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: 2008 2009
09.C.PC06: Light and Courage Center Trust - Palliative Care NPI
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
The activities under care and support to people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) have been modified to
provide clinical care and pain management for asymptomatic and symptomatic infections.
Additional activities will include a Rehabilitation Program that provides PLWHA in Francistown with physical,
psychosocial, occupational and vocational rehabilitation.
Capacity building through training of staff and volunteers on adult care and support, HIV/AIDS, the basics of
anti-retrovirals, adherence counseling, reporting skills, monitoring and evaluation, leadership skills, nutrition
and HIV, child nutrition and behavior change communication will be administered in FY2009.
From COp08:
This activity is linked to OVC and Prevention areas. The Light and Courage Centre Trust (LCCT) offers
holistic support to all people, infected, affected, living with HIV/AIDS by effectively utilizing physical, social
and spiritual resources available in Francistown. LCCT will support and scale up its Francistown activities.
LCCT will replicate the present model of care, to additional locations within Francistown. The pattern of
palliative care provided is described below:
1. "Hospice at home" assists clients in the terminal stage of their illness or to the stage where they are able
to access day care at the Light and Courage Centre, and to support the care giving role of household
members. This effort will continue and expand into the four satellite centres being established in COP07. In
addition to the activities directly implemented by LCCT, LCCT has partnered with the Francistown Home
Based Care Program which includes care assistants whose stipends are supported by the city council to
provide HBC services.
2.Day Center Care - Clients come to access LCCT services via referrals made by other care agencies in the
city. They are also referred by other clients, caregivers or family. Some clients refer themselves by coming
to the Center for help. Each potential client is interviewed and a care plan in drawn up. Where this involves
day care the Center transport will collect and return them from and to their homes each day. At each Center
they will receive counselling, education, skills development, spiritual encouragement, tea breaks and a
nourishing meal. LCCT provides an informal atmosphere for mutual support. LCCT provides regular
workshops for caregivers to assist in their education and to share information. They share in a regular
review process to assess their progress and are encouraged to plan for the time when they will be fit
enough to no longer require day care. This has proved an effective means of re-integrating clients into the
community and assisting them to return to work. LCCT provides prevention, treatment adherence,
psychosocial support, education and training services, as well as referrals to other agencies and services.
3. Counselling -The nature and duration is unique to each client, but focuses on health, education, social
and behavioural issues. Each client will have a key worker who will accompany them along whatever path
their illness takes them. When clients no longer require day care they are encouraged to visit the Center
regularly to encourage new clients and to deal with any outstanding / ongoing issues. In addition to the
direct support LCCT provides, LCCT has partnered with BOCAIP to provide support and counselling to the
children of LCCT clients.
4 To provide education training and behavior change support messaging to ongoing and drop-in clients.
While a lot of information is shared in formal and informal counseling situations, there is a need for more
formal behavior change efforts and training. Ongoing clients will include those who are accessing day
centre care who will receive teaching as appropriate in literacy and numeracy, education on the nature of
HIV and appropriate lifestyle responses (including abstinence and faithfulness) and nutrition. Along with
skills development and training this program will empower clients to return to play a full part in family and
community life.
5 OVC Support - In order to support the needs of vulnerable children, LCCT has partnered with BOCAIP
and Bopaganang Basha to offer young people a variety of services. The BOCAIP counseling activities are
described previously. Bopaganang Basha offers young people a variety of activities. It operates during the
day for those who have finished full time education but are unemployed and after school hours for those in
education. It also acts as a health information centre, providing accurate and up to date information on
HIV/AIDS. The program will strengthen Bopaganang's organizational capability and their outreach activities.
In particular it will support a drama based outreach program seeking prevention through abstinence and
faithfulness. Whilst materials used at present are based on publications from the District Health Team it is
anticipated that they will link with YOHO's new initiative also funded under PEPFAR-NPI to improve their
materials. The Light and Courage Centre is anxious to work in partnership to complement its own education
program to ensure the young people learn from the experiences of older clients and so make informed
decisions about their own lives.
The present Center, established in 1998, will remain the main focus for information and resources, based
on the Resource Center and the work of the Education and Training Officer. It will also be the Center
providing more advanced occupational therapy, skills training, education and outreach to the general public,
business and government organisations. In line with the Center's integrated and holistic approach to care
for those infected and affected with HIV/AIDS, this project includes three sub-partners (Francistown Home
Based Care program, BOCAIP, Bopaganang Basha) to enable capacity building and quality improvements
in service delivery.
This whole project will build on the experience already gained in these areas by partnering more effectively
with other organisations and extending the coverage and provision of day centre care by the establishment
of four new satellite centres.
