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 2012 2013 2014 2015
This mechanism provides comprehensive HIV prevention services for the Ministry of Defense/Namibian Defense Force (MOD/NDF) to implement its HIV/AIDS workplace program, the Military Action and Prevention Program (MAPP). This mechanism is contributing to Namibians five year National Strategic Framework (NSF) and the Partnership Framework Agreement (PFA) and the GHI and addresses key policy and strategic issues related to sustainability and ownership of program by Namibians. The program aims to reach over 15,000 military personnel and civilians working at the 23 military bases and camps across 11 regions in Namibia. Having the military implementing their own programs through the trained peer educators, HIV/AIDS Unit Coordinators, chaplains and gender focal persons through the leadership of the base commanders will ensure that the mechanism becomes more cost effective. Ownership of the program lies with the Ministry of Defense/Namibian Defense Force. Main cross cutting issues include gender, alcohol, stigma and discrimination and human resources for health. The monitoring and evaluation plan includes PEPFAR indicators and is fully integrated into the overall US DOD M&E plan for assistance to the MOD/NDF.
SFHs contribution to the implementation of the Military Action and Prevention Program (MAPP) is to develop the capacity of the Ministry of Defense/Namibian Defense Force (MOD/NDF) to take full ownership in the entire implementation of MAPP at all the military facilities. As a result, SFH has trained various MOD/NDF military personnel and has, together with MOD/NDF, created Steering Committees at base-levels to monitor and guide the implementation of HIV activities at that level. The activities are designed to also address issues related to gender and male norms and behaviors in the military and promote the participation of women in activities at the bases because the military is predominantly male and women often feel shy to participate actively. This activity will continue to further strengthen the institutional capacity of the Namibian Ministry of Defense/Namibian Defense Force (MOD/NDF) to implement an integrated HIV/AIDS prevention program in the military through:
Training: SFH provides training to military peer educators, gender focal persons, chaplains, unit coordinators and base commanders in various aspects of HIV combination prevention approaches, namely 1) Military Base Commanders on HIV Leadership and responsibilities of providing oversight to the program at the bases; 2) New recruits on basic HIV/AIDS knowledge and skills that teaches HIV prevention and the importance of consistent condom use and HIV testing as well as male circumcision; 3) HIV Unit coordinators on program management and coordination, including monitoring and evaluation, and to better address gender, male norms and HIV/AIDS related issue, coercion, alcohol abuse, and stigma and discrimination within military settings; 4) Assist peer educators to conduct community outreach activities to continue providing HIV prevention messages; 5) Mobilize the military to participate in the Namibian Annual National HIV Testing Day, World AIDS Day, National TB Day and any other health related days to promote HIV prevention messages; and 6) Training Military Chaplains and their assistants on HIV/AIDS and spiritual counseling as appropriate. Assist peer educators and chaplains/chaplain assistants to facilitate interactive video presentations on combination prevention approaches at all military bases.
Community outreach: Procure and distribute military packaged condoms through military logistic channels and reproduce and distribute customized military specific prevention IEC materials and other HIV prevention materials.
Learning and sharing of best practices: Facilitate the participation of MOD member at Military HIV Conferences, the PEPFAR Implementers Meeting and any other one or two important national or international meeting/conference on HIV prevention.
