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 2012 2013
Overall project goal and objectives: The HIV Prevention for the Most-At-Risk Populations (HIV-MARPS) Project is a five (5) year funded project that begun on 1 October 2008. The 2 main objectives of the HIV-MAPRS project to design and implement HIV prevention MAPRS activities, and to build capacity of local civil society organizations (CSOs) to implement and monitor their HIV prevention MARPS programs.
In FY 2010, HIV-MARPS will continue to implement HIV prevention activities that were begun in FY2009 and will include:
1. Design and Implement community-based HIV prevention Interventions targeting MARPS.
Continue with dissemination of behavior change communication (BCC) materials already in existence, that have targeted messages incorporating benefits of condom use, voluntary male circumcision (MC), early STI screening and treatment
Conduct HIV prevention training for local implementing partners
Strengthen and develop referral linkages for MARPS in the selected districts to ensure the continuum of care
Provide technical assistance to implementing partners to develop a peer educator training program for MARPS
In partnership with implementing partners support the mobilization MARPS in venues such as youth recreational facilities, bars/shebeens, truck stops and border crossings
Continue to participate in high level national technical working groups such as National Technical Advisory Committee on HIV Prevention, multiple concurrent partnerships and MC
Convene annual district-level meetings to review program progress and promote sharing for "MARP Success Stories"
Begin developing a compendium of best practices on HIV prevention interventions for MARPs
2. Strengthen the technical and organizational capacity of local civil society organizations to support the implementation of MARPS HIV prevention strategies
Develop and implement a technical assistance plan on organizational development (OD) for each local implementing partner
Facilitate the development/ update of organizational administrative and financial policies and procedures for local partners
Conduct OD training to network organizations and their member organizations on governance and leadership, project design and management, human and financial management
Train local implementing partners on how to develop sustainable resource mobilization strategies and on community dialogue techniques
On an ongoing basis provide site supportive supervision for local partners on OD issues
Participate in USG and Non-USG Capacity Building Technical Working Groups
3. Monitoring and Evaluation
Train local implementing partners on project data collection and reporting tools
Implement the HIV-MARPS standard operating procedure for Data Quality Assurance
Continue to provide site supportive supervision for M & E activities
Review and revise project indicators and
Target population: This includes- 1) Young women 15-29 years old in cross-generational and/or transactional relationships; 2) Female sex workers (FSWs) and their clients, and 3) Migrant male populations whose work separates them from their primary partners and families
Geographical coverage: HIV-MARPS will continue implementation of activities in five (5) districts namely- Gaborone, Tlokweng, Selebi-Phikwe, Francistown, Chobe (Kasane)
Making the Most of HIV Resources:
Leveraging HIV resources Project funds are being leveraged to improve the following activities and existing programs: (1) TB improved TB case finding and among MARPS and prompt referral for diagnostic work up and treatment. TB screening activities will be implemented by incorporating by training local implementing partners to administer a simple TB questionnaire tool; (2) STI MARP providers will be trained on how to screen for simple STI, partner notification and referrals for STI treatment; (3) PMTCT train MARP providers in providing PMTCT services for project beneficiaries including referrals to receive antiretroviral therapy; and (4) economic livelihoods the project will provide micro-credit schemes and craft training for MARPs. Sustainability the HIV-MARPS project is providing capacity building for local institutions to develop and manage HIV prevention programs. This is being done thought: (1) providing local CSOs with 1-3 year grants as well as providing organization development capacity building that ensures local CSOs can mobilize and manage additional resources; (2) at the district level the project makes effort to involve the district multi-sectoral AIDS committee (DMSAC) by supporting DMSAC to accompany project team to conduct supportive site visits to the projects implementing partners, facilitating periodic review of project activities to understand challenges and develop plans to overcome implementation barriers
Activities planned for FY 2010: HIV-MARPS will continue to fund the implementation HIV prevention activities that were intiated in FY2009 and will include:
Continue to provide grants and grant management support to the 8 identified local implementing partners
Continue to provide site supportive supervision for M&E activities
Review, revise project indicators and in collaboration with local partners establish project targets
