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
Salesian Missions, in partnership with Project Concern International, proposed to implement the CARING FOR OUR YOUTH (CARING) Project in Ethiopia to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia by increasing access to youth orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS, and providing holistic care, community reintegration, and support for 60,000 orphans, street youth and children who have been made vulnerable due to HIV/AIDS.
The goal of the CARING Project is to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia, and its purpose is to help HIV/AIDS-affected children and adolescents grow and develop into healthy, stable and productive members of society. To that end, SDBE and PCI, along with their implementing partners will work towards the Strategic Objective (SO) of improved quality of life for children and youth made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS and their families in Addis Ababa, Makele, Adigrat, Zway, and Debre Zeit, Ethiopia.
To achieve this the CARING Project will 1) increase the number of OVC with their essential needs for shelter and care met by reintegrating OVC with extended or foster families or their home communities, and by building the capacity of the SDBE residential rehabilitation program for street children and youth; 2) increase the number of OVC receiving formal and non-formal educational and development opportunities by expanding SDBE capacity to provide opportunities for formal and supplementary education, life skills workshops, and recreational and sports activities, and by providing assistance with school fees, uniforms, and supplies to effectively reduce barriers to attending school; 3) improve the economic status among households caring for OVC by providing older OVC with opportunities for vocational/technical training, and by empowering OVC caretakers, especially women through a savings-based economic self-help group approach; 4) increase access to critical, community-based OVC support services, specifically health/medical care, nutritional support, legal support, and psychosocial support through the CARING Small Grants Program for local CBOs (Community Based Organizations) and FBOs( Faith Based Organizations) providing crucial community-based OVC support services; and 5) increase the practice of abstinence and faithfulness behaviors among targeted youth by training youth animators and facilitating youth HIV prevention outreach events and workshops based on the successful Salisians Mission Life Choices methodology.
The presence of Salesians of Don Bosco in Ethiopia in the target communities will enable CARING Project management to rapidly mobilize and launch start-up activities such as hiring support staff, conducting the baseline survey, identifying and meeting with key stakeholders, and holding start-up workshops. To implement the CARING Small Grants Program (CSGP), PCI will provide intensive technical support and capacity building in small grants management to SDBE in the first two years so that SDBE can assume this responsibility by the third year of program implementation. This partnership will ensure proper capacity building and grant management for small, local organizations.
Salesian Mission and Salesians of Don Bosco have partnered with Project Concern International (PCI) to develop and implement the CARING Project. It will be staffed by local Salesian and local lay professionals in Ethiopia, and administered and managed by the Salesians of Don Bosco Project Development Office in Addis Ababa. The project will utilize the existing infrastructure of the Silesian's Project Development Office the ongoing orphans and vulnerable children programs, current and new social workers, youth animators, and community volunteers. Project Development Office, along with various local partners, will be responsible for day-to-day project implementation. Salesians of Don Bosco will also be responsible for overall project management and oversight. Salesian Mission's Office for International Programs will provide general oversight, technical expertise, mechanism for coordination of financial disbursements, and continued local capacity building to the Salesians of Don Bosco Ethiopia. PCI will provide additional technical advice to assist Salesians of Don Bosco Ethiopia to strengthen its organizational capacity to incorporate comprehensive OVC services; link with and strengthen the OVC service network; adapt the Life Choices curriculum (using model from South Africa) for the Ethiopian context; enhance older OVC and caretakers economic outlook through implementation of PCI's Self Help Groups (SHG) "Step Up" program; strengthen the OVC referral network; and provide overall M&E support and capacity building for this effort.
Salesians of Don Bosco Ethiopia has a well-established presence in 13 communities across Ethiopia, and serves over 50,000 youth through the Orphan Sponsorship and Reintegration Program; the Street Children Rehabilitation Program in Addis Ababa; primary and secondary schools; youth centers; and technical schools, including the Don Bosco Technical College in Makele. HIV/AIDS prevention education has been incorporated into the general health education curriculum taught in Salesian schools, and Salesians of Don Bosco Ethiopia continues to partner with the Catholic Secretariats at different dioceses to implement HIV/AIDS prevention training activities.
In addition to its considerable in-country experience, Salesians of Don Bosco Ethiopia will draw upon Salesian Mission experience implementing successful health programs in different settings that mainly focus on youth, orphans, street youth and other vulnerable youth, in addition to targeting parents, educators, and community leaders. These programs include: Love Matters, South Africa2001; Courage to Love, Peru2002; and Life Choices, Kenya, Tanzania & South Africa2005, which is a five-year PEPFAR Track 1 ABY Program that targets youth with the core messages of abstinence (A) and faithfulness (B) to prevent HIV infection.
