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.

ACTIVITY REMAINS UNCHANGED FROM FY2008.
The proposed budget increase for COP09 is necessary to maintain the COP08 activities with 10 % increase
in targets.
COP08 NARRATIVE
The Urban Nutrition Program for HIV-Affected Children and Women is an urban gardening program in high
HIV/AIDS prevalence areas supporting low-income women and children. This activity teaches simple micro-
irrigation and gardening techniques at household level that reduce land, labor and water needs to increase
food production for poor household in selected urban areas of Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar, Gondar, Dessie,
Adama and Awassa. The project aims to improve the food security status of households affected by or living
with HIV/AIDS. As a result of training, beneficiaries have acquired skills enabling them to increase
production, family income through sales of surplus, and alternative livelihoods.
The drip irrigation systems use 50% less water and labor than normal gardens, allowing the sick and elderly
to participate. Beneficiaries receive drip irrigation kits, training in gardening, how to use/maintain the kits
and are eventually linked to markets for sale of surplus produce. Beneficiaries, especially OVC and their
guardians living with HIV/AIDS, have conveyed an improved sense of self-reliance and connectedness with
the community as a result of urban gardening. The activity helps minimize stigma and discrimination and
leads to social acceptance of the children and the female household heads. The provision of alternative
income is particularly attractive to women engaging in transactional sex to survive as well as former
commercial sex workers. Both represent a significant segment of program participants. The program
envisions expanding in needy communities throughout Ethiopia to address HIV prevention and care,
especially in terms of nutrition and income security. The possible obstacle for expansion of the program
could be availability of land and water as these are always scarce resources. Average household income
generated by urban gardening is sufficient to cover monthly housing rent.
This activity had reached 10,482 of the targeted 11,000 beneficiaries as of June 2007 and is on track to
achieve the target by the end of September 2007. Household garden activities have provided not only food
but also income for urban gardeners. Approximately 60% of produce is consumed and the remainder is
sold, providing 60 Birr (about $7) per month on average to participating households. DAI coordinates the
Urban Nutrition Gardening Program with a network of NGO operating in the same target areas with the
same populations to achieve comprehensive services. Partnerships are established with 22 sub-grantees in
all program areas with successful HIV/AIDS care networks, and/or successful urban agricultural and market
development activities in the target communities. The program has a respected presence in high HIV
prevalence areas and serves as a referral entry point within the PEPFAR network of HIV/AIDS prevention,
care, and treatment.
In COP08, the activity will increase outreach to households with HIV/AIDS-affected orphans and vulnerable
children, particularly female and orphan-headed households and those who engage in transactional sex.
Expanded partnerships with other PEPFAR and non-USG programs will help improve outreach to OVC.
COP08 activities will include the identification of new OVC households through linkages with existing
PEPFAR OVC programs and health facilities. DAI will continue to extend technical assistance, training, and
capacity building to community partners in drip irrigation and farming. DAI will help local NGO partners to
deliver training to target households and communities (areas of training and technical support to cover site
selection, installation, use and maintenance of drip irrigation systems, and gardening skills). DAI will
continue to advocate and coordinate with the government at national, regional and local levels as well as
private landlords concerning access and use of urban land for long-term sustainability. The program will
also identify and develop markets to support income-generation so beneficiaries are able to sell their
produce.
This activity will continue to collaborate with other PEPFAR Ethiopia partners working in OVC care and
support, ART and PMTCT to expand referrals. ANC 6th report, Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey
(EDHS) 2005 and USG Ethiopia mapping data will be used to direct OVC services in areas of highest
prevalence. Sub-grants in the gardening program are for one year. The local NGO will continue to provide
technical support to households after the DAI direct support ends. Beneficiaries are trained to be self-
supporting after twelve months. They will produce vegetables by themselves with ongoing technical support
from the GOE Agriculture Department and local NGO extension staff.
