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: 2007 2008
This activity is funded through Field Support and is related to USAID_HVAB_World Relief_Activity #8232, the World Relief Track One Funded activity for $372,153.
This funding will allow World Relief to 1) replicate its Mobilizing Youth for Life (MYFL) AB Youth program into strategic communities along the national highway in Muanza and Machanga districts in Sofala province and
2) following recommendations from the OGAC Prevention TA Team's January 2007 visit to Mozambique, establish "B" focused behavior change activities addressing reduction of multiple, concurrent partnerships and increase of risk perception for adults and high risk groups in those two districts.
3) introduce a revised methodology of direct facilitation of the Choose Life lessons by peer educators in schools and churches.
4) incorporate MEASURE Evaluation's July 2006 project recommendations listed below.
Muanza and Machanga are PEPFAR priority districts with no USG AB programs. Machanga province is slated for increased USG supported HIV Treatment and VCT services in FY07. World Relief's MYFL program will strengthen the MOH's plan for integrated health networks by providing referral information to HIV related services in the area. Authorization from the National AIDS Council's Provincial nucleo and the Ministry of Education will be given before this expansion begins.
MYFL targets youth and those adults who influence them. Using interactive training and peer education sessions in a supportive environment, youth are able to build skills that increase self-efficacy to practice AB behaviors. World Relief's "Choose Life: Helping Youth make Wise Choices" values-based Abstinence and Behavior Change Curriculum teaches AB behavior through stories, illustrations and discussion questions and is currently being used in WR's existing Track One funded activity. Lessons are conducted in youth friendly environments such as after-school programs and churches and include HIV/AIDS, sexuality, decision making, peer pressure, changes due to puberty and family life. The MYFL program will continue to mobilize community participation to support safer sexual norms and behaviors by increasing perceptions of personal risk and addressing the normative and structural factors that place individuals at risk. Meetings and discussions are held through the Pastors' Network to stimulate local questions and solutions to address harmful norms that perpetuate risk. Parents, guardians and other protective influences are involved in parallel programs such as parent-teacher-student groups to increase dialogue between youth and parents. Theatre and role playing are examples of efforts to bridge the communication gap on sexuality and HIV between youth and their guardians.
Through its Track One funded ABY activity, World Relief Mozambique will cooperate with WR's International Technical Unit to develop supplementary lessons to Choose Life, focused on mutual faithfulness and partner reduction, to address the needs of older youth and adults. These lessons will also benefit individuals in MYFL's Field Supported Muanza and Machanga programs. Given Muanza and Machanga's locations along major national highways, WR will particularly emphasize reduction of sexual exploitation, incest, rape, including trans/cross generational sex in discussions with older youth and adults.
In response to MEASURE Evaluation's recommendations, WR will: a) supplement the Choose Life curriculum with material on STIs and alcohol and drug abuse. As requested by both trainers and volunteers, information and photos of STIs will be made available for these additional lessons; b) provide supervisors with additional training on facilitating adult activities (e.g., counseling skills); c) supplement Choose Life curriculum with visits from health workers who can speak about Counseling and Testing, STI services as well as visits from others who can speak about child abuse and psycho-social support.
