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
Project Concern International (PCI), along with two implementing partners in South Africa, has undertaken a
program with the goal to reduce HIV transmission by changing social norms related reducing violence
against women. The objective of the program is to reduce the prevalence of violence in both urban and rural
areas with an emphasis on poorer areas where gender power disparities are typically heightened. This will
be achieved through a large scale social mobilization program that will: 1) mobilize civil society and public
sector partners to combat gender-based violence; 2) create an enabling socio-cultural environment for
changing norms related to gender-based violence; and 3) support the implementation of multi-sectoral
activities which will achieve and maintain significant reductions in violence against women and related HIV
incidence
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
SUMMARY:
Project Concern International (PCI) won the Annual Program Statement (APS) award in FY 2008. PCI will
work with two implementing partners in South Africa to undertake a program to reduce HIV transmission by
changing social norms related to sexual and other gender-based violence against women. The objective of
the program is to reduce the prevalence of sexual and other gender-based violence in urban and rural
areas. This will be achieved through a large-scale social mobilization program that will 1) mobilize public
and private sector partners to combat gender-based violence; 2) create an enabling environment for
changing social norms related to gender-based violence; and 3) develop and support the implementation of
multi-sectoral activities, which will achieve and maintain significant reductions in gender-based violence.
This program will directly benefit the entire female population in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal
provinces who are at risk of acquiring HIV through forced sex, and it will indirectly benefit all (consensual)
sexual partners who could be infected by victims of rape. This program stems from South Africa's
exceptionally high rate of sexual violence, and the well-established link between sexual violence and HIV
acquisition. This program will lead to significant reductions in gender-based violence that accelerates the
progression of the AIDS epidemic in South Africa. It will put an end to the pervasive social norm of toleration
for sexual and other violence against women, and it will go far to restore their basic sexual and human
rights.
ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:
This program will undertake social mobilization in three sets of activities in support of the three anticipated
results including (1) working with key sector partners to help them understand, and take ownership of the
problem of sexual violence in South Africa; (2) conducting an overarching communications campaign that
will amplify activities implemented by sector partners, while unifying individual sectors' activities in a signed,
branded movement to end sexual and domestic violence against women; and (3) providing support to key
sectors and institutions in South Africa that will enable them to take actions to transform social norms
regarding sexual and domestic violence against women.
This program will also undertake to implement HIV prevention programs for adolescents and young adults
aged 10-24 through schools, church youth groups and other youth-serving settings. The geographic focus
will include localities currently served by Track 1.0 partners and other areas with unmet needs in youth
prevention. The APS objectives will be to delay first sex, increase "secondary abstinence," and promote
safer behaviors, including mutual fidelity and partner reduction, among young people. Scale-up of skills-
based HIV education, especially for younger youth and girls will include (a) community mobilization to
promote norms that support healthy behaviors among young people; reinforcement of the role of parents
and other protective influences in HIV prevention; and prevention of sexual coercion and exploitation of
young people.
PCI will give priority to HIV prevention among orphans and other vulnerable children, who are at
substantially increased risk of early sexual activity, pregnancy and HIV. Activities will incorporate a strong
emphasis on the vulnerability of girls and young women to HIV, and include strategies to meet their unique
prevention needs, for example, explicitly addressing sexual coercion, transactional sex, and sex with older
partners. PCI will undertake behavior change approaches that are evidence and theory-based, such as
rigorous, interactive curriculum-based HIV education that reflect internationally recognized best practices,
and to tailor these approaches to each specific setting.
---------------------------------
PCI: Project Concern International (PCI), along with two implementing partners in South Africa, proposes a
program with the goal to reduce HIV transmission by changing social norms related to sexual and other
gender-based violence against women. The objective of the program is to reduce the prevalence of sexual
and other gender-based violence in both urban and rural areas. This will be achieved through a large scale
social mobilization program that will: 1) mobilize public and private sector partners to combat gender-based
violence; 2) create an enabling environment for changing social norms related to gender-based violence;
and 3) develop and support the implementation of multi-sectoral activities which will achieve and maintain
significant reductions in gender-based violence.
Activities leading to these results include: a) assuring that key sector partners in government, civil society,
media, the private sector and education understand the impact of and are committed to ending all forms of
gender-based violence; b) developing and implementing a communications strategy that will unite individual
organizations' efforts into one unified, branded campaign reaching all sectors of society; and c) empowering
sector partners with resources and training to implement a range of local activities to end gender-based
violence. The Western Cape and KwaZulu Natal Networks on Violence Against Women (WCN and KZN),
with over 700 member organizations, will provide the technical know-how, experience, commitment and
leadership to end violence against women.
