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.

Infection control is one of the critical "3 I's" pillars of TB/HIV control, and is poorly implemented in Vietnam as in most TB high-burden countries. However, a recent comprehensive literature review commissioned by the WHO showed that the evidence base for the efficacy of infection control measures is generally quite poor. Without evidence of efficacy, it is challenging to convince policy makers and facility managers to prioritize infection control measures, some of which require investments in renovations and equipment, and all of which require management support to ensure ongoing implementation. The Vietnam National TB Program is currently finalizing TB infection control guidelines and a national action plan, with PEPFAR support. As PEPFAR supports implementation of this plan at national and facility levels, this is an ideal opportunity to build in enhanced monitoring and evaluation in order to document the efficacy of the interventions.
We propose to select 3-6 healthcare facilities (both TB and general or infectious disease hospitals) for intensive baseline
and follow up evaluation of airborne infection control measures. In order to assess process indicators, we will conduct
facility environmental and workplace practice evaluations at baseline at yearly intervals for 3 years after IC initiatives
begin. In order to assess actual prevention of infection, baseline and annual follow assessment of latent TB in healthcare
workers will be conducted.
