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.

Note: Hope Worldwide's AB prevention activities are also supported by Track 1 funds (see separate entry).
Hope Worldwide (HWW) began its PEPFAR-funded HIV prevention activities in Côte d'Ivoire in FY06 with
Track 1 support. The HWW AB prevention program is aimed at promoting abstinence and faithfulness and
reducing behaviors that place youth (ages 10-14), parents, and monogamous couples at risk and at
addressing social norms with men through behavior change communication (BCC) activities carried out in
partnership with academic and religious organizations.
In FY 2008, Hope Worldwide collaborated with host government ministries and local organizations to
implement AB activities, concentrating primarily on the southern, central, and western-central regions of the
country.
HWW works closely with the Ministry of National Education (MEN) to identify resources from the faculty,
administrative and technical representatives, and school parent committees (COGES) for training in parent-
child communication. Training strengthened 25 existing youth networks and 24 networks of parents on
resource mobilization, facilitation techniques, and elaboration of development projects. Financial support
was given for networks to extend and expand activities that promote abstinence, parent-child
communication, and voluntary testing. It was also given to eight PMO from Bondoukou and Bouaké for the
implementation of similar AB activities.
HWW supported community networks of young people and parents in conducting HIV prevention and
education activities for World AIDS Day. HWW also began country level adaptation, pilot site mobilization
and early implementation of "Family Matters," an evidence-based intervention targeting parents of children
aged 9-14 to improve their comfort and knowledge base in discussing difficult subjects such as sexuality,
HIV, and risky behavior. This program is part of Hope's AB activities and takes into account those of parent-
child communication.
In 2009, activity-specific and overall monitoring and evaluation will be continuously emphasized and
improved as needed, based on quality assurance efforts and updated PEPFAR and national indicators.
Specific activities supported with FY09 fundnig will include:
1. Strengthen the capacity of eight partners (PMO) in Abidjan, Bouake, and Bondoukou to improve the
quality of interventions that promote abstinence targeting youth (school-based and school leavers) and
parent-child communication. HWW will work in collaboration with CARE and ANADER to strengthen this
capacity in rural areas with both young people and parents.
2. Assist PMOs in Bouake and Bondoukou to expand their interventions promoting abstinence in youth,
parent-child communication into more rural areas in collaboration with CARE and ANADER. In addition,
increase focus on programs that promote fidelity among adults.
3. Continue implementing and evaluating outcomes of the "Men as Partners" approach, translated and
adapted in 2008, in collaboration with EngenderHealth and other partners.
4. Extend activities promoting abstinence and fidelity to Tiassalé (targeting adult men and women) and
promote the reduction of gender-based violence using and evaluating results from the "Men as Partners"
approach in collaboration with EngenderHealth.
5. Organize a career day and academic excellence for 300 young people (focusing on girls) practicing
abstinence. These activities provide positive role models and career options and promote academic
achievement, leadership and personal responsibility (life skills) among young people.
6. Organize HIV prevention through educational activities, Sports for Life, and other interactive approaches
for 250 young people in collaboration JHUCCP, the Ministry of Youth and Sport and Recreation (MJSL),
and socio-cultural town halls.
7. Facilitate group discussions with other organizations involved in AB prevention and participate in
technical working groups led by the Ministry of the Fight Against HIV/AIDS (MLS). This TWG will review
results and challenges to begin harmonization of AB interventions (activities, strategies, stakeholders,
collection tools).
8. Assist other implementing organizations to expand use of new national abstinence training materials
created in 2008.
9. Assist other organizations in quality assurance of abstinence interventions and parent-child
communication in three sites.
10. Enter Phase 2 of the Families Matter pilot, conducting an evaluation of the FY08 three-month training
cycle and expanding services into surrounding towns in the district of Tiassale (N'douci and Singrobo). The
pilot project, which will end in June 2009, will be evaluated in collaboration with CDC Atlanta, the MLS,
MJSL, MEN, and MFFAS, and results and lessons learned will be shared with partners.
11. Transition to reduced support and periodic monitoring of activities at older, more autonomous sites and
initiate youth and parent network mobilization at new sites in Abidjan, Bouake, Yamoussoukro, Tiassale,
Bassam, and Bondoukou.
12. Emphasize abstinence and parent-child communication activities for OVC and their parents. HWW's
efforts in the area of care and support for OVC is to help young people ages 10-18 begin the practice and
promotion of abstinence as peer educators. We also develop parent-child communication programs for
parents of these young people, in order to improve communication between them and their children at sites
in Abidjan, Bouake, Bassam and Bondoukou.
13. Extend HIV prevention activities involving education and community mobilization for PMTCT and CT to
new sites in Abidjan, Bouake, Yamoussoukro, and Tiassalé.
14. Evaluate abstinence youth and parent-child communication projects.
15. Validate the training manual for the faithfulness program with national implementing partners and the
MLS.
16. In collaboration with JHU/CCP, produce adapted HIV prevention BCC materials (flipchart, leaflets,
manual, and cassettes) in support of parent-child communication.
17. Continue to support community networks financially and technically to expand activities that promote
abstinence, parent-child communication, and voluntary testing. Financial support will be based on action
plans and budgeted networks developed and validated by HWW in partnership with local officials. Networks
are composed of voluntary peer educators from different religious organizations, schools, and academic
Activity Narrative: groups who received training on abstinence and parent-child communication. Networks serve as a forum to
exchange experiences between parents and educators.
The youth networks coordinate various activities relating to the promotion of abstinence in young people in
various religious organizations, schools, and academic and community organizations. Similarly, networks of
parents coordinate activities to enhance parent-child communication in support of HIV prevention through
risk avoidance and life skills. To promote sustainability, the networks are formed in a transparent,
collaborative process that can then be supported by mayors and other local financing processes. Networks
should inform health authorities about their action plans and submit reports on their activities.
For the year FY09, HWW expects to facilitate greater involvement of girls and women by increasing the
number of females participating in various trainings and guiding actions targeting high school and college
students.
SUPERVISORY APPROACH TO ENSURE QUALITY OF SERVICE
HWW will collaborate with MLS and other PEPFAR partners in 2009 focus on harmonizing indicators and
approaches used in peer education activities. In addition, implementation of the overall program will be
developed by the PMO and networks. The activities of the PMO and networks at each program site will be
facilitated by a coordinator, and supervised by a program assistant in order to ensure the quality of program
implementation. The PA will evaluate capacity, and facilitate the structural organization of PMO and
networks based on validated assessment and planning tools. Tools for collecting data on the project
(identification sheet, activity sheets, sheet planning, reporting and Sheet learning) and guidelines for
implementation will be provided in order to strengthen the skills of local leaders,.
The site coordinator will organize field visits during the month to facilitate implementation of planned
activities and assess their level of achievement. Meetings will be organized, each month, per site, to assess
progress with all of the PMOs and networks, to help identify possible problems and solutions, but also
ensure that the achievement of results is advancing as planned. The coordination team organized, every
four months, supervisory visits to field staff, focal points of PMO or networks to evaluate the quality of
service and data in order to improve their competence and quality of service.
Each quarterly review workshop and reflection will be organized for the benefit of the PMO and networks. It
is a time for sharing experiences, best practices, guidance strategies, and defining next steps. Midterm and
end of the fiscal year audits of PMO and networks will be organized, to assess the quality of data in order to
make accurate recommendations for improvement.
