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: 2008 2009
This activity is a continuation from FY 07 and has not been updated.
Implementation of the OVC program in Uganda started in 2004. Opportunity International is the lead agency
with UGAFODE and Habitat for Humanity Uganda as implementing partners for the OVC program in
Uganda. UGAFODE is a Christian Non Governmental Organization that was formed and registered in 1995
by a group of 8 indigenous Ugandans as a company limited by guarantee, not having share capital. It has a
seven-branch network that covers 16 districts of the country. It serves an active clientele of 8,471 by 30th
June 2007. UGAFODE LTD implements OVC project in five of its seven branches, namely Bushenyi,
Mbarara, Ntungamo, Lyantonde, Rakai and Rukungiri and we intend to maintain and consolidate the
existing sites for FY08.
Strategic Objectives.
The Program for Sustainable Income and Housing for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) in Africa is
aimed at addressing four strategic objectives namely;
•Expansion in provision of Micro finance, including credit, savings and insurance products to families taking
care of OVC.
•Accelerate provision of safe and healthy housing to serve the OVC.
•Provision of HIV/AIDS, legal rights, and business skills education to caregivers and OVC.
•To train OVC in apprenticeship skills that will enable them gain marketable or employable skills.
What has been accomplished?
SO1: Microfinance Expanded to serve the OVC
During the period under review, UGAFODE provided micro credit to 3,854 Caregivers taking care of 2,971
OVC.
SO2: Provision of Safe & Healthy Housing for OVC
During the period, HFHU served 120 OVC received shelter, 339 caregivers trained in HIV prevention,
malaria prevention, safe drinking water and public health.
SO3: Provision of training and education to families taking care of OVC.
During the period under review, 8,614 caregivers acquired HIV/AIDS positive leaving and mitigating skills,
business management skills. 107 group leaders trained as HIV peer educators to train group members and
2,950 members have been reached.
UGAFODE established partnership with other Non-governmental organizations doing development work in
Bushenyi district like Compassion International, HFHU and have formed an Alliance Transformation
Community Development Network (ACTD) to strengthen the partnership.
SO4: To offer an apprenticeship program for OVC to gain marketable or employable skills
During the period under review, 102 apprentices from Rukungiri, Ntungamo, and Ishaka were recruited and
trained in vocational skills like tailoring, Salon & Body care &others. During the period under review, 33
trainees completed and awarded certificates. Eight graduates received a sewing machine each and two
received saloon equipment to set up own businesses. This is sustained through revolving startup loans.
Key issues for FY08 Activity Narratives.
•UGAFODE will work with MGLSD and other ministries through the ATCD to share experiences and refer
care givers and OVC for appropriate services.
•In order to ensure sustainable income and safe housing for 5,466 OVC, UGAFODE will focus on expanding
microfinance through the provision of credit and insurance products to 3,644 caregivers, build and renovate

Apprenticeship program to acquire employable skills.
• Train 4,029 caregivers in HIV/AIDS prevention, care and mitigation, succession planning and inheritance
rights
• In order to strengthen linkages between HIV/AIDS services, the ATCD network will be extended from
Bushenyi to other districts of operation. UGAFODE will continue referring to clients to HIV/AIDS service
providers like TASO.
•UGAFODE will work through the ACTD network with the district authorities, community leaders and Non-
government organizations in order to integrate the existing food security, economic strengthening, and safe
water programs.
•The ACTD members agreed to contribute to sustain the activities of the network.
2. Contribution to Overall program area:
•Delivery of credit affords opportunity for client group formations facilitating the training of communities in
HIV/AIDS issues.
3. Links to other Activities:
•Other service providers through the ACTD network can easily reach client groups formed.
