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.
Years of mechanism: 2010 2011
CDU, in partnership with the Angolan Armed Forces (FAA), provides BCC messaging, setting up VCT clinics; and training Angolan medical personnel in VCT counseling, HIV-related lab work, ARV techniques and HIV epidemiology throughout the five military regions.
Prevention in the military programs have already reaches military personnel through HIV prevention workshops and radio programs, as well as the distribution of brochures, HIV prevention manuals, and HIV prevention comic books and posters designed to instruct and motivate behavioral change. Through their activities, CDU aims to further increase the testing and counseling capability of the FAA by helping to refurbish and equip a total of 3 VCT sites. CDU also trained the requisite counselors in the national standards for counseling and testing to provide the human resources necessary for the establishment of additional VCT centers.
CDU conducts on-going data collection efforts (through surveys and focus groups) to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs. CDU collected data about HIV prevalence and risk behaviors among Angolan military personnel in four locations throughout the country in 2003, gaining much-needed information to guide prevention efforts. The results of the 2003 BSS showed that the infection rate in the Angolan Military was approximately 3.6%. The results also showed higher infection rates in the capital and cities along the Angolan border and very low rates in the center of the country where people have remained fairly isolated.
Through the DOD, the USG collaborates with the FAA to establish 3 CT centers and activities respectively in three sites to be indicated by the FAA. In addition a mobile CT center shall be provided to increase uptake in CT and access. The purpose of increasing the number of CT centers is to increase awareness in the population regarding HIV status, prevent further transmission, expand surveillance data regarding the status of HIV infection in the country, and decrease stigma surrounding HIV by normalizing the process of engaging in HIV screening. These activities are in line with national protocols to enhance the chances of success of both CT and anti retroviral treatment (ART).
CDU will design and implement psychosocial programs to address the psycho-emotional needs of those identified as sero-positive and to improve the rates of adherence for those already in treatment. These psychosocial programs will include prevention education designed specifically to target already HIV-infected persons to help keep their loved ones, family members and sexual partners safe. CDU's prevention efforts with the Angolan Armed Forces are ongoing, and USG aims to reach more military personnel by expanding our programs.Therefore psychologists, physicians will be trained in HIV counseling education with positives. An assessment will conducted to facilitate twinning activities in clinical mentoring between US Navy Medical Center in San Diego and FAA Faculty of Medicine/Psychosocial support program.
Through the DOD-funded Charles Drew University (CDU) prevention program, USG is working with the Angolan military in the production of IEC materials. Charles Drew also supports interventions that reduce HIV transmission in most-at-risk populations (i.e. military and the police).
The USG, through the DOD-funded Charles Drew University (CDU) prevention program, is working with the Angolan military in the production of IEC materials. Charles Drew also supports interventions that reduce HIV transmission in most-at-risk populations (i.e. military and the police). These interventions include prevention messages on promotion of partner reduction, fidelity and the correct and consistent use of condoms. The DoD supports the FAA strategy in the fight against HIV in the military namely training of HIV activists at regional and Unit level. The spouses and children of the military will also be reached with prevention messages.An assessment will be conducted to help set Health Clubs at Military Academic Institutes. These Health Clubs will set up forum to bring awareness about Reproductive and sexual health issues especially HIV/AIDS.
