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.

The goal of the TB CARE I project is to improve the quality of and access to TB/MDR TB prevention, diagnosis and treatment; improve coordination of TB/HIV activities; and strengthen TB systems. Geographic coverage will be at the national and provincial levels. At the provincial level, activities will be implemented in the 10 MDR TB provinces (Hanoi, Vinh Phuc, Hai Phong, Thanh Hoa, Da Nang, Phu Yen, Binh Dinh, Binh Thuan, Ho Chi Minh city and Can Tho) and 3 HIV high-prevalence provinces (Quang Ninh, Dien Bien and An Giang). In COP 12, the project will continue supporting the National TB Program (NTP) to successfully implement the National TB Strategic Plan 2011-2015. A key component of TB CARE I activities will be to strengthen human resources and technical capacity to ensure a sustainable TB/HIV care system by providing technical assistance (TA) to the NTP to develop guidelines, training materials, SOPs, and data recording and reporting systems. TB CARE I will expand TB laboratory capacity support and will support national efforts for training and QA in smear microscopy and other new diagnostic tests. As capacity of the NTP is strengthened, KNCV will gradually transition key TB detection and control functions to the NTP, but will provide TA to ensure that the quality of services are maintained. KNCV will coordinate with the National TB control program and other relevant programs, including those supported by other donors (Global Fund, CIDA and WHO), to ensure the investment is complementary. All activities will have strong monitoring and evaluation, and quality and efficiency improvement components, as PEPFAR support gradually shifts to a TA role. No vehicles were purchased for this project.
Since 2007, the TB CAP/TB CARE I projects have supported the National Tuberculosis Program (NTP) and its strategic vision to strengthen TB and TB/HIV control in Vietnam, especially management of drug-resistant TB and TB in vulnerable populations. The TB CARE I project is implemented in collaboration with WHO, CDC, MSH, PATH, PSI, Vietnam STOP TB Partnership and Vietnam TB Association to support the Vietnam NTP to implement the National TB Strategic Plan 2011-2015, and to reduce the number of deaths due to TB by increasing access to timely and quality assured diagnosis and treatment of TB, TB/HIV and MDR TB.
The project will collaborate with NTP and other partners to support routine M&E for NTP, especially the implementation of eTB Manager to maximize work-efficiency at the field level and enable data analysis. In COP 12, the TB CARE I project will provide technical assistance (TA) to NTP to implement in-service training, monitoring and supervision of the laboratory SOPs implementation, including biosafety measures. TB CARE I also will provide TA to NTP networks, especially to 10 MDR wards, to enhance surveillance, monitoring, evaluation, and management of timely and high-quality services for TB and MDR TB. TA will be provided to support development of Xpert implementation, monitoring and operational studies. To increase case finding and adequate management of TB in children, training and supportive supervision on TB control and prevention in children will be implemented by NTP with the technical support of TB CARE I and WHO. TB CARE I will support the wider development of the health system by promoting TB-infection-control, biosafety in laboratories, and by developing a laboratory sample transportation system. The project also will work with the government of Vietnam (GVN) and local partners to increase local investments in TB control. Key achievements in COP 11 included increased capacity for diagnosis of drug-resistant TB, improved biosafety in laboratories dealing with drug-resistant TB, and improved infection control in MDR treatment wards in 5 TB hospitals (Hanoi, Vinh Phuc, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh and Can Tho) and selected peripheral HIV and TB facilities.
