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.
Years of mechanism: 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020
The goal of this mechanism is to strengthen Vietnams laboratory capacity to respond to the high burden of TB. This activity is referenced in the Partnership Framework Implementation Plan (Goal #2: Supporting the provision of sustainable HIV/AIDS Services through strengthening systems for peoples health and welfare; Objective 2.1 c: Improve Laboratory Systems through improved strategic planning, systems management, coordination, training and accreditation). The goals and objective of this mechanism are also in line with those of the Strategic Plan of the Vietnam National TB program (NTPSP) for the 2011-2015 period (Objectives 1 and 4 of NTPSP).
Working through the National TB Program (NTP) and focusing on strategy and policy issues, the mechanism will offer interventions at the national, provincial, district and commune levels. It will support the creation of national guidelines/standards led by NTP. The NTP 5-year strategic plan was developed with TB stakeholders involvement and widely shared with partners to ensure good coordination. Persons participating in NTP activities are mostly government staff and this helps maintain program sustainability. Human capacity building is ensured through in-country training programs including new trainings and refresher trainings.
CDC Vietnam maintains cooperative agreement monitoring plans for each partner, including NTP. A set of 12 indicators developed by NTP will be used to monitor and evaluate the projects progress. Improvements to the quality of testing can be monitored and evaluated through quality control of the tests performed in the laboratories. This will include both Internal quality control and external quality assessment results.
According to the WHO, Vietnam ranks 12th of the 22 high-burden TB countries. The 2011-2015 NTPSP establishes the goals of reducing the TB prevalence in Vietnam by half from 2010 to 2015 and ensuring that there is no increase in the multi-drug resistant (MDR) rate through 2015 from the rate reported in the 2010 Drug Resistance Survey (DRS).
Activities proposed under COP 12 aim to improve the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of TB prevention and control and lung health programs in Vietnam. The ultimate goal is to improve lung health, to prevent TB transmission, to reduce TB-related morbidity and mortality, and to prevent the development of TB drug resistance in the country.
Specific activities that will be supported with HVTB and HLAB funding include: 1) the piloting and implementation of a Public-Public Mix DOTS (PPMD) model at provincial hospitals; 2) strengthening a community network in remote and mountainous areas for TB detection and management; 3) strengthening lab capacity and service networks and 4) support to the Vietnam Stop TB Partnership (VSTP). These activities are aligned with the NTP 2011-2015 strategic plan and are implemented in accordance with the PEPFAR technical strategy. The NTP will support the PPMD model with a focus on human capacity building in clinical and laboratory diagnosis and treatment of TB in high-risk people including HIV-infected persons. Strengthening community networks for TB diagnosis and management will be done through the training of commune and village health workers and through building public awareness of TB with IEC activities. The NTP will continue to support VSTP through coordinating regular meetings.
