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.

Finally, test kits for the BED HIV-1 incidence assay developed by HHS/CDC and unavailable for local
procurement will be purchased through HHS/CDC from a sole source provider($200,000). In FY08 and in
collaboration with HHS/CDC/GAP laboratory and surveillance branches, the Vietnam National Institute of
Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE) is quantifying and comparing local misclassification rates for estimating
HIV-1 incidence using a variety of incidence assays in Vietnam. Other assays under development (i.e.,
Avidity Index assay, rIDR-Avidity Index Assay, Limiting Antigen Avidity assay, and Rapid I-P) are being
tested in combination with the BED assay and may also be procured upon identification of an appropriate
sequential testing algorithm. HIV incidence surveillance will be conducted on stored and new sentinel
surveillance and IBBS specimens for IDU and CSW populations. This activity will contribute to a better
understanding of the HIV epidemic in Vietnam by helping to identify most at-risk populations (MARPs) with
highest rates of new infection. These data will contribute to the overall understanding of the trend of the
HIV epidemic in Vietnam and would be a vital component of a developing national strategy for strategic
information supporting the GVN for program planning.

This activity supports several critically important HVMS activities, including a portion of the procurement of
long term contracts staff to support PEPFAR programming, administrative costs to manage the CDC offices
located in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and a portion of US direct hire staff salaries, benefits, allowances
and relocation costs.
In 2008, CDC Vietnam successfully established a program management unit within its organizational
structure to provide day to day oversight and support to the cooperative agreement portfolio that has been
established to implement PEPFAR programs in Vietnam. Contractual staff have been key to the "standing
up" of this unit and are responsible for working closely with GVN counterparts to increase their management
and administrative capacity. This is accomplished by providing support to partners in the development,
implementation and monitoring of budgets, work plans and activities. This unit also works closely with the
entire PEPFAR Vietnam team to effectively manage and provide liaison support between the grantees, the
CDC Vietnam Project Officer and the PEPFAR Vietnam technical staff. This unit is also responsible for
assisting in the development of funding opportunity announcements, coordinating technical reviews and
assuring that grantees submit continuation applications in a timely manner.
A portion of time is attributed to HVMS for the CDC Associate Director for Ho Chi Minh City, who serves as
the overall head of the Ho Chi Minh City office working in close collaboration with CDC Hanoi and the
members of the multi-agency PEPFAR team. Serving as the principal technical and scientific officer for Ho
Chi Minh City, this officer provides overall coordination of PEPFAR activities in southern Vietnam and
provides oversight of programs under the HCMC Provincial AIDS Committee cooperative agreement with
CDC.

Throughout the year, CDC procures the services of short-term technical assistance through contractual
mechanisms. This assistance includes but is not limited to: services of a professional writer/editor, services
to cover staffing gaps in the management and staffing program area, etc and are procured on an as needed
basis. These short term contracts are supported by the PEPFAR country team in Vietnam.
Other, miscellaneous items that are funded through this activity include purchase orders that are written for
equipment and miscellaneous supplies, etc.
In FY08 CDC's Coordinating Office of Global Health along with IT Services Office (ITSO) began the process
of developing a comprehensive plan to upgrade the CDC global information technology (IT) services that
will allow all countries to receive broader band width and improved electronic communications. This fee will
cover the IT management costs at headquarters and in the region associated with supporting existing and
new positions, including direct hire, locally employed and contractor staff to provide services and support to
CDC offices in Hanoi and in Ho Chi Minh City.
This activity represents a portion of funding allocated to this program area for the ITSO tax, which is
charged to CDC Vietnam on an annual basis.
