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 ($44,450) through provision of scholastic
materials, including procurement of school uniforms as well covering fees for older OVC enrolled in
vocational trainings.

1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES
This activity relates to activities in Counseling and Testing (#8976), Palliative Care (#7102 and #8936), ARV
services (#8765).
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
CARE Local Links Project is part of CARE (USA) two-country program. The project supports communities to
care for OVC households especially those affected by HIV/AIDS. Local Links mainly works through
Community Based Organizations and groups to mobilize available resources (human, economic and
knowledge systems) for the care and protection of OVC households. Project Activities focus on: 1)
Strengthening economic coping mechanisms of OVC families; 2) Capacity building of civil society
organizations; and 3) Reducing stigma and discrimination against PLWHA and their children. Local Links
will continue to implement in five selected villages in Nairobi's Kibera informal settlement in partnership with
30 civil society organizations, 10 faith-based groups and 12 youth groups and 14 informal primary schools.
Local Links will provide further training on areas including economic empowerment, child protection and
Lobby and Advocacy aimed at improving their capacity in providing quality services to OVC. Local Links will
continue to work with the 10 selected early childhood development (ECD) centers in Kibera to improve the
quality of ECD services to OVC in the pre-primary school category. The centers will be supported to provide
1,500 OVC with basic education, food, psychosocial support, legal protection, play and recreation
opportunities and safe drinking water. A total of 500 caregivers of the OVC in the ECD centers will be
provided with diverse skills in basic hygiene, safe water systems, child protection and economic
empowerment so as to ensure quality ECD services for OVC both in the centers and within the household.
In 2008 Local Links will continue working with the local CSO partners already receiving support to scale up
the provision of quality services to OVC and their families. A total of 510 staff members of partner CBOs will
be trained on Child Protection, Paralegallism, Project Development and Management, Resource
Mobilization, Lobby and Advocacy, Home Based Care, Psychosocial support, Child Participation and ECD
service provision.
3. CONTRIBUTION TO OVERALL PROGRAM
CARE Local Links project will train 600 caregivers (including caregivers of the OVC in the ECD centers)
which will directly benefit OVC in residents' families. These caregivers will care for 5,700 OVC. CSOs staff
and OVC caregivers will be trained on running Income Generating Activities (IGA), with direct benefits
expected to reach OVC under their care. As OVC caregivers establish well run IGAs, Local Links will create
linkages between the caregivers operating businesses and external marketing agencies.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
This activity is linked to counseling and testing, home based care, and ART services.
5. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED
Key legislative issues being addressed are stigma and discrimination against PLWHA and OVC under their
care, strengthening of the legal protection of the rights of children in general and those of OVC in particular
and provision of ECD services to children in marginalized communities by the government. In addition, the
youth will be supported to conduct Participatory Education Theater (PET) aimed at changing the
community's perception of HIV/AIDS and subsequently reducing the stigma and discrimination experienced
by PLWHA and their families.
6. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
Target population include OVC, caregivers, HIV affected/infected families, youth, PLWHA, community and
religious leaders, volunteers, program managers, CBO, civil society organizations, FBOs and NGOs.
7. EMPHASIS AREAS
Major emphasis in these activities is on community mobilization/participation. Minor emphasis is on
development of network/linkages/referral systems, human resources, IEC, linkages with other sectors and
initiatives and local organization capacity development.
