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 HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
ADRA's Track 1 ABY program will end in June 2010. To address recommendations from USG's monitoring
visit in March 2008, ADRA will strengthen its peer education activities in 63 primary and secondary schools
in 21 districts (three clubs per district). The selected schools will be grouped in threes, and volunteers will
make supportive supervisory visits to each school at least once per month. Additional peer educators will be
trained to increase the number of educators in the schools. Patrons and matrons will be trained to provide
more support and counseling to strengthen interventions. Peer educators will maintain attendance records
with names of participants to track attendance for each topic of discussion and those who complete the
curriculum. Each pupil/student going through the curriculum-based peer education program will be
encouraged to discuss the topical issues with at least 5 peers during the term. FBO partners will emphasize
reaching youth through multiple sessions. Registers will be distributed to track the sessions and document
those who complete the curriculum modules, using the Youth 10-to-15 and Pathfinder Honor Badge
Manuals. Youth Leaders and Trainers of Trainers (TOTs) will be reoriented to the program through
refresher trainings. Youth will be encouraged to have one-to-one and group discussions with their peers.
ADRA will intensify supportive supervisory activities through recruitment of three additional volunteer TOTs
to the cadre of existing 18 volunteers. Each district will have a volunteer to conduct supervision in three
selected schools/clubs. ADRA will conduct refresher trainings with all volunteers to enable them to provide
supportive supervision and mentor peer education clubs. Participatory community theater will be used to
facilitate community discourse on risk behaviors such as multiple concurrent partnerships, transactional and
commercial sex, low and inconsistent condom use, sexual debut and trans-generational sex, gender
inequity and GBV, and sexual risk taking associated with alcohol and drug abuse. TOTs from community
groups will attend refresher trainings to enable them facilitate discussions on these issues.
ADRA will continue partnering with 17 FBOs and 51 CBOs and collaborating with government ministries.
ADRA will conduct trainings targeting 2,533 TOTs to equip them with skills for improving abstinence and be
faithful (AB) message delivery, including: 1) five-day refresher courses for first level TOTs to update their
knowledge and skills; 2) five-day training for second-level TOTs on the Youth 10-to-15 and Parent-Child
Communication Manuals; 3) five-day training for Peer Educators from primary and secondary schools; 4)
training of matrons and patrons; 5) training of TOTs in participatory community theater; and 6) training of
FBO/CBO leaders on management, record keeping and resource mobilization to enhance sustainability of
AB activities. Partners will conduct community outreach activities to reach 100,000 people with AB
messages, through curriculum-based peer education in schools, churches and mosques and through
participatory community theater. Partner review meetings and project steering committee meetings will be
held on quarterly basis. All other activities listed in COP 2008 have been initiated and will proceed as in
the previous year.
*END ACTIVITY MODIFICATION*
The ADRA ABY project works closely with Faith Based Organizations (FBOs) and Community Based
Organizations (CBOs) to build their capacity to implement AB messages and to coordinate life skills building
activities. Since 2004, the ADRA ABY Project has reached over 342,600 people with AB messages through
157 outreaches such as community meetings, community dramas, and school debates. Fifty-two television
and 26 radio programs have been aired, reaching over 824,000 youth. Thirty-eight training sessions have
been conducted for over 2,200 facilitators. ADRA has also held young ladies soccer competitions in which
240 girls in Mwanza and 150 girls in Mara participated, and more than 15,000 people were reached. Three
thousand four hundred and seventy students have participated in the week of the African Child in Mwanza.
A volleyball competition reached over 3,000 people and a week of music competitions reached over 10,000
people.
In FY 2008, six major ACTIVITIES will be achieved: Training of Trainers (TOT): First-level training to 60
facilitators, second-level training to 870 facilitators from different FBOs and CBOs; refresher training to 60
first-level TOTs, training to 90 religious leaders, second level training to 90 theatre group leaders and
training to 60 youth from high-risk areas. Finalize training manuals for the blind in Braille; 60 completed
manuals to be printed and distributed. Community Outreach: 118 partners will be financially supported to
conduct community outreach activities, in order to reach 100,000 people directly with AB messages.
