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.
Mobilizing, Equipping and Training Youth Program (ABY Track 1)
This is an ongoing Track 1-funded AB only activity in prevention. Under this activity 20,915 individuals have been reached with community outreach HIV/AIDS prevention programs that promote abstinence and/or being faithful in the months April, May, and June of 2006. The activity is progressing well on track.
Samaritan's Purse (SP) implements the Mobilizing, Equipping, and Training (MET) program in Gedeo zone, Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region. The SP MET program goal is to help youth make healthy choices that prevent new HIV infections, especially through abstinence from sex until marriage and faithfulness within marriage. To achieve this goal, SP MET program mobilizes churches and communities to action in their spheres of influence by utilizing moral instruction for primary behavior change, and focusing on abstinence until marriage, faithfulness within marriage and increasing secondary abstinence, as well as other healthy behavior such as avoiding alcohol and drug use. The MET approach builds and expands the capacity of churches, schools, and communities to help youth choose healthy behaviors as a norm.
In FY07, the SP team will train 1435 individuals to provide HIV/AIDS prevention programs that promote abstinence until marriage for unmarried youth and faithfulness for married youth. Selected trainees are church and community leaders who already have a group of youth that meets regularly in churches, anti-AIDS clubs, community youth centers, or other locations. All trainees are volunteers.
The trainees will return to the youth serving groups where they lead and pass along messages about stigma, VCT, facts about HIV and AIDS, and abstinence and faithfulness based prevention. The trainees will reach 35,875 individuals through these community outreach programs.
Each trainee who reaches out to youth in his or her organization has the potential to continue in a training cycle that will allow them to reach youth with life skills and mentoring. Those who remain committed to the message of healthy choices for young people will join Community-based Volunteer Teams (CBVT). SP will provide administrative support and toolkits for starting additional activities for young people. SP team members will track the progress of each team. By the end of FY07, 40 CBVT will operate in Gedeo zone. All members and leaders will have completed SP's MET training cycle and will be responsible for sustaining abstinence and faithfulness focused prevention messages for youth.
All the activities listed above began in FY06, and will continue throughout FY07. In addition, SP intends to implement media promotion through posters and billboards throughout Gedeo zone. Other media strategies for abstinence until marriage and faithfulness within marriage will also be considered.
