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 Counseling and Testing and ARV treatment programs at faith-based hospitals including Maua Methodist Hospital, Tigania Catholic Mission Hospital, and Nyambene District Hospital.
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION Samaritan's Purse (SP) Kenya implements an ongoing abstinence and behavior change program for youth called MET (Mobilizing, Equipping, and Training) that focuses on helping youth make healthy choices that prevent new HIV infections through practicing abstinence, secondary abstinence, and faithfulness. In FY07, the SP-Kenya MET Program will focus on increasing male youth involvement in ABY activities, reducing sexual coercion of young people, decreasing HIV/AIDS-related stigma, and increasing unmarried female youth participation in VCT. In the baseline survey conducted in March 2006 the Tigania, Ntonyiri and Igembe locations all had deficiencies in those key program areas. In a recent follow-up survey, Tigania area stood out as a priority area for increasing knowledge on HIV/AIDS and behavior change for youth. To address these concerns, the SP-Kenya team intends to continue the standard MET approach cycle of activities, but will adapt and increase certain program activities. Specifically, the SP-Kenya (SP-K) team will focus on adapting the curriculum used in workshops to address the concerns of male youth who have had less than average involvement in program activities in the past year, strengthening and increasing community conversations on child sexual abuse and exploitation, involving more youth in compassionate care activities for vulnerable households, and launching a radio program. Activities for SP-K will train 1,560 individuals to provide HIV/AIDS prevention programs that focus on AB. Those trained will reach 31,200 individuals with community outreach HIV/AIDS prevention programs that promote AB. These trainings will take place in 39 communities in the Tigania, Ntonyiri, and Igembe areas within Meru North. In addition to ongoing program monitoring, follow-up surveys in February and August of 2007 will provide management with data on the program's impact on knowledge, attitudes, and practices of young people in the target area.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA MET program targets include 31,200 individuals reached through community outreach programs that promote abstinence and/or being faithful, and these targets correspond with the Kenya Five-Year Strategy goals. Those unmarried youth and their peers reached will receive specific messages to choose abstinence as a life-saving option, and faithfulness will be emphasized for married youth. More narrowly, 8% of those reached will promote a message of new behavioral norms and legal protections responsive to the special vulnerability of girls. Another contribution to the Kenya Strategy goals is that 4% of the targets will have messages about the heightened risk of orphans and other vulnerable children. This activity also focuses on youth as a priority population by promoting youth campaigns aimed at encouraging a change in sexual behavior, discouraging drug and substance abuse, focusing on negative peer influence as a way to prevent new HIV/AIDS infections in the community and developing links between BCC programs and care services for PLWHA.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES The MET Program creates linkages between the grassroots implementers and other services. To underscore the emphasis on abstinence and being faithful, linkages to services for STI treatment and VCT are necessary. SP will refer youth in need of these services to Maua Methodist Hospital (MMH), the Nyambene District Hospital (NDH), and the MOH supported VCT center in Maua town. Youth and youth leaders participate in the care of PLWHA, and will make referrals to the PEPFAR funded ART and palliative care programs at MMH and NDH.
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED The MET program targets primarily children and youth, including girls, boys, primary and secondary school students. Additionally, program activities target adult men and women, HIV/AIDS-affected families, out-of-school youth, community leaders, religious leaders, and volunteers. Groups and organizations targeted include community-based organizations, faith-based organizations and rural communities.
6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED The program addresses gender equity in programming through behavior change messages
and mentoring targeting vulnerable girls and young women and male norms and behaviors through community conversation about sexual abuse and exploitation of children and youth. Training community mentors and increasing dialogue with leaders aims to reduce violence and coercion. Open dialogue about HIV/AIDS helps break the stigma and identify the cultural norms contributing to abuse of children. New radio programming in Kimeru addresses sexual violence and coercion, social norms, and stigma and discrimination.
7. EMPHASIS AREAS This activity includes major emphasis on information, education, and communication. Minor emphasis areas are community mobilization/participation, training, and linkages with other sectors and initiatives.
