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: During FY07, the CRS OVC Team will partner with Bethel Clinic in Fond des Negres to strengthen and develop appropriate, effective, and sustainable community-based approaches to supporting children affected by HIV/AIDS through participatory learning and action. Efforts to enhance the managerial capacity of children safety net institutions (CSNI) will also be pursued to enable them to deliver better quality care, support and prevention activities for OVC and their families. Through this activity, youth aged 15-18 years will have increased access to quality vocational/professional training. OVC housed in children's shelters in the West, South, South East and Grande Anse Regional Departments will be reached as well as OVC living in households throughout the Nippes Regional Department. OVC will benefit from a comprehensive intervention package, including nutritional support (Title II resources for institutionalized OVC, and funding for food security will be sought for children living in households throughout the Nippes communities); educational opportunities for out-of-school youth aged15-18; an economic strengthening program including vegetable gardens and other small enterprises for families/caregivers; and psychosocial support for OVC, families and caregivers.
BACKGROUND: The CRS OVC program has been working to improve the care and support offered to OVC in five regional departments since 2004 with PEPFAR and USG Title II resources. To date, the program has reached nearly 8,000 OVC sheltered in institutions (orphanages, street kids centers, specialized homes for children with reduced capacity, day centers for children in domesticity, etc.) located in the South, South East, Grande Anse, West and Nippes Departments. CRS has more than 30 years experience delivering child safety net and OVC programs in Haiti. During FY06, CRS has begun to develop some experience in community-based OVC support. CRS, with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Minister of Social Affairs, was an active organizer of this year's first national forum on OVC with the objective of defining a national framework for the support to OVC from HIV. During FY07, CRS supported OVC will benefit from expanded HIV pediatric care and support.
ACTIVITES AND EXPECTED RESULTS: Activity 1: CRS will provide psychosocial support to OVC identified through the hospital-based pediatric services, people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) receiving palliative care/ARV treatment at Bethel clinic in Fond des Negres, as well as from community outreach programs throughout the Nippes. OVC families and caregivers will receive training to make them better equipped to assist and protect the children in their care, and OVC will receive one-on-one counseling by trained and experienced field monitors. Family counseling will be accessible to targeted families with limited coping capacity. Peer support groups will be formed, creating forums for OVC to express their grief, doubts and fears and build together hope for the future. Through kids clubs, OVC will benefit from life skills training and will participate in experiential learning camps once or twice a year.
Activity 2: CRS will provide youth aged 15-18 years scholarships to attend a vocational/professional school. In addition, OVC from aged 8-18 years will be trained in HIV/AIDS prevention care, health, hygiene, nutrition and children's rights.
Activity 3: CRS will provide the caregivers of OVC basic training in small enterprise development and management. Caregivers will receive technical and financial assistance from CRS/OVC team to develop small income generating schemes, such as vegetable gardens, animal rearing, food transformation, and tailor shops. Activity 4: CRS will provide OVC with regular distributions of Title II food resources to ensure they have access to two balanced meals per day. Food for the highly vulnerable children living throughout the Nippes communities is not yet secured, however, efforts will be made to access the necessary funding in FY07. Funds raised in implementing income-generating activities, will also increase food access to families.
