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.
This narrative describes the activities of one of Tanzania's five Track 1 Abstinence and Being Faithful for Youth (ABY) partners and relates to other activities in Abstinence and Be Faithful.
The Adventist Development & Relief Agency (ADRA_ Abstinence and Behavioral Change for the Youth (ABY) project will target Tanzanian youth (10-24 years of age) in three regions: Mara, Mwanza and Kilimanjaro. The project focuses its efforts on scaling up skills-based HIV education with parental involvement; facilitating a community discourse on healthy norms and risky behaviors; and reinforcing the role of parents and other protective influences.
In FY 2006, ADRA spread AB messages to youth through a network of local partners and provided its partners with a training of trainers course, curriculum, and materials for a cadre of trainers from FBOs, CBOs and schools. Educators were then trained and able to share messages about abstinence, fidelity and partner reduction, as well as avoidance of harmful behaviors such as coercive and transactional sex with youth.
In FY 2007 the project will continue its work through a total of 111 partners (57 FBOs and 54 CBOs) to reach the anticipated number of youth and adults. The distribution of partners includes 20 CBOs and 14 FBOs in Kilimanjaro, 15 CBOs and 27 FBOs in Mara, and 19 CBOs and 16 FBOs in Mwanza. Through these partners, 100,000 people will be reached and 30 peer-led social and health risk prevention sessions will be conducted in all three regions. Regular quarterly meetings will be conducted with partners for feedback and sharing lessons and best practices.
The project will train a total of 664 people in 10 training sessions to equip them with skills capable of improving AB message delivery. Out of these, 129 youth from FBOs and CBOs in Kilimanjaro and Mara regions will be trained as core Trainer-of-Trainers (TOTs). 150 youth from partner FBOs and CBOs will undergo refresher training and second level training. Core TOT training will also be conducted for PLWHA and disabled groups. Peer counseling is needed to reach youth and adults with AB messages. This will be accomplished by training 60 peer counselors for youth clubs and 120 adult TOTS (90 of whom will be women) will be trained on parent child communication (PCC).
Folk media will be widely used in community outreach sessions. 60 leaders from theatre groups will be trained in life skills and participatory theater for development approaches in Mara and Kilimanjaro and refresher training will be given to 30 TOTs in Mwanza. To deliver consistent AB messages, media will continue to be used and a total of 500,000 people will be reached through radio and television programs. These programs will be produced and aired in collaboration with the new STRADCOM radio activity being developed. 60 self-powered radio receivers will be distributed to youth clubs to enhance ABY radio program listenership. An orientation workshop for 60 media personnel from Mwanza, Kilimanjaro and Mara will be conducted to assist media houses in sending relevant and accurate AB messages as well as improve adherence to the branding requirements.
Print materials will be produced to include 6,000 fact sheets, 2,000 brochures, 6,000 posters, 1,990 choose life ‘salaam' greeting cards and 10 banners. Furthermore, 20 partners in Kilimanjaro are expected to sign Memoranda of Understanding with ADRA for compliance purposes.
With this funding, 80 FBOs leaders will be facilitated to support in delivering of AB messages; 90 HIV/AIDS committees' members for FBOs will be oriented on deliverance of AB messages; and 45 opinion leaders for their advocacy support. In order to support youth friendly activities, the establishment of 20 youth clubs will be facilitated, in addition to conducting 24 exchange visits for 12 for out-of-school and 12 in-school youth. One exchange visit will be facilitated for leaders from fishing communities to Uganda, where HIV prevention in the fishing communities has been successful.
