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.

SUMMARY: The Association of Evangelical Relief and Development Organizations (AERDO)'s HIV/AIDS Alliance ("the Alliance") proposes with this project to: train community and religious leaders, volunteers, health workers, married couples and teachers to clearly articulate traditional, community and faith-based values regarding prevention; and establish preventative HIV education programs for children and youth. Trainings and prevention education programs based on abstinence and being faithful will promote behavior change, raise awareness, reduce stigma, and empower beneficiaries to make good life choices.
This activity expands upon USG-funded activities currently being carried out by the Alliance in Haiti. Each partner agency will work with the Ministry of Health (MOH) at the community level, and World Concern Development Organization (WCDO), the lead agency of the Alliance, will also coordinate with the MOH at the national level. Implementing the program are Food for the Hungry (FH), WCDO, Salvation Army (SA), Christian Reformed World Relief Committee (CRWRC), The Foundation of Compassionate American Samaritans (FOCAS) and World Hope (WH). The Alliance's current abstinence and be faithful for youth (ABY) activities are gender balanced with at least 50% of the beneficiaries being female. Access to ABY information will be given through Youth-to-Youth (Y2Y) groups to reinforce their capacity to initiate a behavior change for a healthier life, as well as to manage and negotiate their sexuality. The Alliance will continue to challenge Haitian cultural, macho traditions and use discussion groups as well as retreats to give parents the tools they need to educate their children about HIV prevention and to ensure equity in transmission of values regarding abstinence to boys as well as girls. The Alliance will also promote traditional AB values through public service announcements (PSAs) and other broadcast outlets.
ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS: ACTIVITY 1: The Alliance will train religious leaders, volunteers, married couples and mentors in faithfulness (curriculum is to be adapted and translated). This will enable married or long-term relationship couples, to appropriately address issues such as risk factors, sex, economics and faithfulness with the 55 Alliance promoters. Trainees will teach seven lessons, reaching 4,528 participants, including 2,264 couples. The Awareness Campaign will be a continuous process throughout the project in order to recruit subsequent cohorts of beneficiaries. The Alliance will also raise awareness about the importance of using voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) services to reduce violence and coercion. Trainees will be mobilized to refer target groups for VCT services. Promoters will also continue to train 1,023 church and community leaders, volunteers and teachers to reinforce the role of 22,636 parents and other protective and supportive influences. Monthly meetings will empower parents to protect children and youth against premature, transactional, and cross generational sex, violence and coercion. ACTIVITY 2 : The alliance will establish preventive HIV education programs using drama, music, cultural events, and sporting contests. The Alliance will emphasize abstinence and behavior change for children and youth and recruit the second cohort of Youth-to-Youth groups. Working with local churches and schools, 55 promoters will each train 7,025 youth leaders in preventive HIV education. They will also finalize the training of the first cohort of Youth to Youth groups' beneficiaries. Promoters will use the World Relief "Choose Life" manual adapted from French to Creole. These youth leaders will in turn train 10 youth group members, for a total of 119,425 youth. Upon the successful completion of the preventive education program, all cohorts will be provided with pledge cards, offering the youth participants the opportunity to commit to abstinence and/or faithfulness. Youth leaders and youth group members will also be encouraged to share the lessons learned with their parents and caregivers. In addition, radio and television spots and /or broadcasts based on first year Barrier Analysis will be produced and/or realized, promoters will give prevention messages at youth camps, and outreaches and marches will be organized during special events (e.g. Memorial Day, International AIDS day, Valentines day, and Carnival) in order to reach additional beneficiaries with messages about HIV transmission and prevention. Community and church leaders will empower parents to talk with their children about prevention.
