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.
This activity receives HVAB, HVOP and OVC funds in FY07.
Building on the OGAC guidance on abstinence, be faithful and condom use (ABC), PEPFAR Ethiopia is soliciting innovative ideas for reaching most at risk populations using evidence-based approaches. This activity will provide comprehensive HIV prevention programming support to local organizations in selected areas to address at risk youth, specifically older adolescents, at risk of participating in transactional sex. Furthermore, several small grants will be provided to local organizations to support ABC activities.
Based on a USG HIV Prevention/Sexual Transmission TA visit, several recommendations highlighted the need to utilize community outreach approaches to reach at risk groups and girls in Ethiopia. The needs of most-at-risk populations are heterogeneous, and therefore the USG will seek to engage more partners in order to support diverse approaches to meeting needs of these high-risk, yet diverse populations.
While the geographic focus of most prevention programs should remain on urban hubs and transport corridors, USG partners will also be supported to work with peri-urban and rural bridging populations.
These partners will prioritize interventions that address urban/rural transmission dynamics such as marketplaces, and targeted prevention to mobile/migrant workers and their families.
Girls in Ethiopia have been hard to reach with prevention programs due to cultural norms (leaving school earlier than boys due to family responsibility, marriage and working in the home while not at school). Specific programs need to be designed, both for in-school and out-of-school girls which are female only and supported by the family and community. Priority program areas include: (1) Addressing coercive sex and gender-based violence and rape against women, building referral networks to address OP services in urban areas and PEP delivery.; (2) Correct consistent condom use among commercial sex workers, their partners and clients; and (3) Addressing social norms on cross generational, transactional and coercive sexual relationship behaviors focused on males 25- 40. Materials used will be predominantly pre-existing unless significant gaps are identified.
Improving Access to Education for children orphaned due to HIV/AIDS This is an on-going activity from FY06. Linkages: This activity is linked to Save the Children USA's Positive Change: Children, Communities and Care (PC3) (5578) To date, World Learning has received 80% of FY06 funds and will receive the remaining 20% this month when schools reopen. The activity is on schedule per work plan. Similar to Save the Children's PC3 program (Positive Change: Children, Communities and Care), World Learning's education/HIV/AIDS program is strongly linked to the on-going USAID-funded Basic Education Strategic Objective (BESO) Community-Government Partnership Program (CGPP). The program builds on FY06 successes involving the work of PTA, Girls' Advisory Committees, community elders and kebele administrations to minimize stigma and discrimination and sensitize respective communities to accept HIV-affected orphaned and vulnerable children.
During FY07 5,000 children will be supported to continue their education in 100 schools. Community and other appropriate schools, serving orphans and vulnerable children due to HIV/AIDS, will be selected and strengthened through financial and material support. Support will be based on the specific needs of HIV/AIDS-affected orphans and vulnerable children in respective schools. The PTA, community members, local government administration and regional bureaus of education will work together to ensure that quality education is provided. The program will also complement the on-going PEPFAR-Ethiopia funded PC3 and the Beacon schools program initiative. In 2007, the education curriculum will specifically address the needs of vulnerable children.
OVC-focused school interventions will include provision of school kits, uniforms, book packs and school supplies, to provide a conducive learning environment. Orphans and vulnerable children due to HIV/AIDS will be linked to HIV prevention education, an existing part of the education curriculum, as well as to nearby health services. In addition to attending formal schools, the PTA will support OVC, particularly orphans due to HIV/AIDS, to receive tutorial support after work. The PTA will also arrange psychosocial support through the counseling and guidance program, with a special emphasis for HIV/AIDS-affected orphans. Efforts will be made to place out-of-school-children in skills training programs so that they might access future employment in petty trade activities.
The Girls' Advisory Committees (GAC) will advocate to the community, employers and the general public to improve the situation of children, particularly girls, orphaned due to AIDS. Advocacy efforts will raise awareness of the increased vulnerability of girls in many aspects of life. GAC will work to ensure that AIDS-affected and orphaned girls attend classes regularly and receive sufficient study and tutorial time after class, since they often lack sufficient study time at home due to work pressure. Additionally, the GAC will ensure that PTA and school communities host community dialogues around the importance of girls' education and keeping girls in school.
Building on strong existing school structures, the program will mobilize school communities to care for OVC at the community level. Core services including shelter and care, protection, health care, psychosocial support and education will be provided, and, as much as possible, the program will keep children within their home/community environment. School-supported wrap-around services, through PTA income generation activities, school gardening or links to the World Food Program (WFP) will provide food/nutrition support to schools as appropriate. In partnership with other PEPFAR Ethiopia OVC partners, World Learning will work with the new PEPFAR APS recipient to coordinate activities to achieve most efficient use of resources for OVC in the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence areas. This includes harmonization on indicators, reporting, and OVC standards of care in line with Government of Ethiopia national guidelines and policies and OGAC OVC Program Guidance, as well as achieving quality assurance in OVC programming. Data from the EDHS 2005 and the results of USG Ethiopia mapping will used to further inform geographic priority areas to increase reach in areas ranked highest for children affected by HIV/AIDS and with service availability to meet OVC comprehensive needs. WL's exit strategy will focus on building the capacities of the PTA, GAC, and the general school community as well as educating the public to enable them to effectively support the
OVC in their communities and schools.
PLUS UP FUNDING: the program focuses on scale-up of FY 2006 OVC care and support to increase coverage of the enormous needs of OVCs affected by HIV/AIDS. The FY 2006 World Learning technical support to OVCs through schools benefits only 10% OVCs identified. The overall objective is to provide psychosocial and nutritional support for 10,000 OVCs in 200 primary schools. This program provides a menu of essential quality services including nutrition, psychosocial support, health care, legal protection, life skills trainings and a system of referrals to ensure that OVC needs are not neglected. It involves a broad range of community partners in government, civil society and NGOs in an integrated set of services.
The GSM prime partner, World Learning for International Development, through their Leader award will assist USAID/Ethiopia in the solicitation, review, award, management and close-out of grants to local Ethiopian partners. The GSM Recipient will help implement the Emergency Plan by conducting a wide range of technical and administrative tasks to support the involvement of local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in HIV/AIDS prevention and care activities.
USAID anticipates GSM preparing soliciations that focus on providing OVC with educational and nutritional assistance, referral to health care services, and age-appropriate HIV prevention information by training caregivers and volunteers. Services will also address the psychosocial needs of HIV+ children through group association activities and individual counseling. All activities will have a focus on higher risk populations and vulnerable children. GSM will provide technical assistance and oversight for the new partners to ensure quality programming, gender consideration, monitoring and timely reporting.
