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: 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015
COP 2011 Overview Narrative
This is a new implementing mechanism which will be a follow on to the work of KAYEC Trust, currently a sub-grantee under PACT, delivering vocation training services to OVC and caregivers as well as psycho-social support to school learners.
KAYEC Trust is an innovative vocational skills training provider in Namibia. KAYEC uses a demand driven approach to economic empowerment that has been proven effective in targeting vulnerable OVC and youth caregivers of OVC with short courses in vocational trades. KAYEC trains up to 950 adolescents annually through short courses (six to 12 weeks) at its two training centers in Windhoek and Ondangwa. The most recent tracer study has demonstrated that up to 73% of KAYEC graduates are earning an income derived from their newly acquired skills, often through small enterprises. Their average income is N$ 1032 (US$ 138) per month, with which children in their families were supported.
1. The mechanism will focus on vocational training and HIV prevention for adolescents with the following goals: 1) to improve livelihoods of adolescent OVC and junior heads of households by providing appropriate market-driven vocational education and training; and 2) to provide adolescents with appropriate skills and self-esteem to protect their selves from HIV infection.
2. The interventions under this mechanism links to the Partnership Framework and the National Strategic Framework by employing evidence-based approaches to improve livelihoods for vulnerable populations and by providing capacity development for HIV prevention activity with vulnerable populations.
3. The interventions will target vulnerable adolescents, in and out of school, aged 12 to 18, as well as older youth caring for OVC in four to six regions, still to be determined.
4. Key contributions to health systems strengthening are the inclusion of HIV prevention education into vocational training for OVC. Namibia's vocational training sector is currently undergoing major reform and restructuring in order to respond to market demands for skilled labor and to address sustainability. This implementing mechanism will support institutionalization of HIV prevention education into vocational training.
5. Service provision to vulnerable adolescents and adolescent caregivers in vocational training cover the cross-cutting budget attributions of education, as well as economic strengthening.
6. The provision of vocational training by government and by the private service providers is set to become more cost-efficient due to current government efforts to establish a National Training Fund, to which businesses will contribute in the form of a national training levy. A number of development partners are providing technical support in this area, including the USG through the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA).
7. A comprehensive monitoring and evaluation plan will be developed.

ADDITIONAL DETAIL:
Artisan Training for Self Employment:
This program will provide out-of-school OVC, included child-heads of households, and OVC caregivers aged 18 24 with practical trade skills geared towards economic strengthening of HIV/AIDS affected households, including children in these households.
Competency based education and training (CBET) will be provided in 8 construction-related vocational trades as prioritized by industry and identified by the Namibia Training Authority (NTA) at KAYEC's two vocational training centers in Windhoek and Ondangwa, with additional courses to be offered in sites/community centers to be identified. Emphasis will be on increasing the recruitment of young women into vocational trades (currently 18% of admissions) to 25% at both centers.
All trainees attend an HIV/AIDS prevention and behavior change course as part of the vocational training.
A new focus is to strengthen technical support through the employment of a vocational training manager who will focus on industry-led curriculum reform leading to formal accreditation with the NQA and NTA. Private sector employment brokering will be increased to improve employment rates of emerging graduates. This will require the review and reworking of existing manuals and may require new manuals to be published.
Budget costs will include salaries for full-time staff assigned to the intervention, training materials, start-up toolkits, course manuals and all other associated costs.
Business and Mentoring Training:
Business training and mentoring support will be provided to at least 60% of ATSE graduates, as per KAYEC's business support and mentoring program (previously funded by the EC) which has shown to significantly increase the employability of graduates and led to improvement in household incomes.
The capacity of KAYEC's business staff will be strengthened for assisting graduates to more effectively locate employment opportunities by bringing the service provider (KAYEC) closer to the industry end-user (Employer).
Provision of start-up toolkits:
Graduates will be provided with start-up toolkits relevant to the different trades, which will enable students to market their skills effectively.
Monitoring and Evaluation:
Monitoring includes on-going supervision support of training quality and maintenance of KAYEC trainee database and tracking system of graduates after completion of their training.

KAYEC Youth Development Program (KYDP):
The KYDP targets 1,610 vulnerable in-school youth with age-appropriate HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, psycho-social and educational support. The program aims to equip children with the necessary resilience and skills to keep them in school and to stay HIV negative.
HIV/AIDS prevention: HIV knowledge and behaviour change communication, life skills covering value education and gender norms
Psycho-social support: enhancing social relationship skills, emotional support
Educational support: subject coaching, homework support, peer mentoring to support school learning
Activities are conducted four times a week after school, on weekends, and youth camps during school vacation. Activities are conducted in 8 locations (Ondangwa, Rundu, Otjiwarongo, Outjo, Okahandja, Windhoek, Rehoboth and Kalkrand), supported by 12 full-time staff, 8 Peace Corps volunteers, and 95 community volunteers (40 volunteers, 15 peer mentors, and 40 group leaders/school teachers). The program is coordinated with the schools of the beneficiaries.
Costs include salaries for staff, accommodation for Peace Corps volunteers, trainings and skills upgrading for staff and volunteers, home and school visits, and costs for youth camps.
