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 HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) activities have been modified in FY 2009.
ACTIVITY 1: SADTU will train the school governing bodies on HIV prevention and treatment adherence to
create a supportive environment for staff and learners living with HIV and AIDS
ACTIVITY 2: Prevention messages in information, education and communication (IEC) materials will be
focused on, to support encouragement of alternative positive behaviors, to reduce incidence of concurrent
and multiple sexual partners, and to promote mutual fidelity and mutual respect of human rights in
relationships. SADTU will develop and distribute IEC materials with messages that promote correct and
consistent use of condoms in every sexual act in discordant couples and as additional protection for
circumcised males.
ACTIVITY 3: Gender sensitive activities in camps for boys and girls at regional sites will be conducted to
provide opportunities for key skills development, such as taking responsibility for oneself and reducing risk
behaviors. This will have the additional benefit of promoting access to continued education, resulting in a
bright future and HIV-free generation.
Activity 4: Conduct provincial Gender and HIV workshop for 300 young women leaders between ages 21-35
to address issues of HIV Prevention as they relate to gender, social norms, self esteem and human rights,
in skills building activities.
-------------------
SUMMARY:
The South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) project aims to reduce the impact of HIV and AIDS
by focusing on preventing transmission of HIV for teachers, their workplace community, and caring for
orphans and vulnerable children in the workplace. SADTU has existing national and provincial partnerships
with the Department of Education and was a member of the team that developed the National Strategic plan
with the Department of Health. SADTU has also established relationships with other HIV and AIDS
organizations around the country. This will ensure sustainability of program after PEPFAR funding. The
target population for these activities is teachers, their workplace community and primary and secondary
school learners.
BACKGROUND:
The HIV pandemic has created workplace environments that are not conducive to quality teaching and
learning for both educators and learners alike. Many schools have orphans and vulnerable children who
lack basic needs and therefore cannot perform optimally at school. Teachers often have to take care of
these situations themselves. Although some schools do have soup kitchens and food parcels for these
children, this does not address the learners psychosocial needs.
The school as a workplace is often plagued by high levels of stigma. This often results in educators
suffering silently and becoming victims of the pandemic despite high perceptions of knowledge of HIV and
AIDS. As a result many educators do not have the courage and support in the workplace to go for voluntary
counseling and testing, since knowing your status is not publicly encouraged. Consequently most
educators discover they are HIV positive when they start showing symptomatic illnesses that do not
respond to medications. By this time their CD4 counts are usually low and they can no longer function
optimally at their schools with compromised health. SADTU aims to address this by creating an caring
workplace environment for both learners and educators alike and focusing on HIV prevention and
increasing access to care and treatment services.
ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:
Activity 1: Training union leaders as peer educators in the workplace
The SADTU workplace program will seek to sustain peer education for teachers using union leaders, who
already have positive influence and recognition amongst educators and good standing with senior
management. IEC materials focusing on prevention, knowledge of HIV and AIDS, PMTCT and human
rights will be used to ensure that the peer educators can implement activities after the initial training. The
focus of the prevention messages will be a comprehensive ABC approach with a focus on the be faithful
message. SADTU will work, through the trained peer educators to increase community involvement, and
increase male involvement and awareness around HIV prevention, PMTCT, the role of male norms and
behaviors in HIV transmission. In addition, through community involvement activities, SADTU will ensure
the distribution of IEC materials to educators and communities.
Activity 2: Increase access in local languages to HIV and AIDS prevention knowledge
The SADTU workplace teachers program will target educators and learners through age and gender
appropriate group activities and community mobilization to increase knowledge around HIV and AIDS
prevention. The program will focus on addressing gender by reducing violence and coercion, and
addressing male norms and behaviors. In addition community mobilization activities will focus on the
reduction of stigma and discrimination by increasing knowledge around HIV and running community
activities that focus on stigma reduction.
Activity 3: Implement HIV prevention activities for learners
As part of their OVC program, SADTU will integrate HIV prevention messages building on the existing
school life skills program. The focus of these messages will be on AB. These messages will be carried out
Activity Narrative: by both youth peer educators and teachers.
These activities contribute to the PEPFAR 2-7-10 goals and objectives by increasing knowledge of HIV
transmission and the prevention of new infections.

