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 the Counseling and Testing and OVC program areas.
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION In FY07, the "Life Choices Program" will provide AB messages to 14,000 individuals. The target population is youth 10 to19 years of age at over 13 Salesian sites in Central, Nairobi, Eastern, and North Eastern provinces. The majority of Salesian Missions' (SM) work will be in the urban environments such as Embu, Kakuma, Korr, Makuyu, Nairobi (Boys Town, Kibera, Mlolong, Upper Hill, and Utume) where HIV/AIDS prevalence in Kenya is 10% versus 7% nationwide. Trainers and community leaders/mobilizers will reach 14,000 in- and out-of-school youth. Approximately 400 peer educators will be trained, who are expected to reach 9,000 youth. Twenty of the peer educators will exclusively target OVC. The involvement of parents, teachers, community leaders and parishes will support and reinforce the behavior change messages advocated by the trainers and peer educators. Five hundred parents will be educated by the trainers. Community mobilization and participation will occur in the parishes by training 150 parishioners who will reach 1,500 people. BCC messages will provide additional reinforcement and reach approximately 10,000 youth.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA Salesian Missions is supporting the USG's objective of promoting HIV prevention efforts in Kenya through peer education, outreach for in- and out-of-school youth (notably street children and OVC), and community mobilization. The main objective is to change social norms regarding risky sexual behavior, and the education and dissemination of information on condoms and condom use. At this time SM is not capable of estimating the number of HIV infections that it will avert, however we will be doing our part through the faith-based communities, youth groups, a BCC campaign, and the education of thousands of individuals to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES Salesian Missions will contribute substantially to Kenya's 5-Year Strategy by encouraging youth to be tested for HIV if they have been exposed to the virus or STIs. The health-seeking behavior message will be delivered to every youth 15 years of age or older. Strong links will be established to the local VCT centers and all peer educators will be encouraged to go through VCT. The health-seeking behavior message will increase the utilization of the local VCT centers by youth and will reduce the stigma associated with VCT centers.
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED The AB activities target youth (10 to 19 years of age), especially girls and young women since they are at greater risk than the boys and young men. The Salesians work very closely with OVC and street children, which are high-risk populations. For FY 2007, approximately 370 OVC youth will be reached with AB and health-seeking behavior messages.
6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED Key legislative issues will be addressed during the training. The educational and advocacy messages of the program include gender equality, trans-generational sex, male norms, stigma and discrimination and reducing sexual violence and coercion. These messages will be reinforced by the BCC campaign.
7. EMPHASIS AREAS The Salesian Missions activities place an emphasis on information, education and communication with minor emphases on training, community mobilization / participation, development of linkages, quality assurance, SI and information, education and communication.
