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 is related to HBHC APHIA II Western TBD (#8931).
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION This activity seeks to mitigate the adverse socio-economic consequences of the AIDS epidemic on infected and affected persons by establishing a sustainable savings and credit scheme and disbursing loans to about 650 new borrowers within the existing program area. In January 2001 with funding from USAID, K-Rep Development Agency (K-REP) started a pilot project to provide financial services to HIV/AIDS infected and affected persons in three districts (Kakamega, Butere-Mumias, and Busia) in Western Kenya. This was preceded by a study which concluded that HIV/AIDS infected and affected persons lacked access to financial services. The three-year pilot phase ended in December 2003. A follow-on expansion and consolidation phase funded out of PEPFAR was approved in February 2005 to include Bungoma and Siaya districts in Western Province. The project is primarily providing savings and credit services to the targeted clients using group lending and village banking approaches. Loans are made to HIV/AIDS infected and affected persons to start or expand existing micro and small businesses. Clients also receive training in basic business management. Through partner organizations, clients receive other services such as counseling, education on health issues related to AIDS.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA This activity will contribute to the Kenya 5-year strategy and result in 650 new borrowers who are infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. Supporting their income generating activities will directly improve their standard of living and health condition. Currently the program covers five districts in western province with target groups of people living with AIDS (PLWHAs) in the communities including Commercial Sex Workers (CSWs). This will contribute to behavioral change, improve living standards, provide better planning and organizational abilities for income generating activities (IGAs) productivity through the training provided to them by the project. There will be reduced stigmatization against HIV/AIDS infected and affected persons reduced where non-infected recognize the infected persons doing better economically and socially.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES This activity is linked to other palliative care activities that will be implemented by the APHIA II Western TBD (#8931). The linking of activities aims to address the mobilization and provision of counseling and psychosocial support to the HIV/AIDS infected and affected and volunteers.
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED This activity will target people affected and infected by HIV/AIDS, they include PLWAs in the communities, youth, commercial sex workers, who are members of financial services associations (FSA) or other organized groups such as post test clubs or home-based care groups in each district.
6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED By supporting income generating activities for PLWA this activity will directly improve their standard of living and health condition, thereby prolonging their lives as well as reducing stigma and discrimination. Other legislative issues are access to Microfinance and Micro-credit to the various groups, which will boost their income generating activities thereby economically empowering the infected and affected families.
7. EMPHASIS AREAS The main emphasis will be community mobilization and participation by providing savings and credit services to the target groups that undertake IGAs. Ultimately it is anticipated that the program will improve the living standards and develop a positive living approach of the target group. Minor emphasis will be in training the target groups in basic business management skills.
