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.
Years of mechanism: 2008 2009
Community School Partnership Program
ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY2008:
The Community Schools Partnership Program (CSPP) in education and health will build upon existing
school organizational management systems, mainly Parent-Teacher Associations (PTA) in close
coordination with community health promoters or institutions, to enhance critical linkages between and
among the primary education and healthcare systems. Schools will be the focal point for these linkages and
all development efforts targeting school children and the general community. CSPP will use a child-to-child
approach and will strengthen and mobilize community groups in the education and health sectors for
improved education and health services. CSPP will promote girls' education as a central element for
improved social development.
Through the CSPP, communities will be empowered to participate in the establishment of key health
services at schools, including potable water, latrines and HIV/AIDS prevention education. The HIV-
prevention education curriculum will use PEPFAR partners' existing age-appropriate materials. The schools,
wherever possible, will link with primary healthcare sites and services to enable them to benefit from
services and initiatives such as immunization, vitamin A supplements, HIV counseling and testing, and other
health or HIV/AIDS services . The CSPP will provide technical and managerial support to 1,800 primary
schools and communities in Afar, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella, Somali and the peripheries of Amhara,
Oromiya, Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples regions, and Tigray. Approximately 900,000 students
and 200,000 households, served by the 1,800 target schools, will benefit from the program. The CSPP will
mainly focus on pastoralist communities.
Community members, PTA, school anti-AIDS clubs, etc. have great potential to make a difference by
identifying vulnerable children and reducing and following-up cases of rape, abuse, early marriage, and
neglect. PTA can mobilize communities to support and enable orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) to
remain in school. PTA, teachers, and community leaders will set up a committee and identify OVC at
schools. They will mobilize the community and raise additional funds to enroll and retain OVC at schools.
This approach has been successful at CASCAID schools and the CSPP schools will emulate this in the
activity. They can compete for the "Fight Against HIV/AIDS" award for soliciting resources to fight HIV/AIDS
and help those who are HIV-affected.
Girls' Education Advisory Committees (GEAC) have influenced parents, religious, and community leaders'
views on harmful traditional practices. GEAC also help bring men who abuse female students to trial; invite
HIV/AIDS Women's Associations to school to provide guidance on HIV/AIDS prevention and control and
stigma and discrimination against HIV-positive people. Further, GEAC can mobilize young people against
the epidemic and change risky behaviors of youth through discussions, videos, drama and role plays,
songs, poems, debates, and sports activities.
The schools to be incorporated in this project will be different from the 2002-2007 Community-Government
Partnership Program target schools, Positive Change: Children, Communities and Care (PC3), and
Communities and Schools for Children Affected by HIV/AIDS (CASCAID) schools. The main goal will be to
improve coordination of education and primary healthcare at school and community levels to increase use
of key health services and products, including HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment, immunization,
family planning and essential nutrition information as well as improved access to potable water, sanitation
and hygiene services.
This activity directly contributes to wraparound activities with education which is the most effective means of
HIV prevention among youth to reduce risks of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STI). It also
addresses gender issues and encourages youth to learn their HIV status and provide confidential voluntary
counseling and testing (VCT).
The program directly addresses wraparound activity with education and USAID/Ethiopia Basic Education
Program Community-School Partnership program building the capacity of PTA, GEAC and communities,
which will be in place later this year. It leverages resources with HCP to use materials appropriate to youth
through activities such as Beacon Schools, Sports for Life and the Youth Action Kit; and Y-Choices of Pact.
It will also link with CASCAID and PC3 to provide support to OVC
All targeted beneficiaries are registered children and youth in the 1,800 participating CSPP schools. PTA,
GEAC and communities will be also targeted working in these schools.
Training provided to PTA, GEAC, and community leaders, including religious leaders, and mobilized to be
empowered to take actions on harmful practices that are risky behaviors of HIV. Teachers will also be
trained with basic standard HIV/AIDS curricula. The activity will work with parents and guardians to help
improve their ability to communicate openly with children and youth regarding sexual behavior and
reproductive health issues. Community-level peer outreach and curricula-based programs for school and to
help will expand access to prevention education to address gender issues , including addressing male
norms and increasing gender equity, reduction of gender violence, and OVC. Linkages will be formed with
reproductive health/family planning awareness, child survival activities such immunization, malaria
prevention activities, and health education with ward health extension workers and local health institutions.
