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.
Otse Home-based Care (HBC) is a specialized and independent type of HBC that implements a wide range of activities that provide delicate and appropriate services to communities affected and/or infected by HIV/AIDS. The following are activities undertaken by Otse HBC through a pool of its volunteers: 1. Provision and expansion of care and support services for 1113 OVCs during 2010. The care and support services are provided to the community through a family-centered care model which is a comprehensive approach that involves assessing the needs of the entire family and bringing integrated services to the entire family of the infected and/or affected. Volunteers are at the front-line of assessing the comprehensive needs of the family by conducting house to house visits to provide care and support basing on the client's needs and refer to Family Welfare Educators and/or Clinical nurse who will provide required service or refer externally to other service providers and stakeholders.
Volunteers visit homes to reach at least four clients from different households for four days a week, one of which will be a first contact whilst the other three are follow ups. OVC clients are assisted with any identified and arising established arising need they may have such as bathing, cooking, cleaning and counseling or simply guiding the care taker at home. The volunteer will also check OVC welfare cards for immunization schedules, check school attendance status, access to health care, and protection among others. Otse also has a Nutrition Officer who does home visits with volunteers in order to complement them by specifically addressing issues of healthy eating habits.
2. Increasing organizational capacity through provision of training services to 200 caregivers to provide care and support during 2010 to OVCs. Otse HBC is in the process of training 100 caregivers from Ramotswa, 60 from Otse, and 40 from Mogobane most of which will be female as they are often found to be the ones specifically caring for the children. This skills development will be conducted during (Four) 4 or five-day workshops/trainings. The workshops are conducted and facilitated by OHBC staff with assistance from other available health agencies. 3. To increase the capacity of 150 stakeholders to support and motivate community members to work with HBC agencies in 2010. Stakeholders are defined as community leaders, such as Kgosi, Pastors, teachers and other community organizers. Their influential support is needed for the successful implementation of home based care services within a community. Otse HBC will conduct three five-day awareness workshops throughout the year in order to inform and educate 75 stakeholders from Ramotswa, 55 from Otse, and 20 from Mogobane about home-based care. Each will consist of 50 participants.
4. Provision of Training for 20 new volunteers to provide care and support during 2010. Otse HBC will conduct a 5-day workshop for the 20 newly recruited volunteers (15 in Ramotswa and 5 in Mogobane). The purpose of additional volunteers is to strengthen the home based care services for quality and growth provided at the two sites. 5. Public Education in three sites about nutrition and healthy eating. For rehabilitation and empowerment, Otse has also embarked on home or kitchen gardens project in Otse village only and this has not yet been extended to the other sites. The project is founded on continued efforts of four other younger HIV positive ex-client youth of Otse Home-based Care. There is a garden facilitator volunteer who conducts home visits to households in Otse, teaching them about gardening and growing vegetables. Otse helps the households with kraal manure and seedlings to grow vegetables.
6. To build volunteers' capacity in care and support. Otse will provide four three-day workshops as in-service training for 58 volunteers. These workshops will be completed on a quarterly basis. The purpose of the workshops is to enhance their approach in service delivery.
7. To conduct annual general meeting for the organization. Otse will utilize this general meeting to elect new board members, report on the previous year's activities, evaluate those activities, share success stories and analyze challenges. The meeting will also serve as a forum to map the way forward for Otse.
8. Annual staff planning retreat. Otse will review the previous year's work plan, develop the new work plan for the upcoming year, and create a sustainability strategy for the future. This will also provide staff an opportunity to take a break from the challenges of care provision and debrief on the year's events.
