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.

The goal of this project is to deliver long distance learning based on a regional 18-month certificate program to community-based activists working with children and youth in the context of HIV, AIDS and poverty to promote good caring practices and quality psychosocial support interventions. The fundamental strategy behind this activity is the adoption and adaptation of an 18-month Certificate Program for Community Based Work with Children and Youth that has already been successfully implemented in the region, as evidenced by an independent external evaluation . The Program is offered as a distance learning course and as such, maximizes learning opportunities, both at the workplace and at community level, for activists with minimal formal education and training already working for and with children. As an accredited Program, it also offers learners pathways for career development. The certificate Program examines key trends, theories and approaches when dealing with children at risk, including introducing concepts of child rights and child protection. The course also includes practical skills that are needed when working with communities, families, youth and children, particularly in terms of pyscho-social support. The direct target group for this proposal is 160 government and community-based activists (with a target of equal distribution by sex ) who are already working on issues related to children (particularly OVC) at CBOs, NGOs, and FBOs, but have not had the opportunity to access formal training. It is anticipated that each activist will reach at least 30 children, resulting in nearly 5,000 children being reached with quality support services. The three provinces to be covered in this first phase are likely to be Maputo, Beira and Nampula
This activity will be implemented by a Public International Organization working in the area of Children Advocacy, UNICEF.

One of the critical success factors identified in the evaluation is the strong collaboration between University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) academic team, the African Centre for Childhood team, UNICEF, REPSSI and the local university/training institution hosting the program whereby each partner provides inputs per their comparative advantage to ensure a program that is of high quality in all aspects. Another success factor is the well-designed decentralized student support model whereby students attend regular and well organized mentor-led group sessions. The evaluation also found evidence that the program had well-designed learning materials, appropriate assessment, and responsive management. Therefore, the program is ready to be rolled out immediately.
All of these proposed activities are in line with the experience at the regional level, and also incorporate the aspects for attention identified in the evaluation. They are also evidence-based in that they incorporate the lessons learned during the pilot phase, which are in fact in line with the findings of the evaluation.
The partner is one of the key partners working with the Ministry of Women and Social Action in implementing a holistic child and social protection system to reach poor and marginalized children, including a focus on social welfare workforce strengthening. One of their main assets in this regard is the international and domestic expertise, comfort in dealing with partners at all levels, and a solid grounding in a human-rights based approach to programming.
