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.
1. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION AND EMPHASIS AREAS
The Baptist AIDS Response Agency (BARA), an NPI Round 2 awardee, will build the organizational and
technical capacity of Kenyan Faith Based organizations and provide sub-grants to church organizations,
resulting in the provision of HIV Prevention services for 250,000 people, including youth, children in
vulnerable circumstances, couples, families and people living with HIV. In addition, it will provide training for
300 individuals to provide HIV prevention information, education and services. The key activities of BARA
will be to develop the organizational and technical capacity of nine FBO partners through setting up local
prevention programs and provide supportive supervision. These partners include the Free Pentecostal
churches of Kenya, The Deliverance churches of Kenya, Pentecostal Assemblies of God, Church of God,
East Africa Pentecostal Church, CHRISCO, Full Gospel Church and Grace Community Church. The
Baptist church will also form part of the FBOs under the BARA umbrella and implement prevention
activities. The project will cover activities in four districts, namely Teso, Trans Nzoia, Meru South and
Malindi. The capacity building strategy will focus on District-level management structures of the FBOs, who
will be substantially involved in determining the selection of activity implementation locations in their
districts. From within these district set-ups, youth leaders, couples leaders and clergy will be trained on
technical aspects of the program and have this training cascade to their respective churches within the
districts. The project will also integrate a focus on orphans and vulnerable children with a strong prevention
component. Prevention with positives will also be an important intervention through working with people
living with HIV and support groups. BARA will expand the True Love Waits program and strengthen the
quality of this curriculum as well as adopt a more comprehensive prevention strategy. This will additionally
include targeting parents through the Families Matter program, strengthening prevention among married
couples through the True Love Stays program and a closely linked HIV counseling and testing strategy,
particularly getting the couples to test together. Prevention and CT outreach will be undertaken to reach the
remote locations of the target districts. Rural populations will be targeted through both mobile outreach
activities, as well as clustering activities around each church nucleus. Referrals to care and treatment
services will be closely coordinated to ensure that prevention leads to increased access to HIV Care and
Treatment and vise versa. BARA will facilitate the adoption and implementation of comprehensive
prevention packages and assure quality programming by sub-grantees. Capacity building activities will
include both strengthening of administrative operations (such as planning and accounting) and technical
capacity (specific technical ability to implement Comprehensive prevention programs including faithfulness
campaigns closely tied to counseling and testing, positive prevention and routine program monitoring and
evaluation activities). This activity will include support to sub-recipients for activities integral to the program
2. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
These activities will contribute to the expansion of comprehensive prevention services for young people and
families, people living with HIV including discordant couples and other individuals surrounding FBO
communities. A total of 250,000 people will be reached with AB messages, and 300 trained to provide AB
education. In addition, human resource capacity will be strengthened to deliver HIV Prevention strategies
and a strengthened referral network for these services. This partner has a key role in building the
organizational and technical capacity of local organizations so that these activities can be sustained over
the long term.
3. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
In addition to building the capacity of sub-grant recipients, an important aspect of BARA's activities is to
support development of referrals/linkages between the FBO partners and targeted populations to other HIV
prevention and treatment activities. This activity is linked with BARA HVCT and BARA HKID.
4. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
The primary target populations are young people, families and FBO communities, including HIV-infected
persons and their partners. Some sub-partners reach remote or vulnerable populations who are otherwise
unable to access care services. The activity will also target training and capacity building of local community
organizations and support groups. The activity also targets to include community-based and faith-based
organizations and NGOs in the area.
5. SECONDARY CROSS-CUTTING BUDGET ATTRIBUTIONS
This activity will contribute to human capacity development through training lay and community health
workers for task shifting in the care and support program. The district leaders of the faith consortiums will
receive training in management and leadership. Life skills training will also be offered for HIV education
targeting teachers and students in the in-school program.

resulting in the provision of community care and support services to 600 OVC and training 60 caregivers.
These will be served with a package of primary direct and supplemental services. Caregivers will be trained
on essential elements of care to OVC, and will be linked with services that may increase the well-being of
the OVC, including the essential elements. OVC will be linked to services that may provide pediatric
counseling, testing and care and caregivers will be linked to care and treatment programs. An integral part
of the OVC program will be HIV Prevention services for the orphans, caregivers and their families to reduce
their vulnerability to HIV acquisition. Where feasible, caregivers will be enrolled to participate in the
Families Matter intervention to improve their skills on communicating HIV prevention and sexuality to their
adolescents. 400 OVC will receive primary direct support and all 600 will receive supplemental support.
