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.
The overall goal of Ethiopian Sustainable Tourism Alliance (ESTA) is to improve HIV/AIDS prevention and support services in ESTA Community Conservation Areas in 15 woredas (Oromia and SNNPR regions). These areas are creating ecotourism opportunities to attract business to the area that will affect 80,000 beneficiaries. The expansion of tourist activity increases the risk of HIV/AIDS due to increased commerce and interaction with urban areas where HIV/AIDS prevalence is higher. Thus, the program incorporates a strong HIV/AIDS care and support social segment to increase economic opportunities for PLWHA and households affected by HIV/AIDS. This builds on previous activities that included HIV/AIDS awareness, decreased stigma and discrimination, and increased VCT services and referrals in these areas.Specific objectives include: providing need-based capacity building in HIV/AIDS care and support to selected Community Level Implementing Partners (CLIPs), improving referrals and linkages to existing HIV/AIDS services, and increasing income opportunities and resilience of households affected by HIV/AIDS, with an emphasis on PLWHA and OVC and their caretakers. Economic strengthening activities in this project preferentially target PLWHA, OVC caretakers, and young adolescents in order to assist these populations to attain viable sources of income and address cross-cutting areas highlighted in PEPFAR, GHI, GCC and FtF Initiatives.In order to effectively monitor and evaluate the progress of this program, a KAP assessment was conducted in 2010. The program was adapted to the results of the KAP and it informed the M&E system that reports data quarterly.
The HIV/AIDS Component of ESTA will focus on adult care and support services at both health facility and community levels within the target areas. Services will be delivered through workplace and community volunteers recruited and trained by CBOs selected and managed by CLIPs. Volunteers will be trained in basic palliative care and will provide basic adult care and support services to the beneficiaries. In addition, the program will provide economic opportunities for PLWHA and OVC caretakers, who focus on the tourism value chain. This will include skills trainings and support to individuals to start small businesses linked to ecotourism activities implemented at the community level to promote sustainability and leverage existing resources to improve livelihoods and food security for PLWHA and OVC and their caretakers. Previous activities in HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention activities have significantly reduced stigma and discrimination in these communities, creating an enabling environment in these communities where PLWHA, OVC and their caretakers have greater access to income-generating activities. In order to further minimize stigma and discrimination. PLWHA will continue to be actively involved in all aspects of the program.Recognizing that PLWHA need more than just income generation, this program specifically links with other HIV services and implementers working in the target area. Last year, a service delivery map was created to inform linkages between HIV/AIDS programs. The information from this map will be disseminated among volunteers and used to improve linkages with prevention, treatment, income generating activities (IGAs), sexual and reproductive health, nutrition, PLWHA support groups, social, spiritual, and legal services. This map and other standardized tools align the program with other programs in the target areas and ensure provision of quality services throughout Ethiopia.A baseline needs assessment was conducted to estimate the targeted populations and their care and support needs. An M&E system was designed and implemented to ensure provision of quality care and support services and monitored regularly by staff through review of reports, supervision visits and review meetings.
