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: 2013 2014
The goals of this mechanism are first to target prisoners and prison staff with all HIV prevention, care and treatment services and second to build the capacity of Prison's services authorities for eventual running of wervices by the authority. Limited care and treatment services will be provided to the surroudning community based on exigency of critical HIV services.
Specific objectives:
1. Provide appropriate HIV combination prevention services including HIV education, HIV testing and counseling, linkage to care, male circumcision, STI screening and treatment, Positive Health Dignity and Prevention, ARV-based prevention, sexual violence itnerventions for both the perpetrator and victim, PMTCT, newly recommended HIV prevention innovations and appropriate evidence based behavioral interventions (EBI) to prison staff and their families, and to all prisoners as categorized in the prison population HIV transmission/acquisition risk groups; and also according to Kenya's laws and regulations.
2. Provide HIV care and treatment services, including tuberculosis and cervical screening, in accordance to Kenya's care and treatment guidelines to prisoners, prison staff and families and emergency services for the surrounding community.
3. Provide technical assistance and capacity building to allow program transition to Kenya Prisons Services institutions through incremental transitioning of tasks and funding to full transition by 2018.
In collaboration with Government of Kenya and other stakeholders, UNICEF will use results of the 2010 Kenya Violence against Children Survey (VACS) and other data on violence against children to inform the design and launch of a national and regional advocacy and communication strategy to promote prevention of sexual violence against children and service use among child survivors of sexual violence.
The key objectives are to 1) Create a VACS communication and advocacy tool kit comprised of tailored, tested messages and tools that can be adapted and used in varied settings with varied audiences to A) create awareness of the extent of sexual violence among children and adolescents based on data from VACS, and B) support prevention strategies and provide information on support services for children and adolescents who have experienced sexual violence. 2) Conduct a demonstration campaign and a short-term evaluation in a few selected areas. 3) Develop and implement a plan to disseminate the messages and tools to stakeholders in all the counties. 4) Develop a plan to monitor and evaluate use of the toolkit by stakeholders to inform ongoing activities and future communication interventions.
Advocacy and communication messages in the toolkit will primarily target children through the school system and through ongoing HIV prevention interventions targeting children and youth. The school-based campaign will reach at least 3,000 primary schools. Parents, policy makers, law enforcement, and healthcare workers will be additional targets for a broader mass media campaign to raise awareness and reinforce the messages targeting children.
UNICEF will leverage existing communication initiatives and partnerships to ensure the campaign 1) complements ongoing PEPFAR and non-PEPFAR supported work, 2) creates cost-efficiencies by actively engaging partners and stakeholders in using the messages developed within their own program activities and communication and advocacy materials, and 3) supports future transition of activities to the Kenyan government and local organizations.
