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.

May 10 Programming = $80,000 (2 activities). Budget: $50,000
Activity: HIV subtype testing of BED assay samples
Narrative: This is a continuing activity. Over the past year PEPFAR has partnered with NIHE to determine the local misclassification rate for the BED assay developed by CDC Atlanta to measure incidence rates. The misclassification rate will then be applied to the adjusted BED HIV incidence formula to correctly estimate HIV incidence in Vietnam. Recent data indicate that assay false-recent rates differ substantially by country which may be attributed to different HIV subtypes in these settings. Initial analysis in Vietnam found marked difference in the misclassification rate between the north and the south. Subtype testing on stored specimens will be conducted to help determine what different HIV subtypes are present in individuals with long-term infection in Vietnam and how differing HIV subtypes affects the HIV incidence assays.
Budget: $30,000
Activity: BED testing on IBBS and sentinel surveillance samples
Narrative: This is a continuing activity. PEPFAR has allocated funds through CDC Vietnam to purchase BED assays for incidence surveillance and partnering with NIHE to conduct BED testing on stored samples collected from 2000 and 2001 sentinel surveillance and 2006 and 2009 integrated biological and behavioral surveillance (IBBS). Incidence rate is a more proximal measure for the HIV epidemic than the prevalence data currently available in Vietnam. Upon completion in August 2010 of the BED validation study which would provide the local misclassification rate for adjustment, BED testing will be applied to the stored specimen to estimate HIV incidence trends in Vietnam in both the general and most at risk populations. These funds will be used for implementation costs including laboratory supplies.
