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 is a continuing activity from FY07.
The YMCA's AIDS Volunteerism and Community Engagement (ADVANCE) Program began in late FY07
with Plus-Up funding. ADVANCE is a three-year Global Development Alliance (GDA) program that aims to
improve the HIV-prevention knowledge and practices of youth and young adults. YMCA will leverage
matching resources at a ratio of two to one. USAID provided $500,000 in funding in FY07 with YMCA
matching it with $1,000,000. The YMCA of the USA will provide technical assistance and support to both the
YMCA and YWCA of Ethiopia to ensure long term sustainability of the program and activities.
With FY07 funding, YMCA anticipates reaching 10,000 young people ages 10-29 with peer education and
community outreach activities in five target urban communities in Addis Ababa and Adama where YMCA of
Ethiopia operates. The program aims to improve youth and young adult's knowledge of HIV and increase
their access to HIV testing and other health services. The program will recruit and train over 500 volunteer
peer educators during the first year of the program (100 peer educators per YMCA branch). The peer
educators will be segmented into two age groups 10-16 and 17-29. The younger group will be trained on
delivering AB messages while the older group of volunteers will provide comprehensive ABC messages.
Their primary function will be to educate other community youth and young adults on HIV transmission, risk
behaviors, and how to protect themselves. The peer educators will use innovative, youth-friendly service
delivery methodologies to attract and educate large numbers of youth and young adults. These include
school presentations, sports, recreation, arts, music, anti-stigma campaigns and local mass-media
coverage of HIV issues. YMCA will work with existing PEPFAR prevention partners such as JHU/HCP and
MARCH to learn about and integrate existing IEC materials into the YMCA program.
The YMCA's approach to health and HIV education strongly emphasizes building core values, life skills,
gender sensitivity, appreciation for diversity and access to accurate information and advice so that youth
and young adults are equipped to make the right decisions. To ensure that peer educators are successful,
the YMCA will also incorporate a strategy that simultaneously strengthens parent and adult education,
community alliances and medical referral services. The YMCA will set up a voucher system with reputable
hospitals and clinics to help youth and young adults obtain appropriate, affordable medical services,
including HIV counseling and testing.
In FY08, YMCA USA will continue to provide technical assistance to the YMCA and YWCA of Ethiopia on
HIV-prevention education for youth, their parents, and community members. YMCA aims to reach a total of
15,000 young people with AB messages and another 15,000 individuals with ABC prevention programming.
The program will also train 1,000 peer educators to deliver AB prevention messages about abstinence and
fidelity. As the leading youth organization in the world, the YMCA believes that youth development initiatives
are successful when genuine relationships with young people are nurtured. These relationships are
enhanced through the involvement of young people in the entire project cycle, from the conceptualization
though the implementation of the program. The YMCA and YWCA place emphasis on peer education,
practical learning opportunities, gender sensitivity, respect for diversity and leadership in order to build a
strong sense of ownership and empowerment amongst youth. It is also vital to involve parents and
business, government, religious and NGO leaders to positively improve youth-adult dialogue and
cooperation. This assets-building approach of YMCA life skills, leadership, and service learning creates the
building blocks for holistic youth development.
YMCA AIDS Volunteerism and Community Engagement
The YMCA's AIDS Volunteerism and Community Engagement (ADVANCE) Program began in late FY2007
matching resources at a ratio of two to one. USAID provided $500,000 in funding in FY07, with a YMCA
match of $1,000,000. The YMCA of the USA will provide technical assistance and support to both the
YMCA and YWCA of Ethiopia to ensure long-term sustainability of the program and activities.
The ADVANCE program will develop, strengthen, and scale up successful YMCA youth program practices
in order to improve the HIV/AIDS knowledge and practices of 50,000 youth and young adults. It has two
prevention objectives: 1) Improve HIV-prevention knowledge and practices of at least 50,000 youth and
young adults between the ages of 10-29 in the five target communities through innovative, age-appropriate,
peer education and community outreach activities and 2) Strengthen cooperation between youth, parents,
YMCAs, schools, businesses, government and faith-based groups in the five target communities to improve
HIV education and increase youth and young adult access to vital medical and counseling support services.
