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: 2008 2009
This is a continuing activity from FY 2007.
The overall goal of the ROADS Project is to stem HIV transmission and mitigate the consequences of
HIV/AIDS on vulnerable populations along major East African transport corridors. This multisectoral project
targets high-risk populations --drivers and their assistants, sex workers, members of the uniformed services
and stop-over site communities --with regionally coordinated SafeTStop messages.
The SafeTStop model is a branded flexible model that is hosted by the communities around the border sites
and other areas along the transport corridor. SafeTStops provide products, information and support for the
prevention, care and treatment of HIV/AIDS in these communities. This includes ABC messages, access to
condoms, counseling and support for HIV/AIDS, TC services and ARV information, referral and support.
The ROADS project also provides target communities with information on alcohol, GBV, food security and
economic empowerment through the LifeWorks Partnership. This Partnership helps to create jobs for
marginalized populations such as PLHIV, older orphans, and low-income women. This helps to secure the
long-term economic health of individuals, families and communities and thereby reduce their vulnerability to
HIV/AIDS.
Through LifeWorks, ROADS has enlisted the private sector to: 1) identify small business opportunities for
women and older orphans, including design and production of home and fashion accessories; 2) provide
source financing through development banks; and 3) give pro bono business expertise to help these new
businesses grow. A key feature of LifeWorks is that nascent businesses not only provide jobs for the most
vulnerable people in a community, but that the companies themselves fight AIDS through their own
corporate social responsibility platforms. ROADS provides TA in M&E and in community mobilization and
advocacy to an estimated 150 different local associations, women's groups and CBOs.
ROADS activities in Rwanda are currently in three sites (Kigali-ville, Gatuna on the Uganda border and
Cyangugu on the DRC border) with planned expansion in FY 2008 to three additional sites (Rusumo, on the
Rwanda-Tanzania border; Bugarama, on the Rwanda/Burundi/DRC border and Gisenyi, on the
Rwanda/DRC border).
FHI launched the SafeTStop campaign in November 2005 with participation from the three major transport
associations in Rwanda (truck drivers, mini-bus drivers and motorcycle taximen) as well as from the
Association of Truckers' Wives, the CNLS and the Ministry of Labor. In FY 2006, ROADS completed an
assessment on alcohol and HIV as part of a three-country study requested by the ECSA Ministers and has
since initiated programming to improve HIV counseling by including alcohol abuse issues; improving ART
patient enrollment uptake assessments; alcohol treatment options for individuals about to enroll on ART;
and a focused campaign with bar/lodging owners and religious leaders to reduce alcohol abuse among
truckers and other men. The ROADS project works in partnership with PSI and other health facilities to
provide mobile TC services.
In FY 2007, ROADS partners began providing care and support services to vulnerable HIV-affected families
in the three communities. By the end of FY 2007, ROADS will have trained 100 peer educators from the
associations and reached 40,000 individuals with AB messages. In FY 2008, ROADS will continue to
reinforce ongoing peer education and community mobilization activities to reach 85,400 individuals with AB
messages. 305 peer educators will be trained to promote AB. The peer educators will be out-of-school
youth, truck drivers, commercial sex workers, and other community members.

in the three communities. By the end of FY 2007, ROADS will have trained 470 peer educators from the
associations, including 10 sex workers and 25 truckers trained specifically to provide prevention messaging
beyond AB. They will have reached more than 13,019 individuals with ABC messages, information on STIs,
and TC referral and provided over 200,000 condoms. FHI ROADS is also working with PSI to ensure that all
condom outlets around the truck stops are stocked with condoms as well as identifying new outlets to open.
FHI ROADS has fostered a relationship with the Rwandan private sector and in FY 2007, linked over 300
low income women to handicraft production projects. In FY 2008, ROADS will continue these HIV
prevention activities, reaching an estimated 55,000 people with HIV/AIDS information and referral to
services.

