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.
Goals and Objectives:
The Light and Courage Centre Trust provides an array of services to HIV positive adults. Additionally they have a pre-school OVC program which aims at ensuring that the children of HIV positive parents accessing services through the Centre have access to pre-school. While this is a benefit to the child, it also creates time for the parent to take part in rehabilitation programs offered through the Centre.
Linkage to Partnership Framework goals:
The activities of the Light and Courage Centre Trust OVC program link very well with the Partnership Framework Goal 4.
Geographic coverage and target population:
Based in Francistown, Light and Courage Centre extends coverage to pre-school children of parents who are HIV positive and accessing services through the Centre.
Implementing mechanism's cross-cutting programs and key issues:
Their activities are being funded through the pipeline, they do not require additional funding this year.
Monitoring and Evaluation plans:
A Monitoring and Evaluation person who reports to the funding agency on a quarterly basis is in place. The M & E person reports on relevant targets derived from the NGI document.
