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 BELOW ACTIVITY NARRATIVE WAS CHANGED IN APRIL 2009 REPROGRAMMING DUE TO
THE USD$972,630 FUNDING CHANGE FROM AED TO TBD**
The Academy for Educational Development (AED) prevention activities with the Ministry of Education
(MOE) have been focused on reducing the number of new HIV infections among teachers, learners and
their families, and mitigating the impact of HIV/AIDS on these persons. AED has been funded through an
associate award mechanism that is anticipated to end in October 2009. There is currently an external
evaluation planned to review the impact of development assistance on the education sector through USAID
Development Assistance resources. USAID's education sector program will come to an end in September
2009. As such, USAID/Namibia will work closely with the USG Namibia Team as well as chairs of the
Prevention and OVC Technical Working Group in OGAC to design an RFA that continues to support the
National Plan of Action for HIV/AIDS (MTP-4) and contributes to the USG/GRN Partnership Framework
goals.
With the decentralization of education services to regions, the influx of technical assistance and support
from the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and the increased emphasis on USG coordination with
development partners, USAID plans to seek support from the OGAC TWG co-chairs of OVC and
Prevention, the in-country USG team, and the respective Ministries to design a competitive HIV/AIDS
intervention within the Education system and/or with OVC that focuses on:
• preventing new infections among OVC;
• supporting early identification, diagnosis, and treatment of those OVC that are HIV positive
• preventing HIV positive OVC from re-infecting others
• targeting higher risk OVC engaging in transactional sex
. providing psychosocial support to OVC, especially OVC living with HIV/AIDS
Recent 2006/7 National Demographic Health Survey data showed an overall increase in the number of
orphans and vulnerable children since 2000. DHS data also revealed that teenage orphans and vulnerable
children may be at a greater risk of early sexual debut in Namibia because they may lack adult guidance to
help them to protect themselves. In fact, young women who are OVCs are more likely to have sex before
age 15 than non-OVCs. According to the Ministry of Health and Social Services in Namibia, there is an
average of 40 new HIV infections everyday in Namibia, 43% of which are amongst the 15-24 year old age
group.
It is critical for USAID/Namibia to program strategically, potentially build on a foundation of support to the
education sector, and consider the right balance of a combination of prevention interventions appropriate to
Namibia's generalized epidemic setting. USG Namibia must enter into a partnership agreement/compact
with the GRN. As such, investments made in OVC prevention/education over the next five years must also
be clearly articulated and coordinated with a reciprocal partnership agreement from the GRN.
The GRN held a mid-term review of their National Strategic Plan on HIV/AIDS Medium Term Plan III (2004-
2009) (MTP III), and analyzed the efficiency, effectiveness, relevance, equity, and inclusiveness of their
multi-sectoral response to the epidemic. Twenty three years after seeing the first infection in country, it is
clear that Namibia is beginning to see a feminization of the epidemic, decimation of its productive working
age population in-country, and growing prevalence rates of HIV infection among the female population
(young girls). Orphans continue to grow without the nurture and care of parents, and a younger generation
is faced with hard choices for survival. Recent antenatal clinic surveillance data points to a potential
decease in prevalence amongst youth, however the data is difficult to extrapolate and correlate to a decline
in overall prevalence across the country.
USAID/Namibia Mission will seek out technical support from OGAC and the USG Namibia team to design
the most cost-effective, high-impact intervention that will improve the provision of quality HIV/AIDS
prevention, care and treatment services to OVC. The final TBD partner will be selected based on an RFA
that reviews the current array of OVC and prevention programs, look strategically for programming gaps in
the respective portfolios, and analyzes data in country to target interventions that are age-appropriate and
evidence-based. The intervention will also have an programmatic evaluation component to guide further
expansion, and address key issues related to stigma and discrimination.
