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.
A Well designed Laboratory infrastructure that meets technical requirements for safety and effective working environment is a key component of the WHO AFRO SLIPTA checklist. In Ghana most of the laboratories were not built as laboratories but an afterthought. Global Health Systems Solutions (GHSS) have been working with upper level laboratories in Ghana in the SLMTA program
Infrastructural challenges has been a major limitation for progress of certain laboratories through the star system of the WHO AFRO SLIPTA Program thus GHSS would be receiving reprogrammed funds to support infrastructural developments in the form of renovations of some of the laboratories enrolled into the accreditation program. The renovation would involve the replacement of laboratory bench tops, doors and windows that does not meet the required standard, creation of specimen reception and collection areas and lighting systems.
These activities will enhance the workflow as well as staff and patient safety and ultimate enhance the performance of the laboratories going through the accreditation process.
