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.

This activity is linked to HLAB MOH/VAAC (9505), HLAB HCMC-PAC (9503), and HLAB NIHE (9506).
In FY07, in collaboration with MOH/VAAC and the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL), PEPFAR will facilitate the development, dissemination and translation of the first draft of the five year national laboratory strategic plan and provide guidance on the selection of appropriate Laboratory Information System (LIS) tools and contractors to implement an LIS suited to Vietnam's needs.
PEPFAR will support APHL in the formulation of the first national five-year strategic plan for laboratories that will consists of 2 activities; a needs assessment of the diagnostic and clinical laboratory networks, and technical assistance with the development of the plan.
APHL will work with key partners such as NIHE, VAAC, Clinton Foundation, GF, and ESTHER, to conduct a gap analysis of the clinical laboratory network. This will include recommendations for overall strengthening of the clinical laboratory network in Vietnam, current and future laboratory needs in terms of physical infrastructure, equipment, staffing, types and number of tests performed, and human resources capacity development.
APHL, through PEPFAR support, will bring together government and private-sector experts to provide technical assistance with the development of the strategic plan and ensure that the plan complies with the National Strategy on HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control which clearly states that Vietnam will establish laboratories of national and international standards.
In FY06, APHL was the prime partner for all LIS activities. In FY07, PEPFAR will focus on building additional capacity within VAAC. Technical assistance will still be required from APHL for gathering IT requirements as well as selection of an appropriate LIS solution and contractor to implement the solution. APHL's familiarity with Vietnam's LIS needs as well as its expertise in the LIS arena will be of great value to PEPFAR and VAAC in ensuring the success of LIS activities. APHL will also assist with a post-implementation review to assess success and acceptance of a solution and identify further needs.
