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: 2012 2013 2014
The goal of this program is to develop a Child-Sensitive Social Welfare System that fills social need gaps within households and/or family structures and communities through UNICEF. The outputs from this grant will be achieved through close coordination and collaboration with a separately funded USAID activity, the Ethiopia Highly Vulnerable Children (HVC) Program implemented by Pact International. Both activities share the same goal: to mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS for children through improved Ethiopian systems and structures.. This includes increasing highly vulnerable children access to education, healthcare, shelter, food and nutrition, psychosocial support, protection, and economic support. This is aligned with PF Goal II: To improve the quality of life and ensure the continued provision of quality OVC services. This mechanism will directly link with pillars 1 and 3 of the approved USAID/Ethiopia GHI strategy, increased access to health services and improved health systems. Activities will include developing a natl mgmt information system with better tracking of children, and improving institutional and technical capacities of GOE counterparts. With regards to geographic focus, this is primarily a federal-level initiative focusing on strengthening the policy framework. UNICEF will work directly with various GOE Ministries gradually transitioning the full responsibility of the program to the GOE over time. In addition to internal systems, UNICEF will form a steering committee chaired by the Ministry of Women, Youth and Children Affairs (MoWYCA), including representatives of various GOE agencies; the committee will be crucial to the monitoring and evaluation of the program. There is no plan to purchase or lease vehicles with these funds.
UNICEF is a Public International Organization (PIO). The goal of the Strengthening the Federal Level Response to Highly Vulnerable Ethiopian Children through the Development of a Child-Sensitive Social Welfare System program is to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS on children through improved Ethiopian systems and structures. This program compliments the Ethiopia Highly Vulnerable Children (HVC) program implemented by Pact International, which will focus on service delivery in the communities and regions. This program will operate primarily at the federal level in order to strengthen policies and build Government capacities. This program is in-line with the national PEPFAR OVC goals and priorities which aim to impact the community, regional and federal networks in order to strengthen government and civil society partnerships. This project will utilize a broad range of approaches for successfully achieving a strong family-focused and child-sensitive social welfare system. This will include active participation in developing policies, regulations and standards related to child-sensitive social welfare. Experts in the field of database creation and management information systems will provide support and expertise in setting up a national and coordinated system. UNICEF in collaboration with relevant Government of Ethiopia (GOE) partners will take advantage of a vast network of academic institutions interested in supporting a national-level curriculum development, accreditation and roll-out process. UNICEF is in an excellent position to work closely with several GOE ministries. With its strong relationship with these ministries, UNICEF has a clear comparative advantage with regards to implementing a program of this nature as they can potentially leverage resources and draw on evidence-based results. As they will be working directly with the GOE, UNICEF will be building the capacity of Government counterparts and systems. For COP FY 2013 the planned amount to put into this mechanism is $1.7 million.