These activities will take place in five underserved urban communities in Addis Ababa and Adama. During
the first year of the three-year project, YMCA will aim to reach 10,000 youth and young adults with
comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention information and behavior change communication activities. YMCA will
work with existing PEPFAR prevention partners such as Johns Hopkins University/ Health Communications
Partnership and MARCH (Modeling and Reinforcement to Combat HIV/AIDS) to learn about and integrate
existing information-education-communication materials into the YMCA program.
In the HIV-prevention program component, the YMCA and YWCA will recruit and train 100 volunteer peer
educators per branch (500 in total). The peer educators will be segmented into two age groups A) 10-16
and B) 17-29. Their primary function will be to educate other community youth and young adults on basic
HIV prevention and care. The peer educators will use innovative, youth-friendly, service delivery
methodologies to attract and educate large numbers of youth and young adults. These include school
presentations, sports, recreation, arts, music, anti-stigma campaigns, and local mass-media coverage of
HIV issues.
The YMCA's approach to health education strongly emphasizes building core values, life skills, gender
sensitivity, appreciation for diversity, and access to accurate information and advice so that youth and
young adults are equipped to make the right decisions. To ensure that peer educators are successful the
YMCA will also incorporate a strategy that simultaneously strengthens parental and adult education,
hospitals and clinics to help youth and young adults obtain appropriate, affordable medical testing,
counseling and treatment. YMCA will focus comprehensive HIV-prevention messages and information for
50% of its target populations, for a total number of 15,000 older youth between the ages of 17-29 reached.
The program will train 1,000 peer educators in providing ABC prevention messages, including information
about partner reduction, alcohol, and correct, consistent condom use.
This is a continuing activity from FY07, related to YMCA activities in HVOP and HVAB.
with Plus-Up funding. ADVANCE is a three year Global Development Alliance (GDA) program that aims to
The ADVANCE Program will develop, strengthen and scale-up successful YMCA youth program practices
in order to improve HIV/AIDS knowledge and practices among youth and young adults, as well as care for
children and families affected by HIV/AIDS. The ADVANCE Program has two OVC objectives: 1) Provide
vital recreational, educational, and counseling services to at least 5,000 orphans and vulnerable children
affected by HIV/AIDS in the target communities, and 2) Strengthen youth, young adult and community
support for orphans and vulnerable children through volunteer service projects. The YMCA and YWCA will
work with local schools, community leaders, and social service agencies to identify orphans and vulnerable
children in need of educational, recreational and psychosocial support. The vulnerable children will include
street children in Addis Ababa and Adama. In COP08, YMCA and YWCA of Ethiopia will provide support to
over 4,000 OVC in Addis Ababa and Oromiya, at least 50% of whom are young, vulnerable girls.
The OVC will receive free YMCA and YWCA memberships in the target communities and be immediately
integrated into other YMCA and YWCA youth education and recreation programs to break down stigma and
discrimination. OVC will also participant in the HIV-prevention education activities. Some of the peer
educators will be OVC. The YMCA and YWCA will also work with other community-based organizations
including schools, hospitals and clinics, faith-based organizations, NGO and local businesses to mobilize
financial and material support for the educational, medical and psychosocial needs of OVC. The YMCA and
YWCA will organize community level anti-sigma campaigns to raise awareness and support for OVC. These
campaigns and YMCA/YWCA networking efforts will develop new community level collaborations to provide
the OVC with additional psychosocial counseling, family reunification, foster care and educational
opportunities to develop their self-esteem, social skills, and confidence. In larger YMCA branches like Addis
Ketema in Addis Ababa, the YMCA will also provide primary education and meals to OVC in its primary
school. In other branches the YMCA and YWCA will work with the local schools, health facilities and faith-
based organization to mobilize educational and psychosocial support and charitable assistance (school
supplies and clothes) for the OVC. Through the ADVANCE program, the YMCA will be able to strengthen
the capacity of the local branches to offer care and programs to OVC in a more sustainable way.
The YMCA and YWCA of Ethiopia will also organize service learning activities to educate and empower
young people to play a positive role in mobilizing compassion and support for OVC. This will be achieved
through volunteer service learning activities implemented by the youth and young adult peer educators in
collaboration with local government, business, NGO and religious leaders. When possible, other local
partners receiving PEPFAR funding will encouraged to participate in community mobilization efforts. The
YMCA's approach to health and HIV education strongly emphasizes building core values, life skills, gender
sensitivity, appreciation for diversity and access to accurate information and advice so that youth and young
adults are equipped to make the right decisions.
