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 Peace Corps Uganda Emergency Plan program supports the USG Strategy of the Emergency Plan
(the EP) for Uganda. By supporting the EP Strategy Peace Corps Uganda contributes to the Uganda
National Strategic Plan (NSP) for HIV/AIDS, and, in turn, to the goals and objectives of our partner
organizations which are hosting Volunteers. The program is designed so that Volunteers are closely
engaged with a community through one or more hosting organizations, providing technical assistance for
capacity building, and developing close personal relationships necessary for effective innovation in
underserved areas. The EP allows Peace Corps Uganda to strengthen community and Volunteer HIV/AIDS
expertise and service delivery, and to support highly focused community organizations in a variety of
HIV/AIDS functions.
Peace Corps Uganda has been involved with PEPFAR activities since its inception in Uganda in FY04.
From FY 2006 to date, 55 PEPFAR-funded two year Volunteers, have been added to Peace Corps
Uganda's portfolio and placed with prevention and care programs. Through these Volunteers and ongoing
training and small project support activities, Peace Corps was able to strengthen community and Volunteer
HIV/AIDS expertise and support HIV/AIDS-focused community organizations to enhance their
organizational capacity and implement a variety of HIV/AIDS prevention and care interventions. From FY
2007 to date, Peace Corps Volunteers have reached 10605 with Abstinence Only messages, 56655
individuals with sexual prevention AB and other prevention messages, trained 1582 service providers and
assisted 171 services outlets through organizational development support and training. Currently, a group of
25 PEPFAR- funded two year community health trainees are undergoing pre-service training and will be
deployed at the end of October. In all assignments, Volunteers are prepared through pre-service training to
encourage their partner organizations to either;1) incorporate a full range of prevention, care, and treatment
services, or 2) to actively seek out and use local referral opportunities to ensure all individuals and families
receive necessary services. This commitment reflects and supports the emphasis on the Ugandan Network
Model, described in the USG 5-Year Strategy
In FY 2009, Peace Corps will continue to support and strengthen abstinence and being faithful activities to
reach a total of 6500 individuals (3000 males and 3500 females) targeting in-school and out-of-school
youth, along with highly targeted "being faithful" messages for married individuals designed in collaboration
with FBO partners in particular. This target includes a total of 2800 individuals (1200 Males & 1600
Females) that will be reached with Abstinence Only messages mainly through our school based abstinence
program. Under this program area, 16 two year and 12 short term (Peace Corps Response) Volunteers will
be recruited and placed with organizations focusing on prevention for youth and adults. Volunteers and their
counterparts will carry out campaigns to sensitize the general population about HIV prevention using
information, education and communication messages that aim at creating an enabling environment for
married partners to reduce sexual partners and remain faithful to each other. In FY 2010, we propose to
reach 4200 individuals with AB programming with special emphasis on the drivers of the epidemic identified
in the 2005/2006 Uganda National Sero- Behavioral survey. Peace Corps Volunteers will work with other
USG partners to continue the roll-out of the PIASCY program to post primary level. Peace Corps Volunteers
will continue to promote and support the establishment of school-based health/ant-HIV/AIDS clubs aimed at
creating a friendly and safe environment for students to discuss myth and facts about HIV/AIDS with
guidance from their teachers and school counselors. Volunteers will disseminate age appropriate
information and activities for this target population - beginning with life skills and self-esteem development
for younger age groups and moving to more specific HIV/AIDS messages and youth empowerment for older
youth from 15 to 24 years of age. Volunteers and their Counterparts will continue to support the roll-out of
PIASCY activities to schools in their work areas and through their affiliation with primary teacher colleges
and coordinating centers and the work these institutions do to provide in-service teacher training, promote
school clubs, support educational materials development and advance linkages with other community
organizations.
In FY 2009, Peace Corps will scale up sexual prevention OP activities by placing more Volunteers with
prevention focused organizations to reach many most-at risk populations in hard to reach and under served
areas. In FY 2009, 25000 (12000 males &13000 females) individuals will be reached and 36000 (22000
males &14000 females) in 2010 with HVOP programming. The activities will include information
dissemination through various channels; education and appropriate communication on reproductive health
issues; sexually transmitted infections management; information about dangers of multiple relationships
especially among the married couples, education about condoms and usage; and other related areas that
support HIV prevention. These activities will target vulnerable groups, specific at-risk populations, and
community members at large through activities implemented by Volunteers and their Counterparts.
Promotion of Counseling and Testing and Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) for
prevention purposes will also be encouraged. Community members will be encouraged to be tested for HIV,
hence further preventing transmission. HIV-positive pregnant mothers will be better equipped to prevent
transmission of HIV to their babies. In addition, Volunteers and Counterparts will be supported to develop
various behavior change promotion materials to support this program area. At post primary level, Peace
Corps secondary school based Volunteers will play a major in rolling out the PIASCY program to ensure
that students have access to information about comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention.

