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
The International Labor Organization/U.S. Department of Labor (ILO/USDOL) Project collaborates with partners including government ministries, private sectors and non- governmental organizations. The role of these partnerships range from advisory board membership that gives policy direction to the project, building capacity to design implement, monitor and evaluate HIV and AIDS workplace programs, using the ILO Code of Practice on HIV and AIDS in the Place of Work to fight stigma and discrimination, and mobilizing workers to access HIV testing, STI care, and male circumcision services.
Thirty four enterprises are currently supported by the ILO/USDOL project with a signed Memorandum of Cooperation, dedicated trained HIV/AIDS Focal Points and functional HIV/AIDS Committees. The project will be expanded to the public sector and 17 new workplaces.
The main goal of this project is to overcome discrimination, change behavior and refer increasing numbers of workers to HIV-related services, including HTC, PMTCT, male circumcision, anti-retroviral therapy, and treatment for TB and sexually transmitted infections. A social and behavior change communication (SBCC) strategy has been developed for all sectors targeted by the project and an HIV workplace program is implemented in each partner enterprise taking into account the gender and age of the workforce targeted. The ILO/USDOL partnership contributes to a coordinated and comprehensive approach to sexual prevention using social and behavioral change communication, which is a key intervention area of the PEPFAR Swaziland's Partnership Framework. This public-private partnership enables companies, and the surrounding communities, to address the epidemic at a grass roots level through prevention and the reduction of stigma and discrimination. The project will allow enterprises to continue receiving technical support to develop their HIV workplace policy, SBCC strategy and training activities.
Baseline data have been collected for each target sector. An impact assessment will be conducted to ascertain improved knowledge, change of attitudes and risk behaviors among the workers targeted in enterprises where behavior changes strategies have been fully implemented. Qualitative and qualitative baseline data will be collected to inform the development of the behavior change strategies to assess the impact of the interventions. One M & E officer will be recruited to oversee the baseline and impact data collection and will help the partner enterprises in refining their monitoring system. (I thought ILO already had an M&E officer) Specific tools will be developed to document better referral made to HTC facilities taking into account confidentially imperatives of particular importance in workplace settings.
Strategies to enhance sustainability have also been put in place. Key members of employers and workers' organization as well as labor inspectors will continue to receive training with the objective of integrating HIV in their on-going activities. These are designed to promote replication to a greater number of enterprises/workplaces over time
To support strategic information, ILO/USDOL will accomplish the following:
Recruit M & E officer
Conduct an impact survey in partner enterprises that have been implementing the project for more than three years.
Conduct a baseline survey and formative assessment in new workplaces.
Revise performance monitoring plan to be in line with new indicators.
Develop new M&E tools and provide technical support to partner enterprises to refine their M&E systems
The DOL/ILO project will continue to support the enforcement of the multisectoral HIV/AIDS National Policy, which has now been approved by Parliament. This will include the development of HIV/AIDS workplace guidelines to support Ministry of Enterprise & Employment, Department of Labor, the Federation of Swaziland Employers & Chamber of Commerce, the Swaziland Federation of Trade Unions, the Swaziland Federation of Labor as well as all other Project Advisory Board (PAB) members in the implementation of the national policy. Activities will include: training of labor inspectors; establishing HIV/AIDS committees in new partner workplaces to coordinate the HIV responses and mainstream HIV in current activities of the workplaces (workplace health facilities, occupational safety and health structures): providing technical assistance to the HIV/AIDS workplace committees for the development of HIV/AIDS workplace policies in line with the ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the World of Work; reviewing existing HIV/AIDS workplace policies at the enterprises and national level in light of the adoption of the new labor standard on HIV/AIDS and the World of Work in June 2010; and monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the workplace policies.
Under this budget code, ILO/USDOL will conduct/support the following activities:
Training HIV/AIDS workplace committee members and peer educators from the public sector in the implementation of an SBCC program for the workplace.
Training of master trainers for peer educators in workplaces from the public sector and private sectors to promote the sustainability of the interventions
Development of tailor-made SBCC materials for specific target groups of workers taking into account age, gender, attitudes and practices. Dissemination of these materials through the most effective channels for a significant period of time to sustain behavior change.
Training of government officials and key members of employer and worker organizations in the implementation of SBCC strategies and program and policies to create an enabling environment for behavior change
For other prevention, ILO/USDOL will conduct/support the following activities
Training of peer educators in condom promotion and distribution
Development of tailor-made SBCC materials for specific target groups of workers taking into account age, gender, attitudes and risk behavior (transactional sexual relationships, use of alcohol). Disseminate these materials through the most effective channels during a significant period of time to sustain behavior change.