Table 3.3.02:
According to the COP technical considerations, peer education activities now fall under this program area.
The activity has therefore been removed from orphan and vulnerable children program care (previously
care).
ACTIVITY 3: Thirty-six peer education support group facilitators and AIDS ambassadors will be trained on
support group formation and on the curriculum issues to be followed in support groups.
ACTIVITY 4: The South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) will establish 12 peer education care
and support groups in regions of high incidences of HIV infection. These will be organized for people living
with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) and/affected individuals to promote healthy living, care, awareness of and
access to treatment of opportunistic infections (OIs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), positive
prevention including partner reduction and consistent and correct condom use, being faithful, coupled with
treatment access and strict adherence through treatment buddies will be promoted. Risk assessments and
risk reduction processes will be organized to address members' needs. Harmful behaviors leading to
increased risk and compromised health such as alcohol abuse and casual sex without a condom will be
addressed. Information sessions on good nutrition and use of nutritional supplements will be promoted.
Ongoing counseling including voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) campaigns for family members will be
organized to promote acceptance, support of PLWHA and allow families to respond to health needs and/or
protect the health of other family members. Meetings will be held fortnightly and facilitated by peer
education facilitators and AIDS ambassadors.
ACTIVITY 5: Regional meetings for out of school youth.
ACTIVITY 6: To take control of HIV prevention in all types of sexual partnerships, open adult debates will be
held to encourage partner reduction, correct and consistent condom use, recognition of sexual minority
groups and addressing HIV prevention strategies available to those groups. Activities aim to instill the need
for co-responsibility of the others' health and family in partners for mutual faithfulness and mutual
knowledge of one's status.
ACTIVITY 7: Local leaders will organize in accessible taverns and sheebens (township alcohol hotspots) to
introduce condom use and demonstrate correct condom use and supply and maintain supply for alcohol
addicts.
ACTIVITY 8: In order to support quality assurance, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. peer education
facilitators (union leaders), support group facilitators, and orphan and vulnerable children caregivers will be
trained on inputs and outputs or each activity, and required outcomes and indicators for monitoring, support
and reporting processes. This will include:
-Establishing selection criteria for peer educators, caregivers and support group facilitators
-Selecting appropriate curricula and materials, that can be used in local trainings and implementation that
contributes towards achievement of objectives
-Reviewing of training and supervision approaches, including refresher trainings
-Implementing strategies for program monitoring using indicators, supportive supervision and observational
approaches
-All activities will be evaluated to improve the design, implementation, revision, messaging, focus and
relevance of prevention programming
- A monitoring and evaluation plan will be designed with data collection forms for each stage of
implementation per program area

by focusing on preventing transmission of HIV for teachers and, their workplace community. This includes
both a comprehensive ABC prevention program through peer education but also improve condom
distribution at SADTU regional and branch offices.
The HIV and AIDS pandemic has created workplace environments that are not conducive to quality
teaching and learning for both educators and learners alike. The school as a workplace is plagued by high
levels of stigma. This often results in educators suffering silently and becoming victims of the pandemic
despite high perceptions of knowledge of HIV and AIDS. As a result many educators do not have the
courage and support in the workplace to go for voluntary counseling and testing, since knowing your status

SADTU project aims to reduce the impact of HIV and AIDS by creating an caring workplace environment for
both learners and educators alike and focusing on preventing transmission of HIV for teachers and caring
for orphans and vulnerable children in the workplace. The target group for these activities is teachers.
ACTIVITIES and EXPECTED RESULTS:
Activity 1: Condom distribution
The SADTU workplace project will distribute male and female condoms to at least 500 regional and branch
offices. In addition as functioning as condom distribution points, each of the sites will provide educational
materials on HIV prevention including correct and consistent condom usage. The sites are easily
Activity Narrative: accessible and are frequently visited by teachers. IEC materials on correct and consistent condom usage
will be available in all relevant languages. SADTU will work with relevant government departments to obtain
free condoms.
Activity 2: Community Involvement
SADTU will work with trained peer educators to increase community involvement, and increase male
involvement and awareness around HIV prevention, PMTCT, the role of male norms and behaviours in HIV
transmission. In addition, through community involvement activities, such as sports and culture events,
municipal imbizos, Department of Education campaigns, youth conferences, road shows in schools and
community etc. SADTU will ensure the distribution of IEC materials to educators and communities.
The targets for the number of people reached through the comprehensive peer education program are
counted under AB.
This project contributes to PEPFAR 2-7-10 goals and objectives by ensuring access to male and female
condoms hence preventing new HIV infections.

