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.

The project aims to improve the overall effectiveness of existing and new economic strengthening (ES) activities undertaken by USG/T IPs in Tanzania by:
1. Increasing the capacity of partners and sub-partners in implementing ES interventions;2. Building stronger linkages and alliances while piloting new innovations;3. Improving coordination and implementation of URTs multi-sectoral response; and4. Enhancing the evidence base of how ES and sustainable livelihoods programs can improve both economic resiliency of vulnerable households along with improving their health status.
The TA covers Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Iringa, Mbeya, Morogoro, Mwanza and Shinyanga regions.As IMARISHAs role is multi-faceted, the project builds capacity while sharing best practices and setting standards to help mentor Tanzanian organizations seeking to incorporate ES into HIV programming. IMARISHA works to demystify ES principles and concepts to forge a common language between health and ES communities of practice, contributing to more effective and comprehensive HIV programming. IMARISHA also supports smarter partnerships to improve and diversify ES activities, helping households move along the livelihoods pathway to improve their resiliency to economic shocks while helping to increase their incomes and assets. With USG/T prevention funding in FY 2012, the project adopts a core GHI principle of leveraging other efforts by working with USAID economic growth and natural resource management programs to mainstream HIV/AIDS programming and information. IMARISHA has an M&E plan and will report on PEPFAR indicators.
These funds will help procure two vehicles for daily logistics: one sedan for Dar es Salaam daily duties and one SUV for regional travel during field visits.
IMARISHA will continue to roll out its TA for economic strengthening and support package of services to USG/T HBC and OVC partners as well as LGAs. The support package of ES services includes a baseline assessment of households to better understand current ES activities, challenges, and barriers to economic improvements. The baseline information is essential in setting the implementation benchmarks, which are used to track progress on reduction of vulnerability and increases of resiliency. Other ES service components include customized and general training. Provided TA will be partner specific and addresses organizational needs. To leverage other USG/T funds, IMARISHA links with Economic Growth and Feed the Future (other USG/T initiatives) partners for those households that have the ability to participate in value chain activities. IMARISHA will grant between eight and 12 grants to sub-partners in an effort to pilot new technology and innovative models to improve household resiliency. Funding under HBHC will also go to complement the on-going work of developing national ES guidelines. The regions covered by this TA are Dar es Salaam, Morogoro, Dodoma, Iringa, Mbeya, and Shinyanga.
Economic strengthening (ES) is a key component of the OVC portfolio to ensure transition of USG/T OVC support from direct material provision to sustainable support. IMARISHA will work with various OVC partners and sub-partners to ensure ES activities are market driven, whether from a skills development perspective or from a business development perspective. Given limited experience among implementing partners in this arena, significant training will initially be required. One of the first four courses of training to be rolled out will focus on understanding the market, which aims at engaging IPs to undertake market analysis before planning different ES activities, particularly IGAs. IMARISHA will roll out training and TA related to agriculture, focused first at the household level, and then at more commercially-oriented ventures as beneficiaries demonstrate the ability to take on this type of activity. IMARISHA will also provide grants to sub-partners and other local organizations to pilot new innovations and activities in ES. Funded projects must demonstrate opportunities for scale and reproducibility. IMARISHA will also provide TA to IPs to determine appropriate exit strategies and ensure viable, long-term approaches are pursued. Finally, IMARISHA will provide best practices and develop an evidence-based model on different ES support packages to address the varying levels of vulnerability. This is a National TA with a special focus in Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Morogoro, Dodoma, Iringa, Mbeya and Shinyanga regions.
(Please see HVOP above for further details on this activity.)
DAI will support EG/NRM partners to ensure that abstinence and delayed sexual debut are part of youth interventions and that faithfulness/partner reduction is a key component of all behavioral messages. These messages are accompanied by referrals to clinical services, includeing HTC, VMMC, ART, and PMTCT/RCH. Where possible, these partners will also link their clients to youth and women's groups. Technical assistance will cover Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Iringa, Mbeya, Morogoro, Mwanza, and Shinyanga regions.
IMARISHA will work with USAIDs economic growth and natural resource management (EG/NRM) partners to incorporate and mainstream HIV/AIDS programming into their existing activities. This includes the integration of both behavioral interventions as well as linkages to clinical services. The technical assistance provided will help implement a baseline survey of clients/beneficiary groups before determining what particular issues should be addressed and identifying local HIV service providers who can appropriately serve the populations needs. The target populations for these interventions include youth, mobile populations and women who engage in transactional sex -- all of whom live in wildlife protected areas and other national natural resource reserves.
Approximately $30,000 will go toward Theater for Development, video spots, IEC materials, and interactive radio programming to promote a reduction in high-risk behaviors, and concurrently link individuals with existing health/HIV services. This will reach up to 30,000 (67%) of the population in Pangani. They activity will capitalise on the existing Pangani Radio and Theatre Group, to continue Theatre for Development and behavioral change work.
Approximately $10,000 will be used for social marketing to encourage and monitor the use of condoms, by promoting and monitoring the use of existing condom outlets. The activity will also tap into development projects to improve the livelihoods for at least 90 individuals in six villages in Bagamoyo and Pangani.
Fishermen are among the high-risk groups in Tanzania. $10,000 is being allocated to reach up to 360 (9%) migratory fishermen in Pangani and Bagamoyo districts. Partners will integrate fishermen-specific issues into the village HIV/AIDS and gender plans to reduce high-risk behaviors and promote HIV/AIDS prevention.
Through a peer program, approximately $70,000 will be used to reach 5000 smallholder farmers with HIV/AIDS prevention interventions. The focus will be on partner reduction messaging, and referrals and linkages to health and HIV services. Development partners work with smallholders farmers. It is important that HIV/AIDS prevention is part of their training and mentoring agenda.
60 schools and 1500 hard to reach adolescents with limited access to HIV/AIDS information and interventions in the Maasai Steppe area of Tangarire Manyara Reserve will be reached with school class discussions awareness and peer reviews, and linking development and prevention work with other health services such as HIV/AIDS testing and counseling, PMTCT and ART.
Given that these EG/NRM partners are not familiar with PEPFAR's reporting requirements, IMARISHA will work with each partner to ensure they adhere to specific deadlines as well as track and monitor appropriate outputs. In addition, partners will be expected to develop tailored indicators should the PEPFAR NGIs not adequately serve their projects.
Seeing as IMARISHA will be working with several EG/NRM partners, they will be expected to document lessons learned and develop case studies on successful examples of HIV/AIDS mainstreaming. This will be critical as wraparound activities will continue to play a major role in the implementation of the GHI Strategy.
