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.

TITLE: Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS into Natural Resource Management in the Maasai Steppe
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) has been implementing community-based
natural resource management projects in Tanzania since 1990. AWF works primarily with rural and
pastoral populations who depend on the natural resource base for their livelihoods. These are the same
communities that most lack awareness of and access to health services related to HIV/AIDS. Because of
the strong relationships it has built, AWF is well suited to be of service to the fight against HIV/AIDS and to
serve as an entry-point to these often underserved rural communities.
AWF has been involved in HIV/AIDS related activities and outreach since 2004 including developing a
formal HIV/AIDS workplace policy and program, advocacy on an international policy level for the inclusion of
HIV/AIDS linkages in conservation, workplace HIV/AIDS sensitivity training, and the production of HIV/AIDS
awareness posters. AWF is committed to a holistic approach to community-based conservation, which
integrates sustainable natural resource management practices with other pressing threats to human
livelihoods, notably HIV/AIDS.
AWF intends to establish a partnership with USG/PEPFAR in FY 2008 in order to meet the HIV/AIDS
prevention information/service needs of the communities it works with through its community-based natural
resource management projects.
ACTIVITIES: FY 2008 PEPFAR funds will be used to:
1. Initiate social mobilization campaigns and outreach activities for communities in the Maasai Steppe. This
will focus on HIV prevention information dissemination and promote/facilitate linkages to HIV/AIDS service
providers in the area.
1a) Carry out a situational analysis of HIV/AIDS awareness and outreach in the communities of Esilalei,
Mwada, and Minjingu.
1b) Facilitate sensitization workshops to discuss and explore the interface between HIV/AIDS and natural
resource management in targeted communities.
1c) Perform pre- and post-evaluations to monitor changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior.
1d) Improve AWF's internal capacity, human resource, and workplace policies to address and mitigate
vulnerability to HIV/AIDS.
2. Support Mweka Wildlife College in developing a workplace HIV/AIDS program and in building a
meaningful HIV mainstream component into their curricula.
2a) Support Mweka leadership in developing a workplace policy and program.
2b) Support Mweka in integrating HIV/AIDS and conservation linkages into their curriculum for students.
3. Support Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks management and staff in providing HIV/AIDS
sensitization and training to parks staff. Park staff is a highly mobile community, often spending significant
amounts of time away from families, thus increasing their vulnerability to HIV/AIDS.
3a) Support park management in organizing HIV/AIDS training workshops for all members of park staff.
3b) Together with park management, identify additional interventions and future activities to reduce staff risk
of HIV/AIDS infection.
4. Support empowerment of women in Esilalei and Mwada villages as their vulnerability to HIV/AIDS is
exacerbated by economic dependency. This activity leverages existing economic strengthening activities to
provide a structure for HIV/AIDS community mobilization and discussions of gender and HIV/AIDS
vulnerability.
4a) Support vocational training for integrated life skills, HIV/AIDS, and economic empowerment.
4b) Support leaders of existing women's enterprise group/cultural bomas to take on a complementary role
as community advocates for reducing vulnerability to HIV/AIDS and poverty through income generating
activities and HIV/AIDS education.
LINKAGES: This project also will develop strong links to:
1) Three rural, pastoralist communities, two of Tanzania's most visited national parks, and East Africa's
leading conservation training college.
2) Government health officials from Monduli and Babati Districts, as well as Ministry officials at the regional
level, for resource, technical and service referrals.
3) Technical specialists in the non-governmental health community for resource technical support and
HIV/AIDS service referrals.
CHECK BOXES: The areas of emphasis were chosen as the project intends to target both women and men
of reproductive ages, with a particular emphasis on capacity building and empowerment of rural women.
The project will also target a private institution to assist it in developing a workplace and training program for
young adults who will be employed in the highly transient sector of natural resource and park management,
as well as existing park employees and managers at two national parks. Employees in this sector are most
often based in remote areas and are away from their spouses and families for extended periods.
M&E: M&E will be developed and tracked against baseline information collected. Activities and data will be
reported on a quarterly basis, and will rely on pre- and post-training assessments to monitor changes in
knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Ultimately, assessment data will be compared against AWF's internal
system for monitoring its organizational and conservation program performance, which is knows as the
Programme Impact Assessment or PIMA system. PIMA is designed to track AWF's performance on
specific conservation and development, targets and interventions, and informs adaptive management
strategies.
SUSTAINAIBLITY: AWF will invest in a baseline assessment and stakeholder analysis to ensure from the
start that the program meets the long-term interests of its target population and other stakeholders. AWF
will share findings from these efforts with stakeholders and participants as well as regional conservation and
HIV/AIDS specialists to promote follow up and continuation activities. AWF commits itself for 15 years or
longer in any region in which it works. This level of investment allows AWF to build strong relationships with
communities and partners in government in order to transfer knowledge, skills, and ownership of program
activities. All partners targeted in this project are standing partners of AWF and will continue as partners in
conservation in the future.
