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.

APHL provides a readily available resource of training laboratories and experienced experts to assist and support in diverse tasks to support HHS/CDC in strategic planning for national laboratory networks, implementing training programs, planning and managing renovation projects, implementing laboratory management information systems, procuring equipment and supplies, and providing for training for laboratory professionals. APHL 5-year plan of activities to support PEPFAR projects has 4 major components: 1. Core training initiatives, pre-service and in-service training; 2. Country-specific action plans; 3. Strategic partnerships; 4. Procurement of laboratory equipment. Once the activities are identified; APHL organizes technical assistance (TA) teams and logistical support to complete the activities successfully. Key areas of laboratory capabilities and capacities are: 1) Laboratory management training; 2) Strategic and operational planning workshops provide knowledge, skills and tools to develop effective strategic plans that support national health goals and guide development of annual operational plans for systematic, sustainable improvements in laboratory services; 3) Twinning agreements between major US public health laboratories and national referral laboratories that support learning opportunities and information sharing; 4) Implementation of laboratory information management systems to increase efficiency of testing, monitoring of QC, supply and equipment management, and data for surveillance; 5) Technical assistance in the development, implementation, and management of quality assurance and external quality assurance (EQA) programs; and 6) Technical assistance in laboratory design and safety, including laboratory biosafety and biosecurity.
In fiscal year 2012, APHL will support the following activities in laboratory infrastructure development:
Strengthen Laboratory Twinning: APHL will facilitate the formation of a twinning relationship between Zambia Ministry of Health and a state PHL in FY 2011 and initiate training activities around TB. In FY 2012, APHL proposes to broaden the scope of this relationship to HIV testing services.Development of a country-wide QMS programEvaluate the implementation of Laboratory Information Management SystemsMaintain and support energy projects implemented in FY11Implement an annual operational plan based on the national laboratory strategic planImplement a national laboratory policyConduct SLMTA training with support from Foundations of Laboratory Leadership and Management (FLLM)
