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 goal of this activity is to mobilize businesswomen and women managers in the private sector in the fight against HIV/AIDS. It is anticipated that the Federation of Associations of Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania (FAWETA), which is the largest and oldest women entrepreneurs' association in Tanzania with 3,500 members, is expected to be the partner in this activity. The BizAIDS program, developed and widely tested in sub-Saharan Africa by the U.S.-based International Senior Executive Corps (ISEC), integrates prevention and counseling/testing promotion with small business development. The objectives are (a) to enable FAWETA to deliver the BizAIDS program as one of its services to women-owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and to women managers in the private sector who have interest in beginning their own businesses, (b) to train master trainers and to test and modify the program so that it will be a FAWETA revenue earning service for the organization by the end of one year, and (c) to increase awareness about how HIV impacts on the efficiency of SMEs and on the economic viability of the surrounding communities upon which SMEs rely to sustain their business.
This endeavor also will contribute to the Partnership Framework Goal 3: Leadership, Management, Accountability, and Governance by building the capacity of non-state actors at national and local levels in the response to HIV/AIDS. It will also contribute to Goal 2 by bringing to scale prioritized prevention interventions and enhancing the enabling environment though sustained leadership. This is a nationwide program that focuses on prevention and counseling and testing. This activity will stimulate the use of for-profit private sector financial and human resources for HIV/AIDS prevention, thus relieving the burden on the public system.
This activity leverages the for-profit private sector's economic clout, connections, and capacity to make things happen in a cost effective manner. As a result of this activity it is expected that FAWETA members will commit significantly more resources in the future to continuing the BizAIDS program and to HIV/AIDS prevention in general as they begin to realize how these interventions impact positively on their businesses. This PPP thus lays the foundation for PEPFAR's exit by marshalling the expertise and commitment of women business leaders and managers to addressing HIV/AIDS. FAWETA will be required to submit quarterly progress reports that document the results being achieved.
Women managers and business owners often confront stereotypes that they are best at being followers, not leaders. Furthermore, they frequently face expectations of colleagues, staff and family that their primary responsibility is that of fulfilling their role as caregivers, which is exacerbated by increased care demands stemming from the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Not only are women perceived as better caregivers than their male counterparts, they also bear the harsher impact of the epidemic with higher rates of infection that is biologically and socially linked, the latter again related to male attitudes and behavior. It is for this reason that the Federation of Associations of Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania (FAWETA), which is the largest and oldest women entrepreneurs' association in Tanzania with 3,500 members, will be implementers of the BizAIDS program.
The BizAIDS program will be tailored to meet the inter-related prevention, counseling and testing and business strengthening needs of business women and women managers. HIV prevention workplace activities will target the female business owners/entrepreneurs as well as employees at their workplaces.The four components of the BizAIDS program are:(a) HIV/AIDS Information & Workplace Training: This component provides health and HIV/AIDS information and emphasizes prevention, (b) Counseling & Testing: This entails the provision of information and referral to counseling and testing services to their employees and family members. (c) Business Planning: The emphasis is on the importance of responding appropriately to absenteeism due to employee affected by HIV/AIDS, decreased productivity of HIV infected employees, cross-training, asset management and planning for the future such as inheritance planning, will development, and succession planning, and (d) Legal Rights & Opportunities Assistance: This component increases awareness of the legal issues that business owners face regarding healthcare issues, particularly those related to the identification, hiring, retention and separation of employees with HIV/AIDS. It is anticipated that this program will become a revenue earning service that will be offered on a cost-recovery basis for members and at a nominal increased margin for non-members. Workplace programs will use quality behavior change activities (part of the BizAIDS program) and also draw from the EngenderHealth CHAMIPION workplace model programs, as relevant.
