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: 2010 2011 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
Improved governance, reduced corruption and increased transparency are key objectives of USG's program of assistance to the GOM, cross-cutting all development sectors, including health and HIV. Within this overall perspective, the police force constitutes an important component of the reduction of violence and preservation of law and order in the country. Every year, there are approximately 1200 men and women who are trained as police. USG is collaborating with the GOM to strengthen and increase the professionalism of the training programs for these young men and women, with the objective of ensuring that training leads to good policing and instills the values of discipline, respect for the law, and protection of citizens' safety and rights. USG is designing a democracy and governance (DG) program of support to the police which will reach all levels of the command structure and be in a position to influence norms and values throughout the system.
Based in the two provinces of Maputo and Maputo City, this DG program with the police force provides a unique and innovative wrap around opportunity for HIV prevention reaching police and new recruits. Although reliable data are not easily available, it is largely accepted in public health circles that HIV prevalence is high among members of the uniformed services in Mozambique, notably among the military, but followed closely by the police.
Largely comprised of young people, often far from home, the police force is considered a high risk population for HIV, and AIDS is thought to be the chief cause of death among the police force. In a 2005 CDC HIV/Hepatitis/STD/TB Prevention News Update, the Minister of the Interior stated that the 'AIDS- related deaths of some 1,000 police officers annually in Mozambique [were] denting its effort to deter crime'.
With the addition of moderate HIV funding to the larger DG program, it will be possible to collaborate with the selected implementing partner in the design of HIV prevention for the police to introduce key concepts of health and HIV, emphasize the value of prevention, and provide new trainees and their commanders with relevant skills and knowledge for HIV prevention . Furthermore, since the USG DG
activity will operate throughout the command structure, it presents a unique opportunity to reach the higher level officers within the police and identify influentials who can serve as positive role models for their colleagues as well as their subordinates. This activity will also build the Ministry of the Interior's organizational capacity to implement HIV prevention; de-normalize gender-based violence, whether it be within the ranks, between spouses, or towards commercial sex workers; and support the new law 29/2009 against domestic violence. The HIV component of the larger capacity building program for police will emphasize basics of HIV prevention, and highlight the key behavioral and structural drivers of the epidemic in Mozambique including unsafe sexual practices, multiple and concurrent sexual partners, and low and inconsistent condom use. The critical importance of knowing one's own status and and that of sexual partners and mutual disclosure to sexual partners will be prominent in the program, as will increased availability of testing opportunities and condom distribution and promotion. Gender relations and norms that influence risky behaviors and HIV transmission will be an integral component of the prevention intervention. Furthermore, as police are a first point of contact in cases of domestic and gender based violence, the program will include training and skills building within the police force to better equip them to deal with these cases. Activities will emphasize risks of transactional sex and sensitize police about gender-based violence in interactions with commercial sex workers. As this is a new and large initiative, needs assessments and monitoring and evaluation to track progress and effectiveness are priorities and will be developed in close collaboraton with the selected partner. This activity supports three of the Partnership Framework goals: reduce HIV infections; strengthen the multi-sectoral response; and ensure care and support for pregnant women, adults and children infected or affected by HIV in community and health and social welfare systems.
Every year, there are approximately 1200 men and women who are trained as police. USG is
collaborating with the GOM to strengthen and increase the professionalism of the training programs for
these young men and women, with the objective of ensuring that training leads to good policing and
instills the values of discipline, respect for the law, and protection of citizens' safety and rights. This
program presents an innovative wrap around opportunity to include HIV prevention. The HIV
component of the larger capacity building program for police will emphasize basics of HIV prevention,
and highlight the key behavioral and structural drivers of the epidemic in Mozambique including unsafe
sexual practices, with a strong focus on multiple concurrent sexual partners and transactional sex. An
overall assessment will be designed and conducted to gauge the needs for prevention among the police
force and the development of interventions for the police force will rely on formative research to
determine current knowledge, attitudes, values and practices among the different levels of officers. The
HIV prevention intervention will include training and skills building within the police force to better equip
them to handle cases involving domestic and gender based violence. The program will begin in the city
and province of Maputo which include a majority of the police force including ACIPOL, the Police
Academy.
Funds from FY 2010 will support a comprehensive prevention program for a population at increased risk such as the police force. USG is collaborating with the GOM to strengthen and increase the professionalism of the training programs for young men and women police recruits, with the objective of ensuring that training leads to good policing and instills the values of discipline, respect for the law, and protection of citizens' safety and rights.
The HIV component of this larger capacity building program for police will emphasize basics of HIV prevention, and highlight the key behavioral and structural drivers of the epidemic in Mozambique including unsafe sexual practices, especially low and incorrect condom use. An overall assessment will be designed and conducted to gauge the needs for prevention among the police force, and to the extent
possible, development of interventions for the police force will rely on formative research to determine current knowledge, attitudes, values and practices among the different levels of officers. The program will include training and skills building within the police force to better equip them to handle cases involving domestic and gender-based violence.
