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: 2008 2009
THIS IS A CONTINUING ACTIVITY.
Based on lessons learned from implementing this program, Project Hope has decided to discontinue
making loans to its beneficiaries. Rather, PH will focus on group savings and loans, building the capacity of
vulnerable families save and manage funds, and build wealth over time. PH has determined that its
beneficiaries are at risk to increased vulnerability created by debt. Targets have not been updated.
This is a continuing Track 1 activity under COP08 with no increase in funding levels over FY2007. The
FY2007 narrative below has not been updated.
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).
