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 Counseling and Testing (#8782 and #8777), ART (#8792 and #8826).
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Christian Aid (CA) is a UK based international development agency with over 40 years of experience
supporting more than 550 indigenous non-governmental and faith-based organizations in 60 countries. CA
will work with community and faith based organizations to provide holistic care and support to orphans and
vulnerable children (OVC) in Eastern and Nyanza Provinces. CA will work with two faith-based community
development organizations in Kenya's Western and Eastern Provinces. These organizations are the
Benevolent Institute of Development Initiatives (BIDII), which is operating in Machakos and Makueni
districts (Lita, Mbee, Kathiani, Mavivye, Kiima-kiu, and Kilome sublocations), and Inter Diocesan Community
Development Services (IDCCS), which is operating in Siaya, Rachuonyo, Kisumu, Migori, Homa-Bay, Bodo,
and Nyando districts (Siaya, Yala, Kisii, Kisumu, Migori, Homa-Bay, Bondo, and Ahero sublocations). The
expected impact of the CA Track 1 project is improved quality of life for at least 9,800 OVC and 1,800 care
givers. This will be done through building the technical knowledge and material capacity of over 100 OVC
households to produce nutritious food for the long term, benefiting the OVC in these households. Provide
income generation support to at least 600 OVC household guardians and older OVC, to enable them to
operate new, profitable income generating activities (IGAs). Ensure that OVC regularly receive quality
psychosocial support through community-based volunteers and caregivers. This intervention will include
health care, provision of fees to enable OVCs to access education and also mobilize the local community
volunteers to build or repair basic housing for OVC. To ensure clean water availability, the program will fund
and organize for four water springs to be protected in Kathiani impact zones. This will enable at least 800
OVC households to access safe drinking water for their everyday needs, benefiting OVC in these
households. To protect OVC from stigma and discrimination, community volunteers will be mobilized to
establish Child Protection Committees (CPCs) and actively promote messages geared to reducing stigma
and discrimination on OVC and promoting child rights. This will lead to a reduction of at least 30% of
community members with negative and discriminating attitude towards OVC and an increase of at least
30% in the proportion of community leaders, guardians and general community members that acknowledge
and recognize the extent of exploitation, violence and abuse experienced by OVC. Support CPC members
to monitor discrimination and abuse of OVC through community based home visit programs, which will be
operational in six sub locations. Mobilize the formation of youth clubs in approximately 150 villages. Peer
educators will provide life skills training to OVC in the youth clubs. The life skills will help OVC avoid
situations where they can fall victim to exploitation, violence and sexual abuse. CPC members will be
trained on children's rights and counseling skills and conduct exchange visits and attend a reflection
workshop in Uganda towards the end of the period, to reflect on progress made, what has worked well and
what has not and to share innovative approaches and tools. Lessons learned will be fed into the
interventions for the following year, resulting in improved effectiveness and quality of support provided to
OVC and OVC households.
3. CONTRIBUTION TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
The program will reach 9,800 OVC through complementary and integrated care and support interventions
and 1,800 care givers will be trained in a number of complementary areas, including income generation,
sustainable food production, psychosocial support, and child protection.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
This activity is linked to Counseling and Testing program and ART services.
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
This program will target orphans and vulnerable children and their caregivers.
6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED
Issues to be addressed include stigma and discrimination and ensuring that as many as girl OVC benefit as
well as boys. Data will be gender disaggregated to ensure gender equity in all the project's various
interventions. Support to food security, micro-finance, micro-credit and education sectors will be addressed.
Work will also be undertaken to link women and girls to the project's educational support, food security, and
income generation interventions.
7. EMPHASIS AREAS
Major emphasis area is community mobilization/participation and training and minor emphasis area is
development network/linkages/referral systems and quality assistance and supportive supervision.
