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 2012
Resource Oriented Development Initiatives (RODI) aims at improving the skills and competence of 12 local NGOs to implement, manage and provide quality services while ensuring that program activities adhere to national and organizational guidelines. RODI implements HIV/AIDS program in all four districts (Mpanda, Nkasi, Sumbawanga Rural and Sumbawaga Urban) and 52 wards of Rukwa Region, covering a population of 1.5M people.
RODI will continue with efforts to enhance local sub-partners capacity to manage HIV/AIDS programs, with a focus on sustainability.In collaboration with other stakeholders (LGAs, other government institutions, NGOs and CSOs), RODI will leverage USG support to offer quality outreach services in Rukwa region. In addition, RODI will continue to recruit community volunteers, integrate its plans into CMAC/WMAC/VMAC, and support and coordinate PHDP services among PLHAs (such as IGAs, support groups, post-tet clubs). Linkages and integrated HIV/AIDS services will be strengthened to ensure quality and utilization.
The M&E system will be improved to ensure quality program monitoring and evaluation. This will be done through harmonized and standardized data collection, analysis and reporting tools and quarterly performance reports will be shared and discussed during coordination meetings.
The program has been incurring high maintenance costs from a 15 year old Toyota Land Cruiser. Consequently, the purchase of a replacement vehicle is being requested to assist in monitoring program activities throughout Rukwa region.
RODI offers community-based HBC services to HIV-infected adults and their families in all districts of Rukwa region. Services are provided through sub-partners according to the HBC guidelines and using HBC trained providers. The components of the home-based care and support include physical, psychological, spiritual, social, and prevention services. Prevention services include couples HTC, adherence counseling, condom promotion, family planning and risk reduction in at-risk communities (fishing communities). A total of 9,136 clients reached is targeted for COP 2012
RODI will use COP 2012 specifically to :- Integrate HBC services and link them to other HIV/AIDS care, treatment and support services such as OVC, ART, HTC, VMMC and PMTCT;- Improve data collection, analysis and reporting through use of harmonized and standardized USG/URT M&E tools. Sub partners will be encouraged to have M&E units with trained focal persons;- Conduct quarterly coordination meetings to discuss and share program performance;- Strengthen participation of relevant stakeholders (LGAs, health facilities, CSOs, NGOs) to support the implementation of HBC activities through individual, small groups and community sensitization approach;- Support implementation of PHDP activities catering to PLWHA needs by involving PLWHA participation in planning committees and implementation of program activities. This aims to improve adherence and retention into care and support. In addition, sub-partners will be assisted to establish PLWHA support groups, post-test clubs and delivery of the Nutrition Assessment, Counseling and Support (NACS);- Support identification and implementation of small-scale IGAs to strengthen the economic wellbeing of HIV-infected individuals and their families. No cash will be given to clients;- Improve HBC providers skills through strategic in-service training, on-job mentorship and support supervision.
RODI, through its sub-partners, will promote abstinence, delay of sexual debut, fidelity, and reduction of multiple and concurrent sex partners to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. The HVAB program focus will be on couples, in-school youth and young adult men and women within the community and among at-risk groups (fishing communities). Messages will also address the reduction of alcohol use, MCP, and transactional and inter-generational sex as well as GBV and gender norms that fuel the spread of HIV.
RODI aims to reach 9,000 people through the HVAB interventions. At least one education session will be conducted every week to reach this target.
Schools, colleges and communities will be sensitized to participate in HVAB activities through individual, small groups and community messaging. These activities will be implemented in all districts in the rukwa region.
The M&E framework will be improved through supportive supervision, mentorship and strategic in-service training. Tools will be harmonized and standardized to improve quality data collection, analysis and reporting. Quarterly meetings to assess performance will be conducted for informed program implementation. All activities will be linked to other services such as VMMC, HTC, PMTCT, HBC and ART.
RODI serves a population with high HIV prevalence (4.9%) and managed to reach 86.3% of the target of 21,120 in FY2011. RODI sub-partners provide both static and mobile client-initiated HTC services in all four districts of Rukwa region.

RODI implements HVOP activities in all districts of Ruvuma Region. The target populations will be at-risk youth, alcohol users, mobile populations, specifically fishing communities and people involved in transactional sex. Although the magnitude and size of the populations are not well known, activities are aimed to address issues related to sexuality, gender and cultural practices that fuel the spread of HIV. RODI will spend approximately 80% of the HVOP budget to implement activities targeting mobile populations (fishing communities).
With COP 2012, RODI will:- Conduct community sensitization through individual, small groups and community peer education schemes to address socio-cultural issues and drivers of the HIV epidemic, including peer pressure, poverty, MCP, transactional and intergenerational sex, age at sex debut and alcohol use;- Distribute and promote correct and consistent use of condoms;- Address excessive alcohol use through brief motivational intervention (BMI) approach;- Support PHDP services in Rukwa and ensure participation of PLWHAs in planning and implementing activities as well as identifying and facilitating income-generating activities;- Support QA/QC and quality improvement by improving the M&E system through quality data collection, analysis and reporting.