The major portion of Peace Corps Uganda's Care and support program is building the capacity of
community based organizations, faith based and other, operating in underserved areas to improve and
expand access to care through enhanced understanding of and ability to deliver services to those affected
by HIV/AIDS. Peace Corps Volunteers will work with local organizations to undertake activities that develop
organizational capacity to provide care, provide opportunities to practice improved skills, and develop
systems to sustainably increase organizational ability to deliver services. In addition to organizational
development, activities will address innovative ways to ensure clients have access to the basic preventive
care package, including low labor/low input gardening for improved nutrition, improved clean water access,
treated bed net use among families affected by HIV, improved sanitation and hygiene, access to
cotrimoxazole, and in-house access or referral to treatment and prevention services. Volunteers and
Counterparts will work with PLWA and OVC caregivers to develop income generating activities, especially
those that can contribute to improved nutrition such as vegetable production and other permaculture
activities. Small projects may include livestock improvements, piggeries, and food security support among
others.
From FY 2006 to date, 55 PEPFAR funded two-year Volunteers have been added to Peace Corps
Uganda's portfolio. Through these Volunteers, ongoing training and small project support activities, Peace
Corps has been able to strengthen community and Volunteer HIV/AIDS expertise and support HIV/AIDS-
focused community organizations to enhance their organizational capacity to implement a variety of
HIV/AIDS prevention and care interventions. Currently, a group of 25 PEPFAR- funded two year community
health trainees are undergoing pre-service training and will be deployed at the end of October. From FY
2007 to date, Peace Corps Uganda has been to able to reach 4069 individuals of whom 1726 are males
and 2343 females and trained 360 service providers. In all assignments, Volunteers are prepared through
pre-service training to encourage their partner organizations to either;1) incorporate a full range of
prevention, care and treatment services, or 2) to actively seek out and use local referral opportunities to
ensure all individuals and families receive necessary services.
In FY 2009, Peace Corps Uganda is planning to scale up the palliative care-basic program by recruiting and
deploying more community health and economic development Volunteers to work with USG and non USG
funded partners focusing on basic care and support for the infected and affected individuals in the
communities. With FY 2009 funding, 12 PEPFAR funded two-year Volunteers will be added on to our
country program of which 12 will be placed with partners implementing basic care and support programs.
An additional 4 short term (6-12 months) Volunteers (Peace Corps Response Volunteers) with specific skills
and expertise in areas such as networking, partnerships, organizational development, strategic planning
and management, post conflict reconstruction for Northern Uganda, education systems support and food
security will be recruited and placed with organizations targeting HIV/AIDS infected and affected groups. In
FY 2009 and 2010, Peace Corps Uganda intends to reach 7200 (2500 males & 4700 females) and 8000
(3000 males & 5000 females) individuals respectively and train 1500 caregivers. Peace Corps Volunteers
working with host organization staff will continue to provide technical skills through training and mentoring,
practical knowledge and information sharing in areas of improved household food production through
permaculture, socio-economic support to PLWHA, caregivers and families and psychosocial support. The
program will ensure that the targeted beneficiaries access comprehensive services through networks and
referrals with other service providers including education.

Uganda's portfolio. Through these Volunteer's ongoing training and small project support activities, Peace
Corps has been able to strengthen its community and Volunteer HIV/AIDS expertise and support HIV/AIDS-
focused community organizations to enhance their organizational capacity and implement a variety of
HIV/AIDS prevention and care interventions. From FY 2007 to date, Peace Corps Uganda has reached a
total number of 6195 individuals of whom 2468 are males and 3727 females and trained 8320 service
providers. In all assignments, Volunteers are prepared through pre-service training to encourage their
partner organizations to either;1) incorporate a full range of prevention, care including OVC care, and
treatment services, or 2) to actively seek out and use local referral opportunities to ensure all individuals
and families receive necessary services.
In FY 2009, Peace Corps Uganda is planning to scale up the OVC program by recruiting and deploying
more community health and economic development Volunteers to work with both PEPFAR and non
PEPFAR supported OVC partners/Civil Society Organizations focusing on care and support for Orphans
and other Vulnerable Children. With FY 2009 funding, 40 PEPFAR funded two-year Volunteers will be
added on to our country program of which 12 will be placed with partners focusing on OVC care and
support. An additional 4 short term (6-12 months) Volunteers (Peace Corps Response Volunteers) with
specific skills and expertise in areas such as organizational development, strategic planning and
management, post conflict reconstruction and education systems support will be recruited and 6 of these
Volunteers will be placed organizations targeting vulnerable groups. Peace Corps programming will aim at
increasing OVC access to and utilization of comprehensive quality services through facilitating linkages
between facility and community based service providers. In FY 2009 and 2010, Peace Corps Uganda
intends to reach 8000 and 8500 OVCs respectively under primary direct and supplemental support and train
2500 caregivers. Peace Corps Volunteers working with host organization staff will continue to provide
technical skills, organizational and systems strengthening support to host organizations, knowledge and
information in areas of improved (less labor intensive) household food production through permaculture,
economic support to OVCs, caregivers and families, psychosocial support. The program will ensure that the
targeted beneficiaries access comprehensive services through networks and referrals to other service
providers of essential services as defined in the NOP.
