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.

Recognizing the importance of the private sector in the provision of health services in Vietnam, since 2007, PATH has been implementing a program to increase access to existing TB and HIV case detection, treatment, and prevention services by leveraging the capacity of the private sector, specifically pharmacies and private clinics. These activities are strengthening linkages between private pharmacies and other providers of TB and HIV services and developing and testing models to improve the effectiveness of private clinicians' participation in TB and HIV control and treatment efforts. PATH strengthened the capacity of pharmacists and pharmacy staff from three districts in Hai Phong city to deliver high-quality TB- and HIV-related information, services, and referrals. This included activities such as orientation meetings, private-public mix meetings, training for private pharmacy staff on referral models and interpersonal communication, visits for pharmacy staff to DOT centers, and the establishment of referral and supportive supervision systems. In Vietnam GFTAM TB Round9, PATH is major partner of the National TB Program to implement PPM in various provinces. Building on the work currently underway with PEPFAR program, for FY09, PATH proposes to sustain the existing pharmacy and private clinic activities in Hai Phong and, with additional $400,000, begin pilot implementation of these activities in Ho Chi Minh City, Nghe An, and Can Tho which are areas with high burden of TB. These are provinces in different regions of Vietnam that the PPM will need to be adapted for lessons learned and further expansion under GFTAM Round 9 TB funding.
$400,000 additional funds are being added in the May 2010 Programming to support PATH to expand their current private pharmacy tuberculosis referral program, which is currently operating in Hai Phong into three to six additional provinces with a high TB burden of disease and existing high quality TB services. This program trains private pharmacists, who are the health care workers with first point of contact for the majority of Vietnamese people, to recognize patients with respiratory conditions and refer them to TB services for assessment. The initial Hai Phong program showed high rates of successful referral using this methodology, which is now closer to being ready for large scale national scale up. In addition to implementing this PPM expansion PATH will be working with the Global Fund and the National Tuberculosis Program to adapt to project for implementation by the NTP using Global Fund funds.
