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.
Years of mechanism: 2010 2011
Goals and Objectives It is estimated that approximately 2.4 Million (11%) of Kenyan children below 15 years of age are orphans (KDHS, 2003); approximately 1 million (42%) of these have been orphaned due to AIDS (estimated from KNASP 2005/6-2009/10). As of September 30th 2009, PEPFAR in Kenya was supporting 568,811 OVC with direct services; 208,705 (38%) of these results were achieved by centrally funded Track 1.0 OVC mechanisms.
A key focus of PEPFAR in 2009 will be to continue service delivery to OVC already receiving support from PEPFAR and on enhancing family centered care for OVC in ways that empowers families to care for their own OVC. The Track 1 OVC follow on will enable OVC receiving support from centrally funded activities continue to access the care and support they need in ways that reduce their vulnerabilities to HIV and AIDS.
The TBD project will focus on the following result areas:-
Result 1: Continued service delivery to the 208,705 OVC receiving care and support through mechanisms that were centrally funded Result 2:- Strengthening the capacity of PEPFAR funded partners to provide family centered care for OVC Result 3:- Bolstering family capacity to provide care for the 208,705 OVC and other household members through identification of strategies for enhancing household economic strengthening in OVC programs.
How does this link to the Partnership Framework Goals. One of the key focus areas of the Partnership Framework is to support community efforts and mitigation programs including capacity building for households with OVC and to expand care for children by AIDS.
The Track 1 OVC follow on will ensure that the 208,705 OVCs that were being served by centrally funded mechanisms continue to receive the care and support they need and that their families capacities to care for them and other household members is strengthened through high yielding strategies such as household economic strengthening activities.
Geographic Coverage and target populations. This Track 1 OVC follow on will support OVC and their families at the regional level as well as work to build the capacity of local CBOs to enhance family centered care for these OVC.
Cross-cutting programs and key issues: Track 1 OVC Follow on partners will support gender issues, including male involvement to address male norms to indirectly strengthen women's ability to access health services, Protection and land tenure; focus on achieving gender equity in HIV/AIDS activities and services and increasing women's access to income and productive resources through IGA activities. The Track 1 OVC Follow on partners will build the capacity of local partners to address gender-based vulnerabilities and risk factors for OVC, support stronger linkages to reproductive health/family planning services, PwP messaging and interventions for those HIV-positive. Track 1 OVC follow on partners will support robust mechanisms that support delivery of quality services and referrals; and build sustainable community based structures to ensure continuum of care for OVC.
IM strategy to become more cost efficient over time (e.g. coordinated service delivery, PPP, lower marginal costs etc). Enhancing capacity of local partners in family centered care for OVC will ensure that more children and parents are kept alive, family members are able to access treatment, children are kept in families and economic strengthening is reinforced so as to allow families and their children effectively reap the benefits of PEPFAR interventions, striving for locally led responses that will in time reduce dependence on PEPFAR and ensure sustainability.
Budget allocation: Redacted
Track 1 OVC follow on will be a regional activity covering target regions in target provinces in Kenya and will provide care and support to HIV infected and affected Orphans and Vulnerable Children and their families and will build on the progress of APHIA II and Track 1 OVC activities in providing care and support for HIV infected and affected Orphans and Vulnerable Children and their families. The TBD partner will continue to work with local CBOs, FBO, NGOs and local communities to serve OVC and their families and implement community based activities aimed at reducing their vulnerability to HIV and AIDS and to help them grow into healthy and productive members of society.
The TBD partner will continue to strengthen the capacity of families and provide the range of essential services in line with the Kenya's National Plan of Action for OVC and the USG Guidance for OVC programming. The partner will provide an increased number of services to individual children and their families based on needs and will continue to support and strengthen local committees in the identification, targeting and support to vulnerable children.
The TBD partner will offer a Family-Centered Care for OVC and will ensure that families are empowered to care for their own OVC. The partner will specifically focus on keeping parents alive, increasing their capacity to care for their own children and enhancing access to education. The TBD partner will focus on bolstering family capacity to provide OVC with comprehensive care, a greater focus will be on identifying strategies for enhancing Household Economic Strengthening (HES) and in ensuring that economic strengthening activities and vocational training for older OVC and caregivers are adequately linked with market conditions.
The TBD partner will offer support to the community based mechanisms with the aim of changing gender roles between men and women. The partner will collaborate with the Ministry of Education at the regional level to support and sensitize schools on their role in making schools a safer place for children. The partner will also focus on identifying highly vulnerable children that have hitherto not been reached. TBD partners working in urban areas will provide services to street children especially addressing HIV prevention and providing linkages to care and treatment.
The TBD partner will continue to support capacity building of local partners. Specific areas of capacity building will include building their capacity to integrate best practices and lessons learnt in caring for HIV positive OVC and linking them non-facility service providers based on lessons learnt from the Muangalizi pilot project, enhancing capacity of local partners to provide quality OVC services and initiating quality improvement processes at the point of service delivery, identification and implementation of appropriate exit strategies for adolescent OVC, integrating HIV prevention interventions, promoting stronger linkages to Reproductive Health/Family Planning services as well as appropriate PWP messaging and interventions for HIV positive adolescents as well as building the capacity of local partners in collecting, storing, retrieving and reporting on, and analyzing data for effective program implementation.
This activity will result in multiple awards.