Services will include education, housing, shelter, psychosocial support and healthcare among others. This
activity will support a community approach to OVC care by supporting them within familial or community
households. Identification and coordination of all programs will be done in close collaboration with the
GoK's children's department. Sensitization and training on stigma and discrimination will be incorporated
and the selection and services to OVC will assure that their dignity as children is assured, without further
stigmatization or labeling of OVC. Community and project leaders will also receive training on OVC
programming to enlist their support. The key activities of BARA will be to develop the organizational and
technical capacity of nine FBO partners through setting up local prevention programs and provide
supportive supervision. These partners include the Free Pentecostal churches of Kenya, The Deliverance
churches of Kenya, Pentecostal Assemblies of God, Church of God, East Africa Pentecostal Church,
CHRISCO, Full Gospel Church and Grace Community Church. The Baptist church will also form part of the
FBOs under the BARA umbrella and implement prevention activities. The project will cover activities in four
districts, namely Teso, Trans Nzoia, Meru South and Malindi. The capacity building strategy will focus on
District-level management structures of the FBOs, who will be substantially involved in determining the
selection of activity implementation locations in their districts. One of the key activities the local FBOs will
be supported to provide is home-based care for PLWHA. Post-test clubs will be established in connection
with BARA's VCT program and those clubs will identify individuals in need of additional care. Community
health workers will ensure consistent access to medical attention, nutritional support, and linkages to other
community support programs through home visits with PLWHA and their families.
These activities will contribute to serving 600 orphans and training 60 caregivers. Some OVC and
caregivers may be PLWHIV, hence will benefit from targeted PwP services. Prevention will be integrated to
the OVC program and will form a key element of the program. Sub-partners under this activity will benefit
from a capacity building process that will train the church consortium in the target districts in OVC
programming so that these activities can be sustained over the long term.
This activity is linked to BARA HVAB and HVCT OVC and caregivers in the program will be linked to
Pediatric as well as basic care and treatment program should they need HIV care. Caregivers will also be
educated and encourage to access counseling and testing services and whenever feasible, services will be
provided to the household.
The primary target populations are orphans who have lost one or both parents and are considered
vulnerable to/owing to HIV/AIDS. Majority of the church consortiums will reach underserved rural
populations. Through the integrated program, couples and young people in the hosting churches or
communities will be reached with targeted interventions. The activity will also target training and capacity
building of local community organizations and support groups. The activity also targets to include
community-based and faith-based organizations and NGOs in the area.
This activity will address Human Capacity Development through training community health workers in care
and support of OVC. These CHWs will contribute to task shifting as they will serve as the link between
community and health facilities. They will also participate as members of the community strategy,
particularly to provide education on stigma and discrimination as well as sensitizing the community on OVC
needs.

who will be substantially involved in determining the selection of activity implementation locations in their
districts. One of the key activities the local FBOs will be supported to provide is voluntary counseling and
testing through both fixed and mobile approaches. First, ten church-based VCT sites will be established in
Chuka, Naivasha, Nairobi, Kitui and Teso. The sites will be managed by the local faith communities and will
include family and couples counseling and testing. BARA will provide training and ongoing supervision to
the local VCT sites. Second, BARA will support counseling and testing services through mobile camps to
remote villages in the four target districts, with particular emphasis given to areas where BARA is also
conducting AB prevention activities.
These activities will contribute to the expansion of comprehensive VCT services for couples and family
testing in the four target districts. In addition, human resource capacity will be strengthened in the training
of VCT counselors from local faith communities. This partner has a key role in building the organizational
and technical capacity of local organizations so that these activities can be sustained over the long term.
prevention, care and treatment activities.
The primary target populations are adults and youth who are members of the partner churches. Some sub-
partners reach remote or vulnerable populations who are otherwise unable to access care services. The
activity will also target training and capacity building of local community organizations and support groups.
The activity also targets to include community-based and faith-based organizations and NGOs in the area.
