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 HVAB (7230), HVOP (7229), and HVCT (7231).
The EP has supported the RDF since FY 2005 with activities aimed at promoting abstinence and fidelity among soldiers and their partners; increasing access and use of VCT services by providing mobile VCT services in battalions; addressing stigma associated with condom use; and promoting correct and consistent condom use among soldiers. To improve the quality of these services and assess their impact, more information is needed on the soldiers' behavior and their HIV knowledge.
To provide this support, the Director of the DOD HIV/AIDS Prevention Program will conduct an assessment by making multiple visits to Rwanda to meet with program staff, GOR officials, and beneficiaries.
The objective of this support is to assess the military population and the relationship between their sexual behavior, gender norms, and HIV knowledge and practice. The activity will focus on the level of alcohol consumption, condom use and gender based behaviors in the military. Primary data show that excessive alcohol consumption by a husband/partner appears to be a determining factor in the frequency of GBV within military families. Research has also shown that alcohol abuse not only increases the risk of violence, but also often results in sexual abuse and unprotected sex.
This activity addresses the key legislative issues of gender, particularly male norms and reducing violence. This activity supports the Rwanda EP five-year strategy by preventing transmission of HIV to high-risk groups and addressing gender relations in the context of HIV/AIDS.
The DOD Coordinator position began in FY 2006 and will continue throughout FY 2007. Responsibilities for the DOD Coordinator are broad and include management, coordination, and support of all DOD's EP activities in Rwanda. In addition, this funding supports costs for DOD technical assistance, which furthers development, monitoring and evaluation of new and existing programs. Additionally, these funds for the coordinator will support travel, training, workshops and equipment.
