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
ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY 2008
SUMMARY:
This is a new award in FY 2008. This project will work to ensure that farm workers and, to the extent
feasible, their families access counseling, testing, care, treatment, and prevention messages and services.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of AgriAids is to address the practical and manageable aspects of HIV/AIDS on farms for both
emerging farmers, as well as commercial farmers. AgriAids will act as a "broker" between farms and service
providers, using its existing network, but also through identifying and setting up new partnerships.
ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:
AgriAIDS will carry out three separate activities in this program area.
ACTIVITY 1:
AgriAIDS will raise awareness related to the impact of HIV/AIDS and promote strategies to combat it,
amongst the following target groups: 1) farm workers, 2) commercial agriculture businesses and umbrella
organizations, 3) other NGOs, and 4) the Department of Health and Agriculture. This will be achieved
through the following sub-activities: 1) Awareness raising among farmers and commercial agriculture role-
players; 2) Building relationships with the Departments of Agriculture and Health; and 3) Building
relationships with other NGOs working in health and/or agriculture.
ACTIVITY 2:
AgriAIDS will develop and disseminate a comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment strategy for
the agricultural sector which will incorporate input received from workshops and working groups.
Dissemination of the strategy will be followed by PR activities, with specific focus on government.
ACTIVITY 3:
AgriAIDS will work to prevent new infections amongst farm workers through implementing abstinence, being
faithful, condom use, and other prevention (ABC and OP) strategies,on farms. This will be achieved
through: 1) identification of regional/district-based implementing partners to target farmers with information,
education and communication (IEC) messages regarding ABC and OP strategies, including tuberculosis
(TB) awareness, 2) provision of "edutainment" prevention activities on farms; 3) promotion of peer education
with focus on gender relations, and 4) supplying condom dispensers throughout agricultural communities.

AgriAIDS will work in FY 2008 to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS and implement strategies to combat the
disease among the following target groups: 1) farm workers; 2) farm owners; and 3) commercial agriculture
businesses. Working with other non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as the Department of
Health and Agriculture, AgriAIDS will work to prevent new infections among farm workers. This project will
work to ensure that farm workers and, to the extent feasible, their families access counseling, testing, care,
treatment, and prevention messages and services.
AgriAIDS was established to address the devastation of the impact of HIV/AIDS on farms and therefore
reduce the direct effects of HIV and AIDS on farm workers. This requires intervention on two levels:
-Direct: facilitating rapid access to information, voluntary counseling and testing (VCT), medical care, and
antiretroviral therapy (ART) for farm workers; and
-Indirect: lobbying the commercial agricultural sector to start viewing HIV and AIDS as an occupational
health threat and to encourage spending on care and treatment programs at the farm level.
In FY 2009, AgriAIDS will identify farms in specific areas with limited or no HIV and AIDS care and
treatment services. Additionally, AgriAIDS will identify regional/district-based medical service providers and
link them to farming communities. This will be achieved, in part, through the development of mobile care
and treatment interventions (where applicable).
In FY 2009, AgriAIDS will develop memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with farms and service
providers in order to create formalized relationships in order to ensure the consistent provision of care and
treatment services in farming communities. Results will include an increase in the number of project
partners (farms and service providers) with MOUs in place with AgriAIDS.
AgriAIDS will finalize a draft strategy on the basis of recommendations received from workshop participants
and through working groups. Dissemination of the strategy will be achieved through public relations
activities (agricultural journals; presentations etc.), with a specific focus on reporting and dissemination to
government entities. Results will include the following: 1) an increase in unified responses to HIV in the
agriculture setting; 2) translation of strategies into practical interventions at the farm level; and 3) the
approval/endorsement of strategies by the Department of Agriculture and/or Health at the provincial level.

AgriAIDS will work in FY 2008 to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and implement strategies to combat the
reducing the direct effects of HIV/AIDS on farm workers. This requires intervention on two levels:
-Direct: facilitating rapid access to information, VCT, medical care - and ART for farm workers; and
-Indirect: lobbying the commercial agricultural sector to start viewing HIV/AIDS as an "occupational health
threat" and encourage spending on care and treatment programs at the farm level.
In FY 2008, AgriAIDS will organize large-scale voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) days on farms in
conjunction with PEPFAR service partners. These VCT activities will use mobile providers as necessary.
Results will include increased access to testing services, as well as to referral for patients in need of HIV
care and treatment services.
AgriAIDS will work with our treatments partners to develop and monitor systems to ensure workers who test
positive enroll into care and treatment (when necessary) services. Results will include: 1) increased access
to HIV /STI care and treatment services, as well as TB services; 2) minimizing "lost to initiation" in farming
communities among farm workers who test HIV positive; and 3) an increase in female farm workers
accessing reproductive health services and/or PMTCT via links to HIV care and treatment services.
In FY 2008, AgriAIDS will ensure that adherence and counseling support services are available at the farm
level for those individuals in need of such services. AgriAIDS will ensure that referral networks are
developed and that tracking and tracing of clients is achieved and addresses issues related to loss to follow-
up and loss to initiation of ART services.
