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.

Fintrac aims to increase agricultural productivity for smallholder farmers through improved horticultural production and access to markets. With regards to HIV/AIDS, vulnerable households are engaged in prevention and impact mitigation activities, which are aligned with the PF prevention goal of reducing the number of new HIV infections. As a mainstreaming strategy, Fintrac will help vulnerable households increase the productivity of their farms, which will provide income generating opportunities. Coupled with increased HIV awareness and referrals to clinical services, this approach will provide vulnerable populations with the resources to combat the threat of HIV/AIDS. Fintrac will, also, adapt some of the integrated approaches utilized by Tanzania Agriculture Productivity Programs (TAPP) that centers around four key intervention areas of HIV/AIDS: prevention, food security, HIV/AIDS workplace policies, and OVC care services.
Work is currently being done in Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Tanga, Morogoro, Pwani, Dar es Salaam, and Zanzibar. The target population is comprised of smallholder horticulture farmers, their families, and their communities. Fintrac will be working with local NGOs involved in HIV/AIDS and OVC interventions to ensure community efforts are maximized.
Cost efficiency and a transition strategy are centered on capacitating local organizations and horticultural workers to create their own HIV/AIDS prevention and mitigation strategies, mainly through developing workplace policies to combat HIV/AIDS at the organizational level. Monitoring and evaluation efforts will be done through progress review meetings that are based on implementation and results monitoring plans, which have been developed with partners and peer educators.
Fintrac will complement the on-going sustainable approach of the OVC program, which will include activities to support linking caregiver groups to value-chains. Younger OVC will be targeted through their caregivers who will facilitate establishing nutritional gardens that will serve as a source of nutritious vegetables for the families, offer income opportunities, and provide food security. Junior horticulture clubs will be created to increase interest and knowledge of the importance of horticulture to younger OVC. The clubs will also provide training and information on the value of good nutrition. This activity will be conducted while the caregivers are undertaking production activities.
Older OVC, aged 13 years and above, will be directly involved in horticultural production through the establishment of garden groups. The groups will be trained on various horticultural production techniques, which will develop the skills needed to establish successful horticultural activities, specifically in the areas of income generation and improved nutrition.
To ensure the project continues to build upon previous activities, Fintrac will provide TA to USG and URT sub grantees, CSOs, and ward officials. In order to strengthen the capacity of sub grantees to plan and implement HIV/AIDS interventions, best practices will be shared among sub grantees through conducting support visits and experience sharing workshops. Fintrac agronomists will deliver the technical support for the visits and workshops. Through consultations, the capacities of HIV/AIDS sub grantees will be assessed. Any gaps that arise from the assessments will be addressed by Fintrac's Health and Nutrition Manager. It is expected that with this intervention, 500 OVC and 300 vulnerable households, which includes at least one OVC, will be reached.
Among the challenges is the caregivers unwillingness to participate in production activities as a result of overdependence on direct support from donors. Targeted areas will hold community awareness meetings in order to address this challenge. The meetings will focus on the importance of effective involvement, commitment, and participation from the community with development activities. It is expected that with this intervention, 500 OVC and 300 vulnerable households, which includes at least one OVC, will be reached.
Fintrac implements its AB intervention through peer-to-peer and farmers group discussion programs. These interventions target youth smallholder famers working in agricultural plantation or farm plots. Through this peer-to-peer and farmers discussion program, a number of other health issues such as prevention of early pregnancies and STIs are discussed. Discussions also address barriers to remaining abstinent and being faithful.
Given that farmers, particularly migrant farmers, are considered a hard-to-reach population, there is great utility in integrating HIV/AIDS information and services into an existing activity to allow for a more holistic approach to reaching this population. With these funds, Fintrac will continue its peer education program, which in addition to providing predominately partner reduction messaging, also collaborates with other service providers to refer its clients to HTC, VMMC, and reproductive health services. Peer educators come from within the targeted communities and are trained to specifically address key drivers of the epidemic with their clients. Fintrac also ensures that partners are distributing condoms where appropriate. This intervention will take place in all of the regions in which Fintracs Tanzania Agriculture Productivity Program (TAPP) operates.
Fintrac will work with sub-partners to reduce transactional sex among smallholder farmers and farmers working in big agricultural plantations. About $50,000 will be used for prevention of transactional sex and it is expected up to 1,000 individuals will be reached. Fintrac will also ensure availability and use of condoms among smallholder farmers while economically empower farmers' group through their value chain interventions. Fintrac will link and refer individuals as necessary to other health/HIV services such as ART, PMTCT and reproductive health. Approximately $50,000 will be used to reach 1,000 individuals. Finally, through a peer education program, approximately $80,000 will be used to reach 2,000 smallholder farmers with HIV/AIDS prevention. The focus will be on partner reduction messaging and referrals and linkages to health/HIV services.
