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.
National Association of Child Care Workers (NACCW) will strengthen the Social Welfare Workforce through implementing and overseeing training of Social Workers; Social Auxiliary Workers and Child and Youth Care Workers (CYCW). The Childrens Act went into full effect in 2010 and its full implementation will require further diversification of the roles that make up the social welfare workforce, substantial expansion of the size of the workforce, and further development of its knowledge. South Africa is currently experiencing an acute shortage of social services professionals.
The overall goal is to strengthen services to children, families, and communities through social workforce strengthening. NACCW will implement and facilitate training of 30 social workers in a 4 year degree program; training of 500 Social Auxiliary Workers and 1,000 CYCW over four years. NACCW is recognized by South African Council for Social Service Professions (SACSSP) and the Social Workers who completes the Degree as well Social Auxiliary Workers and CYCW will be registered with SACSSP. NACCW will work with institutions of higher education, the Department of Social Development (DSD), and NACCW member organizations in all nine provinces to mentor and build skills. It is envisaged that implementation will be staggered across provinces and priority geographic areas will be rural areas and where DSD service points are not present. This project is in line with the DSD Strategic Plan 2010 2015, which emphasizes retention and recruitment of social service professionals at appropriate levels. The training is aligned to the Partnership Framework.
The National Association of Child Care Workers (NACCW) will strengthen the Social Welfare Workforce through implementing and overseeing training of Social Workers; Social Auxiliary Workers and Child and Youth Care Workers (CYCW). NACCWs efforts will expand and strengthen the human capacity of the South African social services for children orphaned as a result of HIV and AIDS. This training and mentoring activity will be implemented by NACCW to increase the number and the quality of social auxiliary workers. NACCW will recruit, train, support, supervise and mentor 500 social auxiliary workers, 1000 CYCWs and 30 social workers to complete the required accredited training over the next 4 years. NACCW focuses on provision of specialized, professional training which is recognized by the South African Council for Social Service Professions and accredited with Health and Welfare Sector Education and Training Authority (HWSETA). The program will be implemented through a comprehensive partnership with relevant South African higher educational institutions and the Department of Social Development. NACCW provides a broad based Child and Youth Care Worker (CYCW) training in all nine provinces of South Africa. The NACCW CYCW training is aligned to the Partnership Framework Goal 3 (Strengthen the effectiveness of the HIV and TB response system) and Objective 3.1 (Strengthen and improve access to institutions and services, especially primary institutions). NACCW will purchase two vehicles with PEPFAR funds for use in project activities, including mentoring and monitoring site visits as well as dissemination events. The total estimated amount for the two vehicles is $60,000.00.
