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: 2011 2012 2013 2014 2016
Goal: To strengthen the capacity of the Dominican Republic to provide HIV/STI/TB prevention and risk reduction interventions among Mobile Populations.
Objectives:
Increase the opportunity, ability and motivation of mobile populations to adopt safer sexual behaviors.
Strengthen the capacity of the GODR and partners to deliver HIV/AIDS services to mobile populations.
Improve the supply and availability of affordable, high quality condoms among mobile populations.
Geographic Coverage: The target populations include construction and agricultural workers, truckers and street vendors. Will work in partnership with three experienced local non-government organizations; MOSCTHA, BRA Dominicana and CEDESCO. MOSCTHA will work in the city of Santo Domingo, the eastern provinces of La Romana, Higuey (Municipality of Verón) and Dajabón (on the border with Haiti); BRA Dominicana will work in Villa Mella, Santo Domingo and in the provinces of Pedernales (SW border with Haiti), Sanchez Ramirez (central) and Monte Plata (central) and CEDESCO will work in the provinces of Independencia (on the southern border area with Haiti), Bahoruco (southern) and Pedernales.
Transition Strategy: PSI/DR will work with subcontractors to build their technical, administrative, reporting and management capacity.
Cost Effectiveness: Partner organizations will provide services and referrals using existing public health clinics, organizational offices and mobile clinical units.
M&E: Monthly visits to the Integrated Care Units (UAI), treatment centers, and the mobile clinics are planned as part of routine supervisory and monitoring activities for this project. In addition, regular interactions with peer educators will be conducted each quarter to moni
Population Services International (PSI/DR) will focus on the provision of prevention interventions and services for construction workers, agricultural workers, and street vendors. The main goals are to address the gaps in access to effective HIV, TB and STI prevention interventions and access to health care services to reduce the incidence of HIV and other STIs in these populations.
PSI/DR will use evidence-based interventions that have shown effectiveness in similar populations in other countries, but adapted to the Dominican context, including approaches using Popular Opinion Leaders (POL) which have been effective in high-risk populations in the US. PSI/DR partnered with three local organizations: MOSCTHA will target construction and street vendors in Santo Domingo, the eastern provinces of La Romana, Higuey and the northwestern province of Dajabón (on the border with Haiti); BRA Dominicana will work with street vendors and agricultural workers in Villa Mella, Pedernales (southwestern border with Haiti), Sanchez Ramirez (central) and Monte Plata (central); and CEDESO will work with street vendors and agricultural workers in the provinces of Independencia (southern border area with Haiti), Bahoruco (south) and Pedernales (southwestern border with Haiti).
PSI will also work with these organizations to gradually build their technical, administrative, reporting and management capacity in collaboration with the MOH. Health care providers working in facilities were PSI and its contracting organizations are located will be targeted for training to improve access to prevention interventions, service provision and referral linkages for mobile populations.
Over the next three years PSI plans to reach 10,989 mobile populations and their sub-groups with individual and/or small group evidence based interventions; aiming to have increased HIV testing by 15% and reduced the percent of persons who have two or more partners by 5% below the baseline estimates and increase by 150 the service outlets that offer socially marketed condoms aimed at mobile populations. PSI will be using existing mobile units to extend access to HIV, TB and STI clinical services for hard to reach mobile populations.
