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.
This is an ongoing Track One Activity. It is related to: USAID_HVAB_Samaritan's Purse Activity # 9391, SP's Field Support funded AB activity of $400,000 and USAID_HVCT_ Activity # 9256, SP's Community Based Counseling and Testing activity for $100,000.
In FY06, Samaritan's Purse (SP) continued to mobilize more community volunteer team leaders through its "Initial 5-day Workshops" that cover HIV, communication andhome visits. Monitoring and Evaluation continues to be an important component for all staff as 'spot checks' and frequent training reviews on data collection, reporting and data utilization are made.
This Track 1 funding will: 1) continue Samaritan's Purse's Mobilizing, Equipping and Training (MET) AB program in Zavala, Massinga, and Mabote Districts of Inhambane Province, and 2) allow for a MET expansion into Maxixe District.
Further Track One funding for this activity will allow for continued mobilization of churches and communities to advocate healthy behavior change and continued capacity building of communities, schools, churches and Youth-focused "There is Hope" clubs to strengthen social environments where AB behaviors are supported and normalized. SP will adapt its MET curriculum to both address concerns of already participating youth and to make the curriculum more culturally relevant (language, timing, visuals and context). A consultant will be hired to review and revise the curriculum, lead focus group discussions with SP staff and community members and observe and improve trainings.
SP responded to several local church and CBO requests for MET implementation in Maxixe, also site of the MET program office. SP had a preliminary meeting with the NAC provincial nucleo in early September and was given approval to expand.
In FY07, SP will explore the possibilities of creating and airing a youth focused radio show in partnership with Trans World Radio Mozambique. SP will use its own funding to carry out this radio component, which will be implemented separately from the MET program.
33 community meetings will be facilitated between community based volunteer teams (CBVT) and youth to share success stories in practicing AB, in practicing AB, identify obstacles to reaching the goals of their commitments, provide feedback on MET, and identify ways of sustaining AB behavior change for youth and other community members. In order to encourage community-ownership and ensure sustainability of the programs that MET has initiated, SP will register Community Based Volunteer Teams as independent CBOs and will continue to support their AB activitites. In FY07, six administrative posts will have CBOs formally registered with the government. MET's main emphasis area is community mobilization.
Key legislative issues addressed are Gender and Stigma. The MET program will continue to facilitate regular ‘community conversation meetings' on issues such as gender based violence, child sexual abuse and exploitation. Stigma reduction is woven into this activity when youth volunteers accompany community volunteers on home visits to PLWHA. Regular interaction with and service to HIV affected neighbors encourages stigma reduction while also bringing the issue of HIV closer to the young people's immediate lives. This community based activity targets children and youth, both in and out of school; men, women, PLWHA, OVC, community and religious leaders, teachers and community based volunteers.
To specifically address adults and higher risk youth and higher risk populations, a B-based curriculum will be developed or adapted from other partners operating in Mozambique. Behaviors for discussion will include multiple, concurrent sexual partnerships, transactional sex, cross-generational sex, sexual violence and coercion, alcohol and drug abuse, as well as other behaviors and norms identified by the communities. A two- part intensive workshop will train men and women of influence in communities and mobilize them to increase individual risk perception among community members and to promote healthy behaviors and relationships around them. Community forums for discussion, as well as support groups for men, women, and couples that are married or unmarried, will be
introduced. Activities focused on faithfulness will include information on the risks of multiple concurrent partnerships, and the importance of knowing your and your partner's HIV status as key to reducing one's risk through "B" behaviors.