teaching and learning for both educators and learners alike. The SADTU project aims to reduce the impact
of HIV and AIDS by focusing on preventing transmission of HIV for teachers and caring for orphans and
vulnerable children (OVC) in the workplace.
ACTIVITY 1: Establish school-based care and support for OVC
In collaboration wit the Department of Social Development (DOSD), the South African Social Security
Agency and the Department of Education, SADTU will work with schools to identify OVC and establish
school-based care and support centers to support these children. School-based interventions will be
established in two schools in each of the seventeen regions with FY 2007 funds. SADTU will ensure that
OVC are registered with the DOSD. SADTU will work with each school to identify and prioritize the needs of
OVC. This could include, but is not limited to, paying school fees in schools that require this, supplying them
with school uniforms, educational necessities not provided for, community gardens, and ensuring OVC have
access to social services through the DOSD. They will also build upon existing life skills programs to ensure
that HIV prevention messages are integrated into the OVC program.
ACTIVITY 2:
SADTU will train 1 caregiver per school in the 34 identified OVC schools.
Children's rights, first aid including universal precautions, HIV Transmission & prevention; positive living; life
skills; substance abuse, violence including sexual abuse, sexuality, study skills. Entrepreneurship skills,
health and hygiene.
ACTIVITY 3:
SADTU will establish a further 10 peer education support groups in regions to bring the number to 20.
These will be organized for PLWA and/affected individuals to promote positive living, care and treatment
access thus further reducing HIV transmission. Monthly meetings will be facilitated by the PE facilitators and
AIDS ambassadors.

----------------------------------------
South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) will expand counseling and testing services for
teachers, learners and their workplace community in three provinces and refer them for care and treatments
services.
SADTU project aims to reduce the impact of HIV and AIDS by focusing on preventing transmission of HIV
for teachers and caring for orphans and vulnerable children in the workplace. The SADTU will implement
routine access to VCT services in its events making it possible for union members to participate in VCT
without having to go to clinics or health centers. Partnerships are already in place with local public clinics
and mobile clinics. Any union member testing positive will be referred to the partner health facility for
treatment, care and support services. At each of the health facilities the SADTU project will support 2
additional community health workers trained in local languages to assist in fast tracking union members who
have been identified as HIV-infected at union events.
ACTIVITITES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:
Activity 1: Training of community health workers
17 community health care workers will be trained as lay counselors for VCT. They will be placed at partner
clinics in each of the three provinces. They will also offer VCT at union events and those who test positive
will be referred to treatment, care and support services at the referral clinics. Pregnant women will be
referred for PMTCT.
Activity 2: Workplace counseling and testing
At any SADTU event taking place, union members will have the opportunity to access VCT. VCT will be
conducted using the national protocol for testing. Community health care workers will be trained to conduct
VCT, and make appropriate referrals to treatment, care and support services. In order to ensure that
referrals are made, SADTU has established partnerships with health facilities in each of the districts/regions
where SADTU activities will take place.
Activity 3: AIDS Ambassadors
The SADTU project subscribes to the "greater involvement of people with AIDS" principle. As a result the
project supports people living with HIV to engage in project planning of union events and the participation in
HIV testing campaigns. These AIDS Ambassadors have a great impact on union events, including on
workshops aimed at encouraging union members to participate in VCT.
The SADTU project contributes to the PEPFAR 2-7-10 goals and objectives by encouraging educators and
union members to participate in VCT activities being conducted at union events. This ensures that more
union members are aware of their HIV status early, and can be referred to treatment, care and support
services timely.

Table 3.3.14:
Provincial coordinators will primarily be dedicated to monitoring and evaluation (M&E). Regional leaders will
be specifically trained on M&E, data quality and effective data use to guide program implementation in their
areas.
----------------
Technical support, training and financial support will be provided to strengthen the capacity of the trade
union movement to participate in the development of public policies and policies within the union structures
and at the workplace, in this case, within schools. Technical support and training will be provided via
workshops on ways senior school management, employers, senior union leadership and co-workers can
mainstream HIV and AIDS issues into routine workplace activities. Support will also be provided to develop
workplace policies and strategies on HIV and AIDS.
ACTIVITY 1: Capacity Building and Mentorship Program
PEPFAR funds will be used to train and establish a mentorship program for a large number of peer
educators, within the union. These peer educators will be provided with technical assistance to conduct HIV
and AIDS prevention education programs for fellow educators, and community members. Peer educators
will be responsible for the following key HIV and AIDS prevention efforts: 1) develop strategies to increase
awareness of HIV and AIDS, sexual transmitted infection and tuberculosis among union members; 2)
increase the involvement of unions in the development, implementation and monitoring of HIV and AIDS
workplace policies and programs.; 3) increase the involvement of men in HIV prevention efforts and in
efforts to combat violence against women; and 4) develop strategies to reduce stigma and discrimination
against HIV-infected members in the workplace; and finally, 5) develop strategies to promote healthy
lifestyles and the adoption of risk reduction behaviors among union members.
