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: 2008 2009
This is a continuing activity from FY08.
PEPFAR partnered with the General Statistics Office (GSO) of the Ministry of Planning and Investment
(MPI) through a subcontract with Macro in 2005 to conduct the AIDS Indicator Survey and as a prime
partner in 2008 providing technical assistance to the Ministry of Health/Vietnam Administration for HIV/AIDS
Control (MOH/VAAC) for MOH funded population-based surveys. Responsible for all macro national
population, economic, and ministerial service indicators, GSO has broad survey expertise and a deep
network of field personnel in provinces throughout Vietnam. As PEPFAR focuses on improved information
supporting planning and implementation of HIV/AIDS programs, PEPFAR will continue to partner with GSO
to develop GVN capacity and understanding of advanced survey methodologies and technologies. This
developing capacity will enable MOH/VAAC to have ready access to survey capabilities for general
population, focus population, and facility-based surveys for better measurement of program needs, impact,
and resources.
PEPFAR resources will support the following activities:
1) Development of survey methodologies that focus on most-at-risk populations (MARPs) or individuals,
especially youths, at risk for entering these populations, including improved methods for eliciting risk
behaviors difficult to measure based on Vietnamese social norms.
2) Technical assistance to VAAC for sampling frame and protocol development for a mail-out facility survey
around HIV programming.
3) Mobilization of staff in PEPFAR focus provinces and national level to provide technical assistance to
MARP, OVC and PLHIV size estimation activities.
4) Human capacity development within GSO for trained surveyors and identified provincial and district
health staff who will be employed supporting various HIV/AIDS-related surveys.
5) Support for national MOH SI strategy including health metrics, data and indicator harmonization and
TWG support through MPI.
6) Support for data synthesis and use activities, such as geographic information systems and data
triangulation, through one SI technical assistance counterpart in GSO.
