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.
PEPFAR proposes supporting a post-rape community care project piloted by UNICEF. The project will have two components: 1) community-based management for survivors of sexual assault; and 2) changing social norms around gender based violence (GBV), particularly sexual violence (SV). The social norms component aims to advance and implement approaches to primary prevention of and response to GBV, especially SV against women and girls affected by conflict and disaster, which will include the development of evidence-based best practices. An important focus will be on strengthening positive social norms (including going beyond the typical approach of changing knowledge, attitudes and practices) that protect women and girls from violence and leveraging societal dynamics to change social norms that serve to hide or actually encourage forms of violence. The social norms perspective applied throughout the project will promote the establishment of self-sustaining social rules that are upheld by social rewards and punishments that will eventually be further reinforced though legislation, policies, and the concrete activities that support communities. This activity is consistent with the recommendations of a gender assessment from USAID to address GBV issues in-country. Healthcare worker trainings in selected location will also be conducted. The activities will be implemented in Juba. The target group includes victims of sexual violence, gender based violence and child headed families.
In a post conflict country like this the long effect of the protracted war has left many children with no parents or has lost at least one parent. In western Equatoria where the HIV prevalence is highest the problem has been made worse by the recent activity of the Lords resistance army (LRA).
The USG will work with UNICEF to support care activities with OVC. The goal of the activity is to develop and implement community based management of survivors of sexual violence and changing societal norms around SV and GBV. The target group will be foster families and orphans who live in the community.
UNICEF will work with local groups including faith based organization to support the orphans and the foster families with educational and nutritional support. To improve the evidence base UNICEF will conduct an assessment of and develop models for community based management of survivors of SV and GBV.
