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.
1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES This activity relates to activities in Abstinence and Be Faithful Programs (#6876).
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION The Kenya Episcopal Conference - Catholic Secretariat (KEC-CS) is currently implementing an HIV prevention program in parochial schools. There is also a mass media component using a Catholic radio station. This KEC-CS project is funded as a sub-grant under the CHF capacity building project. KEC-CS works through a twinning relationship with DePaul University, a Catholic university where several professors have expertise in HIV prevention activities promoting abstinence and faithfulness. These professors also have expertise in monitoring and evaluation. The major activity which DePaul University will engage in under this twinning partnership will be to assist the KEC-CS in monitoring and evaluating their program which promotes abstinence and faithfulness among Catholic youth attending schools supported by the KEC-CS as well as assessing the impact of the mass media activities which KEC-CS is conducting.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA This twinning relationship will contribute to HIV prevention in youth, a high priority in the Kenya Five-Year Strategy. It will also assist in the evaluation of AB activities in Kenya. There are now many FBOs and CBOs implementing AB activities with PEPFAR funding. Most of these organizations do not have in-house capacity for a thorough assessment of the impact of their work, so the evaluation findings that this twinning project will generate will no doubt benefit other AB partners as well. In this regard, there are no specific targets attached to this entry.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES This project links to AB activities implemented by KEC-CS which are listed under the CHF capacity building project HVAB (#6876) CARE Kenya. The Twinning initiative will provide technical support to the Kenya Episcopal Conference/Kenya Catholic Secretariat's program in strengthening its M&E system and overall programming.
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED The primary population being targeted by the interventions that will be evaluated is school children attending Catholic schools. A large FBO, the Kenya Episcopal Conference-Catholic Secretariat, will also benefit from this twinning partnership.
6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED Twinning is the primary issue addressed in this project.
7. EMPHASIS AREAS The major emphasis area is strategic information, as monitoring and evaluation is the primary activity to be supported by this project. A secondary emphasis area is local organization capacity development, as this activity will also build the capacity of KEC-CS to conduct monitoring and evaluation on their own in the future.
