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 APHIA II programs in the country (#9029, #9041, #9048, #9053, #9056,
#9067, #9071, #9073).
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
USAID will partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers to provide scholarships to students who have been
orphaned by HIV/AIDS and who are in secondary and tertiary institutions. This activity will result in
increased access to education; increased retention rates and improved quality of education for
approximately 3,000 children orphaned by HIV/AIDS with special emphasis on girls. These scholarships
also include payment of school fees for the previous OVC who were being supported from FY 2005. By FY
2009 these will phase out, enough funds have been budgeted to cover up to FY 2009. The activity will
administer scholarship and sponsorship nationally to needy students, with a reach to the grassroots and a
capacity to reach orphans from all the regions so that they can benefit from these scholarships. This activity
will advocate for the children's rights to education and develop intervention strategies to increase access to
education, retention of students, and participation of orphans in education activities. The Ministry of
Education in collaboration with the Department of Children's Services, head of schools and institutions, and
the local administration (Chiefs) will identify these orphaned children and nominate them as the recipients of
the scholarships. In each district there is an Area Advisory Council for OVC who will play a crucial role in the
selection process. This will also initiate ownership and sustainability of the program once USAID support is
phased out.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
This program will give 3,000 orphans better access to higher education.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
This activity will link to APHIA II programs in the country (#9029, #9041, #9048, #9053, #9056, #9067,
#9071, #9073) which are specifically targeting orphans and vulnerable children.
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
The target is orphans and other vulnerable children as well as community and religious leaders and
volunteers. The activity also targets community-based and faith-based organizations.
6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED
This program will increase gender equity in HIV/AIDS programs by promoting the education of female
students.
7. EMPHASIS AREAS
The major emphasis is training with minor emphasis area being Linkages with Other Sectors and Initiatives.
