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.
This activity relates to OVC (7186).
AVSI will provide quality, comprehensive care services to OVC and build the capacity of CBOs to provide care and support for OVC in their communities.
In FY 2006, AVSI is providing a comprehensive menu of services to 2,209 OVC in six districts. This menu of services includes education fees and materials, health insurance, after school programs, hygiene kits, psychosocial support, food assistance, and vocational training (as needed). In addition, training is being provided to 29 CBOs to build their organizational and management capacity, improve their ability to successfully implement IGAs, and provide support and care for OVC in their communities.
In FY 2007, AVSI will continue to provide a comprehensive menu of services to OVC, especially those affected by HIV. By working closely with community leaders and CBOs to identify beneficiaries they are able to ensure that the services provided are consistent with the real needs and expectations of the beneficiaries. AVSI social workers complete an in-depth assessment of each OVC to assess their current situation and provide a package of services tailored to their needs. The program ensures that every child who is supported is cared for by an adult, either in the family or by someone in the community. At the same time, AVSI works in collaboration with community development committees, MIGEPROF and GOR in order to build the capacity of CBOs to improve their organization and management and successfully implement IGAs by identifying their needs and supporting workshops to improve management skills, systems of accountability, and service delivery. AVSI will also train OVC caregivers, which include family and community members, social workers and teachers. Ultimately, this approach of involving social workers, district authorities, CBOs and teachers enhances the community's overall ability to appropriately address the needs of OVC in their community. Because caregivers tend to be women and CHHs headed by girls are especially vulnerable, special attention will be given to including women in IGAs and vocational training for girls.
AVSI also works with communities to organize "under the tent" activities in each community. These activities include recreational activities for children, health education sessions for all community members (separated for youth and adults), traveling libraries, and song and dance activities. All activities are related to sharing information about HIV prevention, care and treatment and are designed to reduce the stigma and discrimination associated with HIV and AIDS in these communities.
In collaboration with CHAMP, AVSI will work to ensure that all OVC have access to appropriate HIV prevention messages and other HIV services as needed. In addition, general HIV prevention, care and treatment information will be shared with the CBOs receiving support under this activity through their regular meetings and capacity building activities. AVSI will work closely with CHAMP and other EP-funded OVC programs, and the GOR to standardize service delivery, reporting and data collection. AVSI will continue to organize quarterly meetings to oversee service delivery and ensure quality, transparency, efficiency and synergy of program activities with other implementing partners.
AVSI will use EP resources to leverage their other funding to expand ongoing efforts to provide education, health, economic and food assistance to OVC through a collaborative, multi-sectoral approach. Through a partnership with WFP, AVSI will provide food assistance to food insecure CHHs. AVSI will also work closely with CBOs to develop community gardens.
This activity supports the Rwanda EP five-year strategy of mobilizing and supporting local Rwandan organizations to provide community-based care for Rwanda's most vulnerable children. It also supports three key legislative issues: wrap arounds, especially for food and education; stigma and discrimination; and, increasing women's access to income and productive resources.
