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.

Tourism and HIV Prevention
ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY2008
COP08 ACTIVITY NARRATIVE
This is a new FY08 activity. There is a great opportunity for tourism to contribute to economic development
in Ethiopia. The tourism sector has recently been elevated to a high priority by the Government of Ethiopia
(GOE). This is particularly timely in view of recent travel promotion and the Ethiopian Millennium
celebrations. A mix of historical, cultural, and natural attractions exist in Ethiopia which can be enhanced
and more sustainably managed, thereby contributing to poverty reduction and economic development.
Domestic and foreign investors have recently established several "eco-lodges" in different areas of tourist
interest and the World Bank is planning a new loan focusing on cultural heritage tourism.
Based upon its successful programs globally, USAID will design and implement a three-year, $10 million
tourism-development activity that will provide targeted support to promote sustainable ecotourism. This will
result in significantly increased private investment, jobs creation, and foreign-exchange earnings, as well as
eco-system protection. Increased numbers of tourists will benefit other economic sectors (i.e., leather,
textile, handicrafts, and agriculture) and enhance livelihoods of vulnerable populations and promote
enterprise, exports and trade. Ecotourism development will also contribute to improving Ethiopia's overall
image and investment climate for both foreign and domestic investors.
The development of tourism will result in increased economic activity and employment in concentrated
urban and rural areas. It will bring diverse groups into contact with each other and encourage relocation and
travel of large numbers of people. With this increased employment and migration of workers and visitors
comes higher risk of exposure to HIV/AIDS. Employers in the tourism enterprises do not normally provide
workplace health education. Through this project, communities and employees will be encouraged to seek
antenatal services, voluntary counseling and testing (VCT), and facility-based deliveries. They will also
receive HIV-prevention messages that focus on abstinence, fidelity, partner reduction, alcohol use, and
gender-based violence through information-education-communication print materials, mobile video
screenings, interpersonal communications, and community drama. The need to shift social norms,
particularly male behaviors, will be emphasized through community events.
PEPFAR Ethiopia proposes to contribute $500,000 of Global HIV/AIDS Initiative funds ($250,000 in HVAB
and $250,000 in HVOP) into the above mechanism funded through USAID/Ethiopia's Office of Business,
Environment, Agriculture and Trade (BEAT) to provide HIV/AIDS prevention activities to businesses and
other groups associated with tourism development. PEPFAR Ethiopia is expected to leverage $10,000,000
of Development Assistance funding and other partner funding, as well as technical expertise from the BEAT
Office, to collaborate on the HIV/AIDS prevention activities. Prevention activities will include risk
assessments for the assisted tourism areas, workplace HIV/AIDS prevention education for employees for
tourism and related businesses in the target areas and use of media tools to educate visitors and others
associated with the tourism industry. Staff will encourage target enterprises to contribute financially to the
HIV/AIDS prevention activities. Educators will coordinate to the maximum extent possible with local public
health workers. They will maximize use of pre-existing educational materials. The activity will provide
HIV/AIDS education to over 30,000 employees/community members and train an anticipated 1,500
individuals. The specific geographical sites and natural parks will be selected during the project design. The
recipient will define how individuals are counted as reached in the program proposal description.
