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.

Human resources represent a major challenge in terms of both quantity and capacity of the healthcare delivery system to address Angolas public health needs. Angola currently has one physician, fourteen nurses, one pharmacist and one laboratory technician per 10,000 people. These statistics illuminate the critical shortage of skilled public health workers, particularly field epidemiologists and laboratory managers, with the capacity to respond to the increasing public health needs in the Republic of Angola. This shortage of qualified and capable health care workers poses a major challenge for healthcare delivery. The Angola Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program (A-FELTP) is a collaborative effort of the Angola Ministry of (MoH), Ministry of Higher Education Science and Technology (MOHEST) / University Agostinho Neto (UAN), the African Field Epidemiology Network (AFENET), and PEPFAR to address human resource issues regarding qualified epidemiology and lab personnel.
The roles and responsibilities of MOHEST/UAN are as follows:
Offer the degree certificates upon successful completion of the course;Support the A-FELTP throughout the development process;Assist in finalizing training curriculum ;Obtain approval of the A-FELTP curriculum;Serve as the host for the Public Health Laboratory Residents and Field Epidemiology Residents;Award a MPH in Laboratory Epidemiology and Management, Field Veterinary Epidemiology or Field Epidemiology upon satisfactory completion of the program;Provide academic supervision during field attachment and dissertation writing; andProvide time to residents to conduct outbreak investigation during the training period when requested by MOH.Participate on the A-FELTP steering committee.
The USG will fund the MOHEST/UAN to accomplish the following activities during FY12 using previous year funding:Develop and implement, along with other partners, an integrated and sustainable training plan to build evidence-based public health capacity;Enhance communications and networking of public health practitioners and researchers in the country and throughout the region;Enroll first cohort of students (a total of 10);Work with partners to identify and train faculty;Develop an appropriate academic environment for trainees (classrooms, internet access, and other logistics);Develop a roadmap for sustainability after the current CoAg support;Conduct two short courses for various public health managers;Continue to work with partners to evaluate sites for capacity and readiness to function as a work-site field training center; andStrengthen affiliations with international organizations, the Africa Field Epidemiology Network (AFENET) and Training in Epidemiology and Public Health Interventions Network, an umbrella organization of applied epidemiology and laboratory programs in other countries.
