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: 2007 2008 2009
This program activity also relates to the Salvation Army Track One OVC activity (#7801) and Peace Corps (#7850). As an OVC partner, this activity will link with the PACT Coordinating Implementing Partner Group (IPG) network for OVC (#7783) and the FHI OVC Data Management System (#7715).
For the past two years, the Salvation Army Tanzania (SAT) has been implementing the Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) Affected by HIV/AIDS Program under Track 1.0 funding. It presently works in 16 districts and will serve 15,207 OVC by March 2007.
With the requested Plus Up funds, the TSA will do full MVC identification in the Lindi region (three additional districts) and provide services to an additional 6,000 identified children and train 2,250 caregivers. The funds will also be used to purchase six computers to the district social welfare officers and their regional field supervisor to ensure that MVC/OVC data is entered into the national tracking system.
In FY07, the program will continue to work on activities funded in previous years, with a new focus on aligning activities more closely with the Tanzanian National OVC Plan of Action (NPA), using the national Data Management System (DMS).
SAT has three components: 1) to strengthen communities to organize community-based responses to meet the needs of OVC; 2) to specialize in psychosocial support for OVC and share tools and materials with other OVC service providers; and 3) to strengthen the economic security of OVC.
In addition to the Track 1.0 funding, these FY07 funds will be used to increase the coverage and access to comprehensive services for an additional 5,000 OVC in the district of Lindi. SAT will expand its scope of services to include education materials and fees, as well as nutrition and health support to the identified OVC/MVC in the sites where there are no other stakeholders providing such services. In other areas, for example, those with Peace Corps Volunteers, SAT will collaborate with current activities to avoid duplication. Moreover, the identified MVC households shall be supported through linkages with small income-generating projects like appropriate animal husbandry, animal banks, sustainable farming, food processing, etc. so as to improve their nutrition and standard of living. Finally, SAT will link with PMI on malaria prevention activities.
SAT will build on the organization's unique features to enable communities to construct community-based responses to meet the needs of OVC and others affected by HIV/AIDS. SAT will ensure that the GOT Most Vulnerable Children (MVC) identification process will be conducted in the districts in which they work—a process by which communities identify MVC and their needs. This will include the direct involvement of SAT in the identification process. SAT will also conduct training of the Most Vulnerable Children Committees (MVCC) in community counseling and psychosocial support (PSS) using the national caretaking skills package. The SAT preceded the GOT in developing community committees to address the needs of OVC, called "Mama Mkubwa" committees. The SAT will now work with communities to integrate the Mama Mkubwa activities into the GOT-designated Most Vulnerable Children's Committees (MVCCs) at the local level. The MVCCs will be coordinating support for OVC. The MVCCs will also identify resources and document the needs of the identified MVC. The MVCC shall maintain records of the identified children and report progress. The MVC records will be used to input into the national data management system.
As with all OVC implementing partners, the SAT activity will participate in the National IPG. In particular, the SAT will share their tools, materials, and lessons learned from the PSS and WORTH components of their work. As a member of the IPG, SAT will implement stigma and discrimination activities from the Stigma Tool Kit. Also, the SAT will implement the National Plan of Action for OVC and will help to populate the national Data Management System, which will be used for both national planning and local program management.
