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.
Local Voices
This is an ongoing activity from COP06. The partner has received 100% of its COP06 funding, and is on track according to set work plan/targets. This activity is linked to the AIDS Resource Center (ARC) AB-focused Prevention (5753).
The FY07 program will build on our FY06 Local Voices project targeting local print and radio journalists. The Local Voices program aims to make socially responsible HIV/AIDS coverage a normal part of news and information programming. Reaching Ethiopians through local media will promote the success of HIV/create a more supportive, enabling environment for HIV prevention, care and treatment efforts to succeed. The proposed activities for the COP07 include both new and follow-on training for journalists to enable them to accurately cover complex topics such as ART, OVC, HIV/AIDS Prevention and CT. All trainings and follow up support will be held at the JHUCCP ARC/Internews Local Voices facility in Addis.
In FY07 the project will continue to provide training and support to media in areas outside of Addis, including Adam (Oromiya), Awassa (Southern-SNNPR), Assosa (Benshangul Gumuz), Bahir Dar (Amhara), Dire Dawa, and Mekele (Tigray) by bringing more participants to the Addis facilities for training. In addition, Addis print and radio journalists who have already undergone training and are performing well will be eligible for travel and mentoring trips to investigate and report on the epidemic in other regions of the country.
A major obstacle to combating HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia continues to be the imbalance of power relationships between men and women, as well as social factors such as women's economic dependency and lack of access to education. In working with media outlets, Local Voices will seek to ensure that women's issues and concerns are being effectively addressed in their daily news and programming.
At the same time, the civil society groups that emphasize women's concerns and challenges - from income generation to legal status -- need to add their voices to the public dialogue if any real change is to happen for women in Ethiopia. Women's NGOs typically lack access to media and publicity, and lack the know-how for communicating their messages effectively. The project will continue to work with these NGOs, as well as the local AIDS NGOs, to assist them with more effective media outreach. Training will incorporate the staging of media events to generate press coverage.
Local Voices activities will continue to focus on key HIV/AIDS topics including stigma and discrimination. The media messages will foster positive attitudes towards and increased utilization of different HIV/AIDS services.
Local Voices will continue its collaboration and co-location with the AIDS Resource Center (ARC) to maximize resources and effectiveness.
Specific activities to be accomplished in FY07 are: 1) In-studio training and follow-on support for ten "new hire" radio journalists from Addis Ababa to expand and improve reporting on HIV/AIDS (across PEPFAR thematic areas). 2) In-studio training and follow-on support for ten more radio journalists from outside of Addis to expand and improve reporting on HIV/AIDS (across PEPFAR thematic areas). 3) Two in-studio training sessions for eight radio journalists each on ART issues and Stigma/Discrimination - journalists to be selected previous from reporting courses. This will result in six to 18 news/feature stories aired on OVC and Stigma on radio stations inside and outside of Addis. 4) One week-long training session on gender issues for six talk show hosts and DJs to result in a minimum of five talk shows on women and HIV. 5) Continuous mentoring of six selected radio and six selected print journalists with at least one session per month for each individual, to result in 12 stories per month being aired or printed. 6) Continuous mentoring of the leading Addis Ababa talk show host to create a showcase call-in show for airing public debate on HIV/AIDS issues. 7) Training session and continuous mentoring for Pro Pride HIV radio program. 8) On-site follow-up to 16 radio journalists to produce radio features and talk shows on
Stigma & ART. 9) Follow-up training sessions for 6 FY06 trained print journalists on Discrimination/human rights and HIV issues, resulting in six features targeted at policy makers. 10) Two Mentoring tours one each for three print and three radio journalists to include travel to one or two cities outside of Addis for in depth reporting on HIV, to result in at least six major feature stories for radio/print. 11) A one-week training course in HIV/AIDS reporting for eight non-health specialist radio journalists to make the connection between the epidemic and other areas of social activity.. 12) Ten equipment grants to radio journalists for digital recorders. 13) Ten travel grants to enable Addis based journalists to cover aspects of the epidemic elsewhere in Ethiopia. 14) Further workshops for NGOs on outreach through media, including a workshop on women's NGOs. 15) Host an executive lunch for media outlet managers, owners, and editors to sensitize them to the need for effective coverage of HIV/AIDS and their critical role in confronting the epidemic. 16) Stage monthly roundtables to introduce key policy makers to the media and stimulate accurate reporting. 17) Engage in curriculum development with the Schools of Journalism in two tertiary institutions (Unity College & AA University) to include HIV/AIDS reporting workshops for all students. 18) Continue editorial and technical support for JHU CCP/ARC audio diary programs with weekly mentoring sessions.
