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: 2010 2011
This project will both strengthen community coordination mechanisms and OVC households. The community structure consists of six Woreda OVC Committees providing leadership and coordination of activities and 30 OVC Support Groups. These structures identify OVC, develop individualized plans of needs-based care for each child and ensure coordination of services from partner agencies. The focus is building the capacity of this mechanism to utilize existing resources to ensure efficiency and sustainability.
Service provision at the household level falls under seven sectors, Education (school materials/uniforms to all OVC and tutorial classes); Healthcare (referral and support for OVC and specific caregivers to access services and prevention training); Food and Nutrition (referral of malnourished children, training of model caregivers and food assistance to the most vulnerable OVC); Psychosocial support (monthly events, home visiting, and life skills training); Legal (child protection training); Shelter/protection (temporary shelter for street children in Dilla and Yirgachefe); Livelihoods (vocation training and start-up kits for OVC ages 15-17 and caregiver self-help groups trained and assisted to access micro-finance).
SP Ethiopia has implemented this current OVC project since 2008. The project is reaching the target number of beneficiaries with all services apart from legal assistance. Although legal assistance is much needed by OVC households, due to a change in Ethiopian law, NGOs are prohibited from engaging in legal assistance or advocacy. To overcome this challenge the project has partnered with local law enforcement offices, building their capacity to address issues of protection among OVC.
The Quality Assurance Manager will ensure this project strives for excellence with sector officers providing quality best practice programming adhering to international standards. The project will be overseen in-country by the Regional Program Manager. In addition the OVC Africa Technical Advisor will provide support to the project.
