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
THIS IS AN ONGOING ACTIVITY FROM FY 2008. ACTIVITIES LISTED HAVE BEEN INITIATED AND
WILL PROCEED DURING FY 2009 AS IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ACTIVITY
NARRATIVE REMAINS UNCHANGED FROM FY 2008.
TITLE: OVC Youth Employability
NEED and COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE: 10-12% of young people in Tanzania under age 18 have lost
one or both parents. Many, as young as 15 years old, have become heads of the household and are
responsible for providing food, shelter and clothing for their younger siblings. They take on odd jobs to
support their families and are at-risk of being infected with HIV/AIDS. To break the cycle of poverty and
disease, a combination of job training and placement, entrepreneurship and credit, life skills and health
education, would address the needs of OVC, 15-18 years and older OVC, 19-24 years. TBD should have a
successful history of integrating employability programs for OVC youth and been able to leverage resources
from public-private partnerships (PPP).
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: TBD will build on the International Youth Foundation (IYF) achievements of
supporting 400 OVC with the job training on entrepreneurship and life skills education. Many of them have
successfully begun business in tailoring, salon, carpentry, and others.
ACTIVITIES: This funding will be used to provide jobs skills, life skills and entrepreneurship skills training to
500 OVC (taking up IYF targets 200 Iringa, 200 Mbeya, and recruit 100 Dar Es Salaam) in FY 2008. The
program will also recruit an additional 100 OVC, at least 50% of which will be girls at Temeke municipal
which is among the poorest municipal in the Dar es Salaam region.
The sub partner will work with Most Vulnerable Children's Committees (MVCCs) and municipal director and
other local government authorities to ensure support of the recruited OVC.
Provide six months of training in courses such as ICT, carpentry, batik making, masonry, welding,
mechanics, small-scale trading, and tailoring, through existing vocational education training providers, in the
target areas.
The program will also integrate Life Skills development, which includes individual and inter-personal skills
such as self-awareness/self-confidence, communication, team-work, critical and creative thinking,
introduction to the world of work, and gender and sexuality awareness with the technical training.
Provide adolescent sexual and reproductive health education, including HIV/AIDS prevention, testing and
counseling
With guidance from their caregivers and program's social workers, young people will have the opportunity to
choose their career path. Those who intend to start their own business, trainings on entrepreneurship and
small business management, including topics such as business planning, marketing, buying, costing, stock
control, profit and loss, and loan management will be provided. Furthermore, they will be either provided
with micro loans, awards or will be linked to credit providers. Those who choose formal employment will be
facilitated with job and internship placement services. Beneficiaries will be assisted in job and internship
placement via employer's forum or referrals to career centers.
LINKAGES: The program will contribute to the implementation of the NPA. TBD and the sub partners will
collaborate with the following institutions to help in program implementation. It will be linked with VETA-
certified training centers that can provide specific job trainings. Credible microfinance institutions which in
addition to providing the loans, will also provide technical assistance to the beneficiaries. The program will
also link with national and local authorities especially the Department of Social Welfare and the OVC
Implementing Partners Group to share the progress of the OVC and collaborate on service activities. An
important component of this activity will be to link to the private sector through PPP, so as to leverage
funding and job placement and internship for trained older OVC.
CHECK BOXES: The areas of emphasis and population will be older OVC, ages 15 and older. These young
men and women are eligible for employment although at risk of being exploited due to lack of adequate job
skills. In addition, they are also at-risk of getting infected with HIV/AIDS. The target regions will be Dar es
Salaam and the rural and urban districts of Iringa, Mbeya, as statistics have shown that the highest HIV
prevalence and concentrations of OVC are located in these regions. Note that targets do not reflect the full
500 OVC served, as some of them are over 18 years of age, but vulnerable heads of household.
M&E: TBD will continue to participate in the National DMS. Information about beneficiaries will be available
to both the national system and at the local level. The M& E system will include the following:
1) A baseline assessment to gather demographic data on the participants and pre-test of knowledge and
skills.
2) A post-test administered after training is completed to assess changes in both knowledge, skills and
attitudes
3) Data on drop-out rate and course completions.
4) A final assessment of youth entrepreneurs and youth placed in jobs will be made. This assessment will
document types of businesses established, loan repayment rates, stability and profitability of the businesses
started, nature of jobs obtained, quality of the jobs in terms of stability, salary and benefits, and others.
SUSTAINAIBLITY: TBD will continue to work in improving the programmatic and technical capacities of the
sub partners. This includes integrating vocational, entrepreneurship, life skills and health curricula and
adapting to meet the needs of the OVC. TBD will seek to develop local alliances among the non-profit-
public and private sectors and integration of some activities to the local government authorities to ensure
support to meet the on-going needs of the OVC.
