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: 2010 2011
The TechnoServe project is managed by USAID's Natural Resource Management/Economic Growth (NRM/EG) Team. Focusing on high value crops that include tomato, pineapple and avocado in Tanzania's Southern Highlands, the TechnoServe project has four objectives: 1) Increase marketing opportunities for smallholder farmers in terms of volume and price by strengthening market linkages and increasing processor demand; 2) Increase sale-able volumes and quality of fresh fruit and vegetables from target farmers through improved sustainable methods of production, harvest, and post-harvest handling; 3) Strengthen the role of women in the value chain and increase HIV awareness and prevention; and 4) Enhance the enabling environment for smallholder fruit and vegetable farmers. It is envisioned that TechnoServe will collaborate with the EngenderHealth CHAMPION project for workplace HIV/AIDS activities and with the FHI ROADS project for integrating HIV/AIDS prevention and mitigation activities as part of workforce capacity development and value chain analysis.
This program contributes to the Partnership Framework goal on Prevention. The program will leverage three key points of intervention producer business groups, market services centers and processors to deliver HIV/AIDS education, stigma reduction, and increased access to services such as counseling and testing. TechnoServe will partner with local HIV/AIDS organizations to identify households that are affected by HIV/AIDS. These households will be targeted for recruitment into project activities, and link farmers with markets. Further analysis will be undertaken with OVC households or those affected by HIV/AIDS to investigate barriers to productivity on-farm as well as participation in commercial marketing. Once these barriers are well understood, TechnoServe will facilitate the development of appropriate techniques and less-labor intensive cropping strategies that can enable these households to both improve their nutrition through increased production of fruits, and strengthen food and economic security. TechnoServe will ensure that their Business Advisors develop and deliver training that will increase awareness of HIV/AIDS and prevention strategies, and reduce the stigma of infection among farmer and farm family members. For example, HIV training modules focused on prevention, mitigation and stigma reduction will be developed and delivered to employees of participating food processors each season. As noted above, TechnoServe will work closely and deliberately with other USG prevention partners to ensure that efforts are coordinated, and that TechnoServe has access to other partners' high quality materials and expertise.
Women's participation in and benefit from the project will be maximized, including through participant recruitment and group formation, establishment of group governance rules and processes, and processor improvements. In addition, TechnoServe will undertake a gender analysis in selected participating communities in order to identify gender issues, determine how gender relations will affect the achievement of sustainable results, and assess how proposed results will affect the relative status of men and women.
Linking PEPFAR programs to the NRM/EG program area will allow for a comprehensive approach to HIV/AIDS in the affected communities that these programs serve. PEPFAR will expand its reach to underserved populations, building upon NRM/EG partners' access to and partnership with rural populations. This wrap-around activity will leverage both human and financial resources as well as NRM/EG funding sources and partners, to complement PEPFAR goals and maximize the effectiveness of programs. A value-chain approach is used by
NRM/EG to develop production capacity and quality improvement in profitable agricultural enterprises and to ensure long-term market connectivity. By utilizing these platforms, PEPFAR interventions will also become sustainable, as integrated parts of these programs.
TechnoServe's project will be implemented in Iringa and Mbeya. Target populations include adult men and women in rural and peri-urban areas, including HIV/AIDS affected households.
Awards made under the NRM/EG program are subject to standard monitoring and evaluation protocols. This includes an M&E program design that will be part of the initial partner proposal and final cooperative agreement or contract. Partners are expected to provide quarterly progress reports which track data on established indicators under the Performance Monitoring Plan and Operational Plan, as well as to measure progress against established program goals. NRM/EG staff will conduct field visits and data quality assessments in collaboration with USG PEPFAR colleagues.
Expand HIV prevention activities into local Natural Resource Management partner activities. Efforts will focus on building local capacity (including working through agricultural associations), implementing HIV prevention workplace programs, and ensuring sustainability of prevention activities. Iringa and Mbeya regions.
