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.

09.P.AB08: Youth Health Organization
ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY2008
From COP08:
Through the NPI, YOHO is developing a national network of youth serving organizations and providing
community mobilization and community outreach activities to in and out of school youth ages 10-29. The
target areas are 9 villages/towns/health districts across the country, namely Lobatse, Hukuntsi, Gantsi,
Kasane, Letlhakane, Francistown, Serowe, Letlhakeng, and Gaborone. NPI is one of many funding sources
that YOHO receives for its various activities. The activities described below are those funded by NPI funds.
Since receiving the NPI award in March 2007, YOHO has selected additional staff for its headquarters office
and 7 of the 9 affiliate sites, including hiring of program heads, artistic directors, a regional director, a
monitoring and evaluation officer, among others. YOHO provided training to various key staff in monitoring
and evaluation, financial management, and program delivery. They gave refresher training to 77 outreach
volunteers in 8 affiliate sites, and in 4 sites, trained 80 teachers and affiliate site staff on the YOHO primary
school life skills curriculum (Seboza Life Skills). They have worked actively to upgrade the infrastructure of
both the headquarters in Gaborone and in the affiliate sites, including identification of land space and the
purchase of portacabins. They also are preparing for their first audit, per US government regulations. In
coming months, they will focus on training and program implementation.
In 2008, YOHO will continue with its core capacity-building and outreach activities. For capacity building to
its youth group affiliates, YOHO will support a training cascade in its youth theater program, working with its
9 affiliates to in turn train approximately 5 additional youth groups from surrounding villages in the
curriculum, designed to improve the quality and reach of youth theater performances. Most theater groups
include young adults (youth in their 20's). They will continue to offer training in organizational development
to the 9 sites through both district and national trainings, with workshops and individual assistance in
financial management, resource mobilization, program monitoring and reporting, as well as behavior
change and key HIV prevention topical areas (e.g. alcohol-HIV, multiple sexual partnerships).
YOHO will continue implementing and developing its four main outreach activities. The first activity targets
upper primary students ages 10-12 with its Seboza Life Skills program, which YOHO facilitators will deliver
with teachers to groups of 25 students from approximately 35 schools in the 9 target areas (5 per district).
The program involves 40 hours of exposure and draws from the Grassroots Soccer program and YOHO's
own programs; it focuses on delayed debut of sexual activity and related life skills. After graduating from
the program, students develop a stage play, which goes to district competitions and culminates in a national
Children's Theater Expo.
The second activity involves organizing student days at junior and senior secondary schools across the 9
target districts. Student days engage various students in preparing for the event, and the actual event runs
approximately 3 hours, showcasing student activities and performances to the entire student body and
focusing on a pre-selected HIV prevention theme. In coming months, YOHO will pilot additional ways to
engage with small groups of students during the organizing and conduct of student days, to deepen the
quality of outreach that YOHO provides through this activity. The specific activities are to be determined
and include consideration of the GOLD life skills program that YOHO is piloting among older students in
Francistown.
The third activity involves road shows in the target communities, which use edutainment techniques to
mobilize young adults for HIV prevention and action. The road shows are 3 hour community events that
involve theater, music, poems, and testimonials. YOHO peer educators mix with the audience to engage
individuals in conversation about the key themes, and performers involve audience members in on-stage
games and debates. In 2008, YOHO plans to conduct 3 road shows in all of its 9 target districts. In coming
months, YOHO also will pilot test additional activities that they could offer as follow up to these mobilization
events, to provide some audience members with small group activities to promote behavior change and HIV
prevention. The specific activities are to be determined and include consideration of community
conversations on the subject matter using the Community Capacity Enhancement Project (CCEP)
approach.
The fourth major activity is production and airing of television series targeting adolescents and young adults.
The shows will air once a month on the national television station and show drama and documentaries on
key HIV prevention themes, specific to the target audiences. YOHO will develop facilitator manuals to
accompany the shows and which their affiliate site facilitators and other organizations will use in their small
group outreach activities. This activity is new for FY08 and will be piloted in coming months.
Finally, YOHO will continue documenting its efforts and sharing lessons learned with its affiliates and other
youth groups across the region. Staff will attend relevant international conferences, as part of
organizational and staff development.