Peace Corps Orphans and other Vulnerable Children programming will focus on improving the lives of
Orphans and other Vulnerable Children and families affected by HIV/AIDS. Volunteers working in this
program area are assigned to a CBO, FBO or NGO that implement Orphans and other Vulnerable Children
support activities. Volunteers provide capacity building services, technical support to implement community
initiated activities with VAST funding, and linkages to wraparound services.
Existing OVC services will be strengthened and expanded to assist Orphans and other Vulnerable Children
to obtain secure livelihoods. Orphans and other Vulnerable Children and their families will also be supported
to access basic care requirements through supplemental direct provision of consistent basic care services
by organizations directly supported by Volunteers or through having these organizations link clients to other
service providers for complete basic care. Volunteers will support the provision of comprehensive care for
Orphans and other Vulnerable Children to include psychosocial support, access to education, economic
support through income generation etc. Sports and entertainment outreach programs will also be supported
to enhance HIV/AIDS prevention and life skills development. Youth will gain leadership skills by serving as
peer educators, teamwork skills through engaging in sports, and responsibility as they engage in economic
projects. Economic livelihood activities may include livestock improvements, piggeries, and food security
initiatives

The Peace Corps Uganda PEPFAR program supports the USG EP for Uganda. Through supporting the EP,
Peace Corps Uganda contributes to the Ugandan National Strategic Plan (NSP) for HIV/AIDS, and in turn,
to the goals and objectives of the partner organizations hosting our Volunteers. The program is designed so
that Volunteers are closely engaged with communities at a grassroots level in a manner that allow them to
develop the close personal relationships necessary and deep cultural understanding necessary for effective
innovation in underserved areas. The PEPFAR program allows Peace Corps Uganda to strengthen
community and Volunteer HIV/AIDS expertise, and to support community organizations in a variety of
HIV/AIDS functions. Volunteers and partner organizations work together to identify areas of need and
develop appropriate evidence-based strategies that support sustainable interventions.
Management, program direction and supervision, and financial oversight of EP activities is provided by the
Peace Corps Country Director, Associate Peace Corps Director for Administration, and Associate Peace
Corps Director overseeing the CHED project (3 USDH) and additional support is provided by the entire
Peace Corps Uganda staff. This level of effort supported through direct Peace Corps appropriated funds
and is required to engage the full cohort of over 125 Peace Corps Volunteers who carry out EP activities.
The PEPFAR program manager, EP Coordinator, EP Administrative Assistant, and EP Technical Advisor,
Peace Corps Medical Officer, Driver, and Financial Assistant provide support to the PEPFAR program
especially in monitoring and reporting, training, resource development, and Volunteer support.
With the current and proposed program expansion in FY 2009, Peace Corps Uganda is recruiting a
previously approved additional driver. The Program Manager, EP Coordinator, EP Administrative Assistant,
EP Financial Assistant, Medical Officer, and EP Technical Advisor will continue to provide support to the
PEPFAR program especially in monitoring and reporting, training, and volunteer support for PCRVs, 47
current serving PEPFAR-funded, two-year Volunteers as well as the nearly 100 appropriated-funded
Volunteers who contribute to PEPFAR goals. All EP staff members will support the USG PEPFAR country
team and serve on various PEPFAR technical workgroups. If the FY09 Implementation plan is fully funded,
Post will receive an additional 45 PEPFAR-funded, two-year Volunteers, 5 third year extensions and 20
Peace Corps Response. The proposed funding level nearly doubles the number of PEPFAR-funded
Volunteers serving in Uganda.
Post will organize at least three staff exchange visits possibly to Kenya, Zambia, and Tanzania to review
programs dealing with special needs education, economic activities, and permaculture. The PEPFAR
Program Manager will coordinate such activities.
Peace Corps Uganda is requesting the addition of two new staff positions to support the increased level of
activities involving the proposed expansion into Northern Uganda, and monitoring and reporting
requirements. These include a program assistant and a driver. Post will require additional office furniture for
additional staff. In addition to staff recruitment, post is proposing to procure a vehicle that will provide
transport for staff to monitor and support Volunteer activities as Post expands its activities into Northern
Uganda. The computer and audio visual equipment is required to support PST and IST activities, and to
document Volunteer projects and best practices.
During FY 2009, management, program direction and supervision, and financial oversight of EP activities
will continue to be provided by the Peace Corps Country Director, Associate Peace Corps Director
overseeing the CHED project, and Associate Peace Corps Director for Administration (3 USDH). Additional
support will be by the entire Peace Crops Uganda staff. This level of effort supported by Peace Corps
appropriated funds and is required to engage the full cohort of well over 140 Peace Corps Volunteers who
carry out EP activities.
