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.

ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM COP 2008
SECONDARY CROSS-CUTTING BUDGET ATTRIBUTIONS
This activity supports key cross cutting attributions in education ($115,500) through provision of scholastic
materials, including procurement of school uniforms as well covering fees for older OVC enrolled in
vocational trainings. $346,500 of the budget will be attributed to food and nutrition activities that specifically
target malnourished children as well as continued support to the project's feeding program in Siaya district.
In addition, $231,000 of the budget will be attributed to supporting economic empowerment initiatives a
sustainable approach to supporting caregivers beyond procurement of food commodities.

2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Plan USA is the prime for Breaking Barriers, a Track One Centrally Funded program, among a consortium
of Hope for African Children Initiative (HACI). The partners in Kenya include Save the Children (HACI
member), World Conference of Religions for Peace (HACI member), Pandpieri Catholic Center, Rangala
Child and Family Development Program, St. Johns Community Center and the Inter-religious Council of
Kenya (IRCK). Program activities are concentrated in the urban areas of Kisumu (Nyanza Province) and
Nairobi and in rural parts of Siaya district in Western Kenya. The program will emphasize expanding OVC
access to school and school-based services such as HIV awareness, prevention and psychosocial support;
home-based care and nutritional support for OVC and families and in engaging religious groups and
PLWHA in combating stigma and discrimination. Over 120 OVC households in rural Siaya will receive farm
inputs, while over 100 OVC households in Nairobi will receive IGA training and support. IRCK will also train
1300 religious leaders on advocacy and stigma reduction, support 6 PLWHA groups in psychosocial
support (PSS) and 6 organizations in capacity building. The project will make substantial strides towards its
strategic objective to expand sustainable, effective, quality OVC programs in education, psychosocial
support and community-based care for children and families affected by HIV/AIDS, using an extensive
network of schools (both formal and informal) and religious institutions as a coordinated platform for rapid
scale up and scale out. Intermediate results are threefold. The first is to improve the education,
psychosocial support, and community-based care services for 12,500 OVC and families affected by
HIV/AIDS. Education, life skills training, and HIV-prevention will be accomplished by supporting formal and
non formal school options, which expand OVC enrollment and attendance and promote teacher and child
knowledge of HIV/AIDS and behavior change skills to prevent HIV infection. PSS will be promoted in
schools through teacher training, development of new curriculum and organization, support of child
counseling, recreational activities and peer support groups. FBOs and other groups will be strengthened in
their efforts to provide referrals, counseling and spiritual support for children and families, identify unmet
basic material needs and increase access to resources to meet them. The second intermediate result is
building capacity and mobilizing resources for care and support to OVC and families. This result will
increase the capacity of vulnerable children, families and communities to mobilize and manage internal and
external resources needed for quality care and support for children and families affected by HIV/AIDS. This
goal is accomplished by building the capacity of local organizations in skills such as needs assessment,
strategic planning, project design, resource mobilization, community organizing, program management, and
monitoring and evaluation. Building capacity of individuals will be done by training 1,200 community
resource people (teachers, caregivers, religious leaders, and children) in improved methods for provision of
education, psychosocial support, and community based care. The third intermediate result is to create a
supportive environment for OVC and their families. This entails creating an environment in which children,
families and communities working with the government, faith-based organizations and civil society advocate
for the provision of essential services, and reduce stigma and discrimination related to HIV/AIDS. Religious
leaders trained in stigma reduction and advocacy skills will campaign, in collaboration with PLWHA,
community leaders and children, with positive messages to raise HIV/AIDS awareness. Non-discriminatory
school policies, positive environments, and activities that reduce stigma and empower OVC through a
collaboration of children with teachers and administrators will be designed and implemented.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
Breaking Barriers seeks to increase OVC access to education, psychosocial support and home-based care
for both children and their caregivers. Thus, access to education shall be increased both directly, by
eliminating common barriers keeping OVC from school, and indirectly, by addressing their psychosocial and
physical health needs and those of their families, and by addressing HIV/AIDS-related stigma. The program
will reach 12,500 OVC and train over 1,200 individuals in caring for OVC.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
This activity will be linked to health facilities in the area on issues of Counseling and Testing (#8760, #8976,