Trained TOTs will conduct outreach, and two resource centers will be established and equipped with
necessary materials, one each in Mara and Kilimanjaro regions. Mass Media: 52 TV and radio programs will
be produced and aired twice a week. The radio programs will be broadcast using local radio stations. Both
programs will reach at least 500,000 people. To promote ABY radio programs, 120 solar powered radios
donated by Freeplay Radio Foundation will be distributed among youth groups and schools in Mara and
Kilimanjaro. Community/Folk Media: Community theatre groups will be trained on the participatory theatre
(Theatre for Development) approach in order to reach people while involving them in dialogue or community
discourse. Risk reduction fairs and competitions: Out-of-school and in-school youth will be involved and
reached through fairs and competitions, as a method to reduce risky behavior. Specifically, sports, debates,
and exchange visits will be held. Young ladies football competitions will be conducted in conjunction with
national events. In Mwanza, the week of World AIDS day, for Mara, the week of World Women's Day, and
in Kilimanjaro, and the week of the African child will be used for ladies soccer competitions. Easter week will
be used for "Choose Life" Choir competitions, while a week of Maulid (festival celebrating for Prophet
Mohamed's birth) for Kaswida (Muslim music festival) competitions will be utilized. Secondary school peer
educators will conduct inter-school debates and discussions on abstinence as the ideal approach to HIV
prevention among youths. Behavior Change Communication: Different promotional materials will be
adopted or produced to support community outreaches, media campaigns, fairs, and competitions. IEC
materials to be adopted or produced include 30,000 fact sheets, 12,000 posters, 4,000 t-shirts for TOTs and
theatre groups, five banners, 5,000 stickers, and 100,000 "Choose Life" salaam club greeting cards. The
"Caravan of Hope" event (a week long youth activity where youth meet and discuss their issues and arrange
walks to raise awareness on various issues of concern in the community) and "Choose Life" events will be
held in Kilimanjaro. School children participating in this project will create drawings to submit in a nationwide
competition, with the winner's picture to be included in a mural painting.
Activity Narrative: LINKAGES: The project links with other USG PEPFAR projects such as Family Health International (FHI),
TACARE, International Youth Foundation (IYF), and the African Medical Research Foundation (AMREF).
Collaboration and networking will include project staff participating in training of facilitators; sharing of
information; Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials; and referrals of youth for services
such as voluntary counseling and testing (VCT). Sexually active youth are encouraged to adopt secondary
abstinence are also linked with AMREF for condoms and VCT services.
M&E: In accordance with the PEPFAR reporting requirements and guidelines, ADRA will use program
monitoring indicators (process) to track key grant-supported activities and use of project level outcome
indicators. CBO and FBO activities will be monitored through regular reports and quarterly TOT meetings
where implementation challenges and lessons learned will be documented and discussed to improve
implementation. General information on media-based activities will be tracked by the media technical
advisor in collaboration with the M&E coordinator. This will include number of programs developed and
aired (media station record), type/target of IEC materials adapted (distribution records), type and target of
curriculum adapted, and other educational materials used. Partner volunteer activities will be supervised
and monitored by the project behavior change specialist officers to ensure that activities are implemented
as detailed in work plans, and partners will be expected to provide monthly reports detailing the activities
conducted. Quarterly review meetings will be conducted to review and address lessons learned and
challenges encountered by partner volunteers during the implementation period. Semi-annual and annual
reports will be prepared and sent to USAID CTO in Washington and the local USAID mission.
CHECK BOXES: Abstinence among youth both in- and out-of-school, aged 10 - 24 years who are not
married and "Be Faithful" for those already married. A total of 100,000 youth to be reached directly with AB
messages and 500,000 people indirectly reached via media. The project also works with organizations of
PLWHA as facilitators and agents of change for stigma reduction.
SUSTAINAIBLITY: The project builds the capacity of partners in the area of HIV prevention among youth.
The trained TOTs work within partners' systems of operation, strengthening existing systems of operation
instead of inventing new ones. The approach has proven to be sustainable, since partners currently
contribute towards implementation costs, while others implement planned activities entirely on their own,
without depending on project funding. The partners' main contributions are food and accommodation during
training events and community outreach events to their members and the community at large.
