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.
AVSI provides quality, comprehensive care services for OVC in collaboration with community development
committees, MIGEPROF and GOR. AVSI builds the capacity of CBOs to provide care and support for OVC
in their communities by identifying their needs and organizing workshops to improve management skills,
accountability systems, and service delivery.
In FY 2007, AVSI provided a menu of services, including education fees and learning materials, vocational
training (as needed), after school programs, health insurance, hygiene kits, psychosocial support, food
assistance, and recreational activities/outings to 2,231 OVC in four districts. In addition, training is provided
to 41 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 2008, AVSI's activities will wrap around PMI and other EP funded child survival programs as well as
strengthen its existing partnership with the World Food Program for the provision of food assistance to food
insecure CHH. AVSI will reach 2,992 OVC with a comprehensive menu of services, especially those
affected by AIDS. By working closely with community leaders and CBOs to identify beneficiaries they will
ensure that the services provided are consistent with the real needs of the beneficiaries. AVSI social
workers will conduct in-depth assessment of each OVC to assess their current situation and provide a
package of services tailored to their needs. Thereafter the Child Status Index will be used to evaluate if and
how OVC benefit from the services. AVSI will continue to take part in the Joint Action Network in every
district of intervention.
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. AVSI will train OVC caregivers, who include social workers and teachers. As
one of the most at risk groups, girl heads of households will be especially targeted for vocational training in
order to equip them with skills for economic self sustenance.
AVSI also works with communities to organize mobile tent activities in each community. These activities
include recreational activities for children, health education sessions for all community members (separated
for youth and adults), mobile libraries, songs, drawing competitions and dance activities. The aim of these
activities is to disseminate information about HIV prevention, care and treatment, as well as reduce the
stigma and discrimination associated with HIV and AIDS. 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. 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: wraparounds, especially for food and education; stigma and discrimination and
increasing women's access to income and productive resources.
