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.

This is a continuing activity from FY07.
In FY07, the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) provided technical assistance in the form of
guidance on the selection of an appropriate Laboratory Informaton System (LIS) solution. In FY08, APHL
will assist with the expansion of the LIS to 4 more sites in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) and other provinces,
linkage between the LIS and VCT and PMTCT sites, linkage with patient management systems, and
interfacing analyzers with the LIS. APHL will also assist with the development of a core minimum data set
for laboratories. APHL's familiarity with Vietnam's LIS needs as well as their expertise in the LIS arena will
be of great value to USG and MOH in ensuring the success of LIS activities. APHL will also assist with a
post-implementation review to assess success and acceptance of solutions and identify further needs.
