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 (#9007), (#8701) and Condoms and Other Prevention (#6842), (#8780) and Policy and Systems Strengthening work to be carried out by the Mobile Task Team.
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION The Secondary School Action for Better Health (SSABH) program will be implemented in 170 secondary schools over a 13-month period. The schools will be selected in collaboration with the Ministry of Education (MOE) and USAID, in areas of high HIV/AIDS prevalence and in districts where secondary schools have received little support in terms of HIV/AIDS education awareness and prevention. In partnership with the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health (MOH), CfBT will mobilize and train 20 new trainers (making a total of 116 SSABH participants trained since 2005) who will lead the training program. From each school, a total of eleven people will be trained: the Headteacher, six teachers including the Guidance & Counseling Teacher (as Peer Support Advisors) and four students (Peer Supporters) will be trained in implementing the MOE-approved AIDS syllabus and establishing a school-based Peer Supporter behavior initiative. They will then be responsible for expanding the program to all staff and students in their schools. The Headteachers will be trained to lead and support the program, while 40 Zonal Inspectors (now called Quality Assurance and Standards Officers or QASOs) will be trained to monitor and mentor the teachers as they implement the AIDS syllabus. In total about 2,000 teachers and students (170 Headteachers, 1,020 teachers, 680 students, 20 trainers and 40 Zonal Inspectors) will receive training in HIV prevention messages. Assuming that each school has 500 students and 20 teachers, a total of 88,400 individuals will be reached through community outreach (85,000 students and 3,400 teachers). Every effort will be made to synergize with the AFT-EF project and work in sites where the education gatekeepers have already been made aware of the Education Sector Policy for AIDS. The selection of sites will be made in collaboration with MOE, AFT and USAID in order to ensure adequate coverage. Links with the Kenya Head Teachers Association will also be explored.
The teachers who have received training lead and support the students. Compared to previous phases of SSABH (in 2005 and 2006), the number of trained teachers per school will increase. In addition, the field support and monitoring component of the program will be strengthened.
Teachers will assist students who are trusted and popular with their peers to develop peer education programs. They will be given focused training in communication including cues to prompt conversations. A situational model/scripting approach will be used: identifying risky situations and circumstances and supplying strategies for reducing risk or avoiding situations/circumstances.
Schools will be given reference and support materials and encouraged and assisted to set up school AIDS clubs, anonymous question boxes and extra-curricular activities. Monitoring instruments will be developed for use by the Zonal Inspectors for investigating and supporting SSABH implementation at school level.
The schools will also be visited by the 40 Quality Assurance and Standards Officers who will have been trained to assess SSABH activities in the course of their normal inspectorate duties.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA The program contributes to the increased use of schools to target educators as well as youth. It is also a component of the comprehensive HIV/AIDS programming USG is developing among the major transport routes across Kenya through the Transport Corridor Initiative (FHI-TCI). This program will target teachers and students with abstinence and being faithful messages. The program will also address the issues of safer sex by providing accurate information on condom use. SSABH will therefore employ the ABC approach, to help youth 14 years and over change their behaviors. SSABH will not actively promote or provide condoms.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES Selected sites will include those schools where the American Federation of Teachers
Education Foundation's sub-grant to the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has already sensitized Headteachers to the impact of HIV and AIDS on the education sector and for the need for a concerted response. Liaison with KNUT has been formalized through the participation of CfBT on the KNUT advisory committee. This activity also relates to activities in the following program areas: Policy and Systems Strengthening, Strategic Information and Other Prevention. This activity also contributes to the implementation of the "Education Sector Policy for HIV and AIDS in Kenya."
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED The target populations for this activity include headteachers, teachers, secondary school students and adults and people living with HIV.
6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED Through education of both students and teachers, stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV or AIDS will be reduced. Both target populations will learn how HIV is transmitted, how transmission can be prevented and how treatment and care of HIV and AIDS affected individuals empowers them to remain productive members of society.
7. EMPHASIS AREAS The major emphasis area is training, and minor emphasis areas include information, education and communication, linkages with other sector initiatives, and policy guidelines.
