HC III] and strengthen laboratory services at Health Centre IV [HC IV] and above in Uganda. The primary focus of the AMREF portfolio is to improve national laboratory services. Specific initiatives include district-level training for HC III basic laboratory staff to upgrade this cardre to Laboratory Assistants; strengthening the training capacity at specific laboratory assistant training schools; equipping of district and regional laboratories; and provision of in-service training to strengthen the capacity of all laboratory staff working at Ministry of Health (MoH) public facilities, uniformed service agencies, and FBO/NGO health facility laboratories.
In FY07, the Regional Procurement Support Office [RPSO] in collaboration with CDC-Uganda will direct this funding to work closely with AMREF for the rehabilitation of 20 district laboratories. Using the Ministry of Health (MoH) laboratory service and equipment standards, RPSO will contract with local firm(s) to assess and implement infrastructure improvements required to ensure district laboratory capacity meets the national standards of care to support HIV/AIDS care and treatment services and HIV-testing to support VCT, TB screening and other key tests related to opportunistic infections diagnosis.
