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 the community grants program administrative and sponsorship support (#9079).
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION The PEPFAR Coordination Office in Kenya continuously receives concept papers proposing community-level interventions for HIV/AIDS related activities, with the majority of requests focused on support to AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children. In past years, the Coordination Office has shared these unsolicited requests with its "umbrella" implementing partners, the Cooperative Housing Foundation (CHF) and Academy for Educational Development's Capable Partners Program, for action. However, these umbrella groups are unable to absorb the high demand for support. To better meet the needs of these community organizations, the PEPFAR Coordination Office will establish a PEPFAR Community Grants Program (CGP) within the Ambassadors' Special Self-Help Fund (SSH) at the U.S. Embassy. Local organizations including community-based organizations (CBOs), faith-based organizations (FBOs), and registered self-help groups providing support to AIDS orphans and vulnerable children will be eligible to apply for funding under the HKID program area.
These grants will be designed to provide one-time assistance to communities with small-scale projects that provide care and/or economic support to children affected by AIDS at the grassroots level. These grants may include support for developing microcredit enterprises for caregivers or older youth, school fees program, and youth-friendly centers that offer a safe place to learn about HIV and AIDS prevention and treatment, among others. Working with current SSH partners such as the District Social Development Officers, grassroots groups may also be identified for support. Unsolicited proposals will be ranked and evaluated by the grants manager prior to review by a full committee comprised of representatives from the PEPFAR Coordination Office, CHF, and the Capable Partners Program. The committee will meet with the grants officer on a quarterly basis to review final applicants and to share lessons learned on community grants program implementation.
HKID funding for this activity will cover costs of grants. In FY 2007 we will support approximately 35-40 grants of $3,000 - $7,000 each. At least 1,600 OVC and 375 care givers will receive support under this activity.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA This activity contributes to broadening support for basic health care and support in both the palliative care and orphans and vulnerable children program areas. Establishing a dedicated office for awarding community grants not only provides an opportunity to assist those most in need, but also develops local organizational capacity to handle future funding from the USG and other support systems.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES This activity is linked to correlated activities in the HBHC program area (#9079), and cross-cuts with other OVC activities.
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED This activity targets orphans and vulnerable children, HIV/AIDS-affected families, people living with HIV/AIDS, CBOs and FBOs.
6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED The Community Grants Program will support wrap around issues in food, microfinance, and education.
7. EMPHASIS AREAS Major emphasis areas include local organization capacity development with minor emphasis in community mobilization/participation and food/nutrition.
