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: 2010 2011 2012
CompreCare, through its eleven sub partners will identify and provide a holistic package of services to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and their families. Activities will be focused on needy populations in under-resourced provinces and areas in: Gauteng (Tshwane Metropolitan area): Child Welfare Tshwane (CWT) and Christian Social Council North (CSC(N)) will focus on the OVC population in the following areas: Olievenhoutbosch, Mamelodi, Sunnyside, Eersterust, Roodeplaat, Pretoria West, Shosanguve . North West Province: Botho Jwa Rona, Progressive AIDS Project, Pholomodi Wa Sechaba HBC, Thibela Bolwetse, Winterveldt HIV will focus on the OVC population in the semi-rural areas of Mabeskraal, Mabopane, Mogwase, Hebron and Winterveldt. Mpumalanga: Luncedo LweSizwe HBC, Sizanani HBC, Thuthukani HBC and Zimeleni HBC focus on the OVC population in the semi-rural areas of Fernie, Wesselton, Leandra and Sheepmoor. The primary emphasis across all activities will be on capacity development of care workers, OVC and families. CompreCare's OVC care program will focus on the early identification of infected and affected children and families and ensure that their basic needs are met. Needs assessments will be done and
also link OVC and their care workers to appropriate government and community services. Community care workers residing in the target areas are recruited and will enable CompreCare to provide comprehensive and holistic care for OVC. Program activities will include general health care, healthcare support for ART, food and/or food parcels, shelter and temporary placement, child protection interventions, psychosocial care, social or spiritual care, general education and/or vocational training, economic strengthening and HIV education. Through its sub partners, CompreCare will offer OVC training and a service package to support the care workers. A training program for community based care workers is being developed and will be accredited by CWT and CSC for use throughout the program. As a result the program will benefit as care workers are often known and respected by the community. Care workers will be exposed to continuous retraining, expanding their capacity to render a more comprehensive service thereby improving the quality of the service. Care workers are well positioned to access the services of other community groups and service providers including schools, churches, clinics and community care forums. In addition to providing community and home-based support services, partners also manage community drop-in/wellness centres that provide care services, especially after school care, for OVC and their families. As the CWT and CSC programs are in an urban setting a comprehensive network of referrals is in place. Although the rest of the sub partners mostly work in deep rural areas, they have an established network of referrals. CompreCare will work with these partners in further strengthening their systems and the quality of services delivered. Quality of services will be increased by introducing the following: Education: Structured homework classes with the assistance of local schools, especially at the foundation level. Community outreach programs from the University of Pretoria and other institutions will be accessed to expand service delivery. Child Survival Activities: A card system that has been implemented to monitor routine immunization in cooperation with the various medical clinics and will be expanded to include the treatment of life threatening childhood illnesses. Emphasis will also be placed on the importance of the usage of safe water and hygiene. Food and Nutrition: Vegetable gardens will be established at the homes of OVC. These gardens can provide food for the family at a very low cost if they can sustain the garden. Excess vegetables can be sold for an income. Economic strengthening is a focus to many families, mainly women and girls, to prevent them becoming dependent on social security. Beading and "farming" projects will be initiated as well as other skills development projects in cooperation with local government and business. Care workers are trained to recognize signs of gender-based violence as well as sexual exploitation of women and children and unsafe housing conditions. Male OVC are encouraged to act responsibly and respect female OVC and women and are encouraged to play a positive role in their community.
Mobility of care workers is limited as they are expected to walk long distances, especially in the rural areas. Efforts will be made to access to public transport more cost effective and alternative transport, such as bicycles, will be made available. CompreCare has a comprehensive monitoring, evaluation and reporting plan, which includes a quality control guide that documents steps for collecting, collation and reporting of data ensuring that they are procedural. CompreCare introduced a program evaluation system that seeks to draw out and promote effective utilization of lessons learnt. The system includes bi-annual focus group discussions and other evaluation tools which will be applied to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The results of these focus group discussions forms part of the broader evaluation process to track program implementation and its further development. A database already being utilized by CWT will be rolled out to all sub- partners and will contribute to overall efficiency and accuracy of the MER system.
CompreCare's number of sub partners has been increased to eleven and the budget increased from FY2009 ($1,276,724) to FY 2010 ($1,725,000). Through its eleven sub partners CompreCare will identify and provide a holistic package of services to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and their families. Activities will be focused on needy populations in under-resourced provinces and areas in Gauteng (7700 OVC), North West Province (2950 OVC), and Mpumalanga (1500 OVC), serving a projected total of 12
150 OVC in FY2009. The primary emphasis across all activities will be on capacity development of care workers, OVC and families. Community care workers will be recruited from target areas thereby enabling CompreCare to provide comprehensive care for OVC within their localized communities. Program activities will include general health care, healthcare support for ART, food and/or food parcels, shelter and temporary placement, child protection interventions, psychosocial care, social/spiritual care, general education and/or vocational training, economic strengthening and HIV education. Through its sub partners, CompreCare will offer OVC training and a service package to support the care workers. In addition to providing community and home-based support services, some partners will also manage community drop-in/wellness centres that provide care services, especially after-school care for OVC. Some of the specific activities/services to be provided include: Structured homework classes with the assistance of local schools. Treatment of life threatening childhood illnesses and the importance of the usage of safe water and hygiene. Vegetable gardens will be established at the homes of OVC providing food for the family at a very low cost. Economic strengthening is a focus to many families, mainly women and girls, to prevent them becoming dependent on social security. Beading and "farming" projects will be initiated Addressing gender-based violence as well as sexual exploitation of women and children and unsafe housing conditions. Male OVC are encouraged to act responsibly and respect female OVC and women. Mobility of care workers in the target areas is limited and to be increased.
