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
ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY 2008.
AVSI provides quality, comprehensive care services to OVC in collaboration with community development
committees, MIGEPROF and GOR. AVSI builds the capacity of families and 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 2008, AVSI is providing a menu of services, including education fees and learning materials,
vocational training, after school programs, health insurance, hygiene kits, psychosocial support, food
assistance, and recreational activities/outings to 2,992 OVC in four districts. In addition, training is being
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 2009, AVSI will reach a total of 2,875 OVC with the above menu of services. AVSI will continue
working closely with community leaders and CBOs to identify the neediest OVC and ensure that the
services provided are consistent with the real needs and expectations of the beneficiaries. AVSI social
workers will continue conducting in-depth assessment of each OVC to assess their current situation and
provide a package of services tailored to their needs. The Child Status Index rolled out in the previous fiscal
year 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 will ensure 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 250 OVC caregivers, who include community members, 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.
To reduce orphaned girls' and boys' vulnerability to sexual abuse, exploitation, and HIV, sensitization
sessions using AVSI's Value of Life and other modules will be scaled up. AVSI's social workers will
sensitize the communities, particularly local leaders and caregivers about inheritance and property rights of
OVC, and where necessary refer cases to other PEPFAR-funded partners that specialize in legal aid or
advocacy, Avocats Sans Frontiers and Haguruka, respectively. To help them assume responsibility for
heading households and cope with the inequitable burden of care of OVC, AVSI will provide women and
girls with the required resources and support. This assistance may be economic or in the form of advice.
AVSI will continue working 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 and AIDS, reproductive health, family
planning, OVC protection, and other community pertinent issues. 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 will the CBOs receiving support
under this activity through their regular meeting and capacity building activities. AVSI will use PEPFAR
resources to leverage their other funding to expand ongoing efforts to provide a minimum package of
services to OVC through a collaborative, multi-sectoral approach.
As part of the exit strategy, AVSI will assess personal projects of all OVC who have completed a school
cycle to determine whether the objectives set at the beginning of the project have been achieved. If the
objectives have been achieved, the OVC will be replaced with others in need of vocational training or the
completion of the school cycle. Criteria for replacing children will include completion of a school cycle or the
improvement of the household economic situation that would enable the parent/caregiver to support the
OVC. Vocational training graduates will be supported to start market and demand driven income generating
activities.
For those who may still need support at the end of the Track 1.0 cooperative agreement, AVSI plans to
transfer them to the Italian families-funded Distance Support Project (DSP) to ensure continued support
until project objectives for each supported child are achieved.
