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
This mechanism provides direct funding to the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare (MGECW) for activities and technical assistance (TA) to improve systems for service delivery to children and to strengthen the ministry to coordinate the National Agenda for Children (NAC). Activities will take place at the national and regional levels. The beneficiaries will be Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC). The project activities will improve protection measures under the Child Care and Protection Act, a new legislation in Namibia, and put administrative frameworks and training plans in place for its roll-out. These activities include an integrated approach to alternative care and support services for survivors of violence and abuse. Under this mechanism, the MGECW will also be able to access TA to ensure the Early Childhood Development Program has adequate support and administration systems. The MGECW will also establish procedures and an operating mechanism for the national Childrens Council, a high-level committee that ensures all sectors report on the results for children. The main collaborating partners will be UNICEF and the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria as well as local OVC NGO service providers.These activities are part of the Government of Namibias (GRN) strategy on OVC and will form part of the MGECW Annual Work Plans. The activities will be monitored as part of the MGECW quarterly and annual work plan, using existing monitoring and evaluation systems. This program is in line with the USAID GHI strategy in that it increases access to services for OVC. The mechanism will provide TA to the GRN to build its capacity to support OVC, to prepare for transition and be more cost-efficient over time. Vehicle purchases or leases are not envisaged.

The Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare (MGECW) is the host government entity which spearheads the national response to mitigate the impact of HIV on children. COP 12 resources will support the MGECW to coordinate line ministries and CSOs and to develop an effective accountability framework to ensure that different sectors work towards achieving the results set out in the National Agenda for Children 2012 - 2016. This will include the establishment of a high -evel Childrens Council, as provided for in a new child protection law which is expected to be promulgated in FY12.Specific TA needs to implement other components required to roll out child protection under the Child Care and Protection Act will be defined, with particular regard to capacity for monitoring and evaluation.USG resources will also be used to strengthen the social welfare workforce, based on the Human Resource Strategic plan developed by the MGECW with USG support. In particular, targeted measures will be taken to fill social worker vacancies and implement training standards for educators in early childhood development centers.
