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.
Population Services International (PSI) and World Learning operate five Jango Juvenil centers throughout Angola. They are located in the provinces of Huambo, Cabinda, Cunene, Luanda and Huila. Jango operating funds have been provided by USAID/Angola as well as Banco Fomento de Angola (BFA) as part of a public private partnership. These centers started in 2002/2003. Within each project site the activities are run by different local NGOs. PSI provides BCC materials and trainings for the staff at these sites. During FY 09 the granting of the Jangos was transferred from PSI to World Learning Angola. Hence, World Learning is now responsible for capacity building of Jangos NGO staff in management, finance, and monitoring and evaluation.
The specific activities of each Jango vary depending on the local context within the provinces and municipalities in which they implement. However, a typical Jango offers classes in sewing, bakery and English to youth 10-18 years of age. HIV/AIDS messages are integrated into each class. It is common for the classes to begin with a 5-30 minute discussion on HIV/AIDS prevention. The topics discussed can range from basic facts to sexuality to condoms. They use a comprehensive approach to prevention and discuss ABC. In classes, such as English or drama, where the opportunity presents itself, HIV/AIDS messaging is integrated into class discussion. It is not uncommon for English class debates to center on HIV/AIDS prevention messages. The Jango also holds other activities for youth including film screenings, sports, and community outreach programs such as Community Theater performances, health fairs and BCC messaging targeted at street youth.
The Jango Juvenil project started in 2006 and has never been evaluated by an external party. Due to the expansion of the PEPFAR program in Angola a resulting policy shift from PEPFAR II, the Jango Juvenil project will receive more attention as a viable option for the implementation of comprehensive community based prevention programming. Although the Jangos have already undertaken some community-based approaches, it is hoped that they can be used as a vector in HIV/AIDS programming to build linkages among important community actors such as schools, law enforcement, and parents. The Jangos will also need to build relationships and integrate their activities with those of the local city administration, MINJUD, and the ministry of youth and sports.
While the Jango Juvenil project is being transitioned and further developed, it is pertinent that both the Jangos and their local implementers undergo an external evaluation. The SOW for the evaluation will also include a more broad assessment of youth activities on a national level. In addition, a series of recommendations will be requirement within the SOW to ensure that future implementing partners are able to develop the Jango Juvenil project in a way that ensures sustainability, increased collaboration and coordination with the GRA and other stakeholders and greater integration with the local communities in which they are located.