providing care and support services to vulnerable HIV-affected families in the three communities through
continued links and referrals to existing OVC and PLHIV services in the communities. ROADS partners
began providing care and support services to vulnerable HIV-affected families in the three community sites,
including the training of 23 pharmacists in HIV prevention, positive living, nutrition and referral to clinical and
non clinical services. 1000 OVCs and 1500 PLHIV were reached in FY 2007. Howard University is FHI
ROADS's partner in pharmacy training, and has developed a referral guide for the pharmacists to use to
refer truckers and other clients to HIV clinical and community services around the border communities.
In FY 2008, ROADS will continue strengthening the role of pharmacies and drug shops in providing
palliative care for PLHIVs; strengthening the referral system for ART, opportunistic infections and nutritional
counseling and also continue its alcohol related activities. 100 palliative caregivers will receive refresher
training who will reach 2,000 PLHIV. New in FY 2008, will be the establishment of community farms, to
provide food to PLHIV. In districts where there is overlap, FHI ROADS will partner and link to other EP
community and clinical partners for OVC support, palliative care and treatment. This activity addresses the
key legislative issues of gender, violence, stigma reduction, and wraps around Microfinance/ Microcredit.
This activity also reflects the ideas presented in the Rwanda EP five-year strategy and the National

partners began providing care and support services to vulnerable HIV-affected families, including the
training of 23 pharmacists in HIV prevention, positive living, nutrition and referral to clinical and non clinical
services. 1,000 OVCs and 1,500 PLHIV were reached in FY 2007. Each of these beneficiaries also received
age & circumstance appropriate AB and/or C information for HIV/AIDS prevention. The project trained about
20 volunteers (teachers, community and religious leaders and health workers) to work with truck drivers, low
-income women and out-of-school youth. In FY 2008, ROADS will conduct a baseline assessment of OVCs
in the three new proposed project sites. The project will provide 500 OVC with a menu of services including
school fees and scholastic materials, health insurance, nutritional support, psychosocial support, economic
strengthening opportunities, shelter and protection. HIV risk reduction, alcohol abuse and GBV activities will
be introduced to older OVC. ROADS will train at least 50 caregivers in OVC care including nutrition,
psychosocial support, protection and IGAs.

information on alcohol, GBV, food security and economic empowerment through the LifeWorks Partnership.
This Partnership helps to create jobs for marginalized populations such as PLHIV, older orphans and low-
income women. Through LifeWorks, ROADS has enlisted the private sector to: 1) identify small business
opportunities for women and older orphans; 2) provide source financing through development banks; and 3)
provide free expertise to help these new businesses grow. A key feature of LifeWorks is that nascent
businesses not only create jobs for the most vulnerable people in a community, but the companies
themselves fight HIV/AIDS through their own corporate responsibility platforms. Funding for this partnership
is also included in the HVAB, HVOP, and HVCT sections of the COP.
In FY 2007, ROADS continued to provide technical support to a variety of cluster models (low income
women, fishermen, truckers, youth), building their capacity to institute and manage HIV prevention and care
activities in their communities. This includes capacity development administration of sub-agreements and
community mobilization and advocacy. The ROADS project is instrumental in providing technical guidance
around HIV in the transport sector, and has worked with TRAC and other GOR institutions to incorporate
alcohol and GBV issues into the national TC policy. ROADS worked with community leaders to strengthen
their role in the communities, as well as provided technical support to CBOs and FBOs to improve their
reporting and M&E systems.
As ROADS expands in FY 2008, the project will continue to increase the capacity of cluster groups to
implement HIV prevention and care activities as well as to strengthen their ability to function as an
organization. FHI/ROADS will conduct a program evaluation to measure the impact of the ROADS project to
date. This evaluation will help determine three key issues: 1) the impact of the cluster model on target
coverage and CBO capacity building; 2) the impact of Lifeworks on HIV prevention and care; and 3) the
change in psychosocial factors and behaviors among the target populations.
This activity addresses the key legislative issues of gender, violence, stigma reduction, and wraparound
with microfinance/microcredit activities. The ROADS project reflects the ideas presented in the Rwanda EP
five-year strategy and the National Prevention Plan by focusing prevention, care and treatment efforts on
high-risk, mobile populations.
