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.

THIS IS AN ONGOING ACTIVITY. THE NARRATIVE IS UNCHANGED EXCEPT FOR UPDATED
REFERENCES TO TARGETS AND BUDGETS.
1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES
This activity relates to activities in Abstinence and Be Faithful (#9007), (#8701), Condoms and Other
Prevention (#6842), (#8780) and Policy and Systems Strengthening to be carried out by the EduSector
AIDS ResponseTrust through HPI.
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
The Secondary School Action for Better Health (SSABH) program will be implemented in 250 secondary
schools over a 12-month period by the Centre for British Teachers (CfBT). CfBT will be expected to work
very closely with the all the APHIA II programs in the county, Ministry of Education (MOE), Kenya National
Union of Teachers (KNUT) and Teachers Service Commission (TSC). 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 40 new education and 40 new health trainers (making a total of 200 SSABH participants
trained since 2005) who will lead the training program. From each school, a total of eleven people will be
trained: the Head-teacher, 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 2,700 teachers and students (250 Headteachers, 1,500 teachers, 1,000 students, 40 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 130,000 individuals will be reached through community outreach
(125,000 students and 5,000 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. Links with the Kenya Head Teachers Association will also be strengthened. 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 along the major transport
routes across Kenya, formerly through the Transport Corridor Initiative. 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.
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
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.
