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.
Activity: Strategic Information support to HCMC Pasteur Institute
PEPFAR will partner with the Ho Chi Minh City Pasteur Institute to strengthen disease surveillance capacity in the southern region of Vietnam. The HCMC Pasteur Institute oversees preventive medicine and HIV and other disease surveillance in 20 southern provinces, including Ho Chi Minh City. In collaboration with CDC and the National Institute if Hygiene and Epidemiology, the HCMC Pasteur institute will:
Identify operational research needs and conduct epidemiological studies to provide evidence-based best practices in disease control and prevention and to evaluate outcomes and impact of HIV and other disease interventions.
Contribute to national and international disease surveillance knowledge by evaluating methodologies for surveillance, including but not limited to hidden population sampling methods and incidence algorithms.
Provide epidemiologic methodology and analysis support to the HCMC Department of Health, HCMC Provincial AIDS Committee, other provincial AIDs centers, preventive medicine centers, and local technical institutes in surveillance activities in the south of Vietnam, including the development of an integrated disease surveillance system and applications of geographic information systems for disease monitoring and response.
