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.
Since April 2005, Opportunity International (OI) and its sub-partner Habitat for Humanity (HFH) work together to address basic income and shelter needs of orphans and vulnerable children and the communities who care for them . OI provides loans, savings and insurance to individuals who are caring for vulnerable children impacted by HIV/AIDS through its Banco Oportunidade de Mocambique (BOM) branch networks in Manica, Sofala, Zambezia and Maputo provinces. Habitat for Humanity provides capacity building support to community groups and fosters the management of home construction projects by locally elected volunteers committees.
Opportunity International's efforts provide wrap-around programming for OVC. No direct targets are reported. However, OI provides essential services through working closely with other partner programs.
From recent OI 2006 data, lending to caregivers has reached 3,895 people and 53% of the loan recipients are women; thereby increasing women's access to income. There are three credit services that can be accessed by caregivers based on capacity and need. The first product is a Trust Bank Loan and is available to groups of 10 to 20 members. The Trust Bank Loan group membership is self-selected and facilitated by a loan officer. The second product offered is a Solidarity Group Loan which is designed for a smaller group, also self-selected, ranging in membership of 4 to 8 people. Finally, individual lending is offered to caregivers who have larger businesses and can afford larger loans.
All three service groups have bi-weekly meetings to discuss issues related to their loans, economic and social issues in their community and the impact of HIV/AIDS. OI has partnered with Health Alliance International and Project Hope to provide the curriculum and conduct the training on HIV/AIDS prevention and care for OVC for their members. The training is focused on increasing their knowledge of caregivers on HIV prevention, care and mitigation in order to strengthen their capacity to provide sustainable support and protection for OVC. In addition, caregivers are trained on succession planning with the aim of increasing their knowledge of property and inheritance rights, particularly of women and children.
In addition to the loan opportunity, BOM offers savings products to caregivers. These savings accounts provide caregivers a place to protect their earnings from their micro-enterprise efforts or additional income sources. The money set aside can later be used for emergency purposes and expenses related to caring for OVC such as payment of school fees, medicine, clothing and food. Furthermore, BOM has developed a credit life insurance product that pays off the outstanding debt of the borrower in case of death. This ensures that the needs of the OVC are not catastrophically disrupted by the death of a caregiver.
BOM is also investigating the development of a funeral insurance product for both loan borrowers and savers. The funeral coverage will provide for a decent burial for the OVC or the caregiver, in case of death, which the family would have otherwise not afforded. It addition it will keep the OVC from needing to raise money to cover funeral expenses. The policy will further protect the assets left behind for the OVC. In cases where the OVC is old enough and has been trained to take over the business of the caregiver, he/she would use some of the proceeds from the policy to continue running the business.
As a sub-grantee, Habitat for Humanity focuses on mobilizing local committees and/or community-based organizations to identify families caring for OVC and in need of improved shelter. In FY06, through the organizing of these families and community volunteers, HFH has constructed and/or renovated a total of 68 houses. Families and community members gained knowledge and skills in construction, sanitation improvement and inheritance planning through these efforts.
In FY07 OI will reemphasize their efforts to seek further collaborations with existing PEPFAR partners (Food for the Hungry, World Vision and Africare) in Manica, Sofala, Maputo and Gaza provinces to improve training for caregivers on HIV/AIDS care and prevention. In addition, HFH will expand its work to 7 communities, constructing and/or renovation a total of 172 homes for caregivers and OVC. HFH will continue to work with government and legal assistance programs to train caregivers about rights of women and children to inherit houses, and ways that families can protect their inheritance (i.e. legal
wills, agreement by community leaders, family memories and documents indicating plans).
