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
SABCOHA conducts capacity building with an emphasis on developing workplace programmes for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with 20-200 employees and other workplaces in South Africa. It includes activities in Prevention, Policy Analysis and Systems Strengthening and Condoms.
Background:
The South African Business Coalition (SABCOHA) will implement through the following projects: Vendor Chain Management, BizAids and Project Promote partnerships. The major emphasis for this program will be the development of a workplace program, with minor emphasis given to community mobilization and participation; training and linkages with other sectors and initiatives and development of information, education and communication materials. The target population includes adults (men and women of reproductive age), truck drivers, factory workers, the business community and HIV/AIDS affected families. The project will focus on gender by addressing male norms and behaviors, issues associated with violence and coercion and stigma and discrimination (all key US legislative issues).
ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS: Activity 1: Vendor Chain Vendor Chain Management will make use of the SABCOHA HIV/AIDS Toolkit methodology which has a component on workplace prevention programmes. During the capacity building of companies, there will be training of managers, steering committees and HIV Coordinators on prevention. It will be one of the major components of the program as it will cut across at all levels of the company. The approach used will include the education in terms of workshops, information in terms of materials which will be provided during the various sessions as well as various communication channels include audio-visuals. In addition, an assessment to determine needs and risk profile of company(gender, age, socio-cultural aspects) will be conducted. This will assist in determining how prevention programs can be tailored to meet companies' needs. Companies will also be linked to external service agencies for continuous support after the direct capacity building intervention.
Activity 2: Project Promote Through Project Promote the current private sector partners in the cleaning and hygiene sectors will receive support on IEC material and programme messages to be included in in-house HIV/ AIDS company training that focuses on issues such as the be faithful messages highlighting the significant risk of having concurrent partners as well as issues of stigma and discrimination within the workplace. The contract cleaning industry is almost 60% female and as such gender issues will also be covered in the materials provided to companies for dissemination. Current private sector partners of Project Promote combined employ over 30 000 cleaners. PP has also expanded to the higher education learning institutions which includes universities, technikons and colleges.
Activity 3: BizAIDS The Micro Enterprise sector in South Africa is enormous. Developed by the International Executive Services Corps (IESC) BizAIDS mainstreams HIV and AIDS issues within broader operational and strategic issues for micro enterprises. BizAIDS is a tested strategy in mitigating the economic impact of HIV and AIDS and other unplanned risks on micro-enterprises. In a 15 hour programme, at minimal cost to the business owner, they will acquire business management; health (HIV) and legal knowledge in managing their business better, thereby reducing risk and to ensure that to continue to operate in the face of risk and to generate income. The aim of the SABCOHA response will be to expand on BizAIDS Project as a core strategic intervention. The BizAIDS programme will have access to no less that 5000 Microenterprises per annum. On Average these enterprises have approximately 5 employees each with an additional 5 family members being influenced by the enterprise itself.
This activity will directly contribute to PEPFAR's goal of preventing 7 million new infections. These activities support the USG Five-Year Strategy for South Africa by expanding and improving quality AB prevention programs. SABCOHA will also be strengthening the provincial business structures to ensure that there is better collaboration between business sector and government at a provincial level. This will also promote and supporting monitoring and reporting of business initiatives at the provincial level.
