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 supports costs associated with local procurements, contracts, etc. that are paid for out of post
held funds. Such costs include, but may not be limited to allowable expenses associated with MTCT staff
related office support, including travel, communications, equipment, and miscellaneous procurement
(including translation services, printing, meeting room rental, office utilities, etc.).
Other expenses allocated to this program area include rental of conference meeting rooms for PEPFAR-
wide activities such as partner meetings. It is important to note that office rent costs are associated with
both the Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City PEPFAR offices for 2009.

TRANSACTIONAL SEX ASSESSMENT: $75,000
In FY08, CDC will lead a rapid assessment of transactional sex practices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
This assessment will provide a better understanding of different forms of sex work in Vietnam and
recommendations for improving sex work programming.
FY09 funds will be used to support the dissemination of the assessment findings and improve CSW
programming within PEPFAR and other programs funded by other donors. In particular, workshops will be
held at national and provincial levels to 1) discuss implications of the assessment findings; 2) develop
strategies to improve the reach to individuals engaging in most risky sexual behaviors, particularly CSW
who engage in drug use; and 3) design interventions tailored to the needs of this population. Approximately
300 individuals, including program managers, community outreach workers, and relevant government
authorities, will be key participants in the workshops. Based on the assessment findings and outcomes of
the workshops, the PEPFAR team will assist MOH/VAAC to revise existing CSW-targeted outreach training
curricula and put forward a training plan that benefits outreach workers across the programs.

ACTIVITY 1: $176,689
Each year CDC provides funding for the purchase of Laboratory Test Kits as a contribution to the Lab
program. These lab kits are not available in Vietnam thus making it difficult for PEPFAR partners to
purchase them. Note that only 50% of the cost of these test kits is provided in this activity. The remaining
balance is in a GAP-funded CDC mechanism.
This activity also supports costs associated with local procurements, contracts, etc. that are paid for out of
post held funds. Such costs include, but may not be limited to allowable expenses associated with HBHC
staff related office support, including travel, communications, equipment, and miscellaneous procurement
ACTIVITY 2: $23,000
This is a new activity supported with unallocated funding.
HIV diagnostic testing in Vietnam is currently not standardized or systematic; a variety of different rapid
tests and ELISA tests are used for screening and confirmatory testing across the country. The Vietnam
Ministry of Health is concerned about this situation and has turned to PEPFAR-Vietnam to support the
evaluate HIV rapid tests. In FY08 an HIV rapid test kit evaluation protocol (based on using internationally
accepted guidelines) was developed and approved by the Government of Vietnam and CDC-IRB. This
evaluation is structured to allow for participation from all relevant stakeholders both inside and outside the
government of Vietnam and will serve as a tool for building trust for the use of HIV rapid tests. Ideally it will
also lead to consensus for a single national algorithm.
The Government of Vietnam is also interested in evaluating HIV confirmatory diagnostic test kits, enzyme-
linked immunosorbant assays (ELISA). In the current testing environment in Vietnam it is appropriate to
evaluation which tests perform best in the Vietnam environment and limit the number of ELISA tests used
nationally. This is an easy add-on to the current rapid test evaluation; the same well-characterized sample
set can be used and will allow for comparison of rapid and ELISA test results.
Funding will support procurement of (8-10) HIV ELISA test kits for evaluation.

for out of post held funds. Such costs include, but may not limited to allowable expenses associated with
the assignment of US direct HVMS staff such as housing, utilities, education allowances and benefits, etc.
This activity also funds HVMS staff related office support, including travel, communications, equipment, and
miscellaneous procurement (including a portion of the costs associated with translation services, printing,
meeting room rental, office utilities, etc.). In addition, this activity funds procurement of the services of an
auditing firm to conduct annual financial audits on CDC grantees, thus ensuring adherence to US
Government financial management policies and guidelines.
In COP 2008 the amount of $500,000 was allocated to the Department of State to be used to pay for initial
fit out expenses associated with the planned co-location of PEPFAR Vietnam and related US Government
agencies, including USAID, CDC, DOD and HHS. PEPFAR, Vietnam agencies are working with the
Department of State to secure appropriate office space and it is expected that PEPFAR will collocate in FY
2009. Funds in this activity will support the costs of the logistics involved with moving to a new location. It
should be noted that the moving costs, including purchase of cabling, office furniture, etc. will be a one-time
expense for 2009.
ACTIVITY 2: Funds will be used to support the annual HHS/CDC and PEPFAR management and
programmatic offsite meetings which are a follow on to meetings that were held in FY 2008. The HHS/CDC
retreat will include all HHS and CDC Vietnam staff and will focus on development of agency priorities,
activities and communications. HHS/CDC initiatives, administrative and guidelines updates will also be
discussed. Funds in this activity will be used to support travel and per diem for CDC Vietnam Global AIDS
Program staff participating in this offsite. The PEPFAR offsite will include all PEPFAR staff from USAID,
DOD and CDC and will focus on the further development of PEPFAR Vietnam strategies, roles and
responsibilities of the USG partner agencies and team building. Funds in this activity will be used to pay for
travel and per diem for CDC's Global AIDS Program staff and the PEPFAR Coordinator's Office staff.
Funds will also be used to pay for expenses related to the offsite, including rental of conference and break
out rooms, equipment, etc. More detailed agendas for both off-sites will be developed at a later date.
