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: 2013 2014 2015
USAID is currently initiating a Task Order to continue the mainstreaming of in school youth HIV prevention intervention in high schools, colleges and universities. The goal of the program is to assist the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) HIV prevention response efforts in schools and education environments so that service provision is standardized, mainstreamed and meets quality standards. This three-year mechanism will target high prevalence towns, hot spots and corridors, while serving as a follow-on mechanism to several programs that are ending, including programs implemented by EDC/HCP, World Learning and Family Health International. The target populations are students as well as local and regional administrators, including Regional Education Bureaus (REBs). The program will analyze the current HIV prevention response profile lead by GOE and Global Fund (GF) at different levels to facilitate the adaption and scale-up of effective programs. In line with Global Health Initiative (GHI) & PEPFAR Framework (PF) principles of local leadership and ownership, this program will be led by GOEs Ministry of Education (MOE) and other local partners; sub-grants will be made to local entities including universities and REBs. The prime partners shall transition all of the service provision and TA to the GOE gradually. In addition, GOE will allocate REB funds to further strengthen program implementation. USAID will start direct funding to the MOE to support the transitioning and sustained ownership of the program. Cost effectiveness will be maximized by leveraging the use of existing structures and materials developed through USG and GF programs. The program will monitor activity implementation through monthly supportive supervision visits, regular reporting, and joint reviews.
The goal of this program is to improve coordination of mainstreaming HIV messaging in the education system. The program contributes directly to education wraparound activities that collectively address HIV prevention among youth, cultural norms and gender issues. HIV-integrated curriculum is currently implemented in 500 government and public primary schools in Addis Ababa and in the other towns. However, this new program intends to expand to private schools in Addis Ababa and also add three new areas including, Amhara, Oromia and Tigray. Overall, the program will target 100 high schools in hot spots and urban settings and 50 higher learning institutions including selected private colleges throughout Ethiopia while benefiting approximately 50,000 students. The implementer will facilitate the curriculum expansion to up to 500 high schools in partnership with the government of Ethiopia. The primary schools will be reached by the already existing pact and world learning programs. The secondary schools will strengthen and mobilize community groups for improved education and health services, with special focus on abstinence and be faithful activities. The program will also provide comprehensive messages for students in selected high schools, tertiary level facilities concerning reducing multiple concurrent partnerships, risky gender norms and when appropriate, promoting delayed initiation of sex. The program will also engage Girls' Education Advisory Committees (GEAC) to influence parents, and religious and community leaders against harmful traditional practices that predisposes girls for early marriage and sexual debut. The program will also work with Regional Education Bureaus (REB), higher learning institutes and teachers in integrating standard HIV prevention education curricula based upon existing PEPFAR-funded materials. The messages will be transmitted through small groups that are based in classrooms and clubs; the key messages will be spread over an academic year. Regional Health Bureaus (RHB) will be technically assisted in adapting and integrating messaging. The program will provide technical assistance and mentoring to schools and tertiary level ensuring HIV prevention messages are integrated in to the Government of Ethiopia (GOE) education system and then transitioning is smoothly done. There will be a data collection system and active monitoring to schools to ensure that the number of students that are reached with a minimum service is captures and monitored.
The programs objective is to promote a reduction in risky sexual behaviors among 50,000 students in secondary and tertiary educational facilities in Ethiopia through HIV prevention education that aims to increase knowledge and awareness. The project will work with more universities and colleges in future COP years and will eventually phase out, ultimately, transitioning activities to schools, universities and Regional Education Bureaus (REBs). The program will directly support educational facilities located in hotspot areas, while additional facilities including the National Forum for HIV prevention in Universities and the Ministry of Education (MOE) will be provided with technical support for service standardization. HIV prevention sections or units in major tertiary education facilities will receive grants for the direct management of prevention efforts within their vicinities. The program targets highly vulnerable students with the goal of mainstreaming, standardizing and improving quality communication methods, including reinforcement activities. Key teachers and training facilities will be selected for a short pre-service training on the integrated curriculum of HIV messaging in schools. Venues that are preferred by HIV vulnerable students such as chat chewing houses and local bars will be targeted for HIV prevention interventions. Furthermore, the project will focus on increasing and meeting the demand for key healthcare services such as uptake of STI and HCT. The program will pick up the activities from past in school youth HIV/AIDS prevention interventions. Standard curriculum used by these projects will continued to be used with slight contextual modification as a communication tool in these schools. The behavior changing communication in tertiary level facilities will be standardized based on existing materials including the Campus Life and Peer Education Guides created by Family Health International (FHI) and World Learning. The program ensures the presence of a functional M & E system that tracks and ensures the New Generation Indicator (NGI 8.1D) minimum requirements are met.
