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.
1. Overall goals and objectives The main goal of the program is to decrease the vulnerability of children currently classified as critically and moderately vulnerable within families and communities. This program will provide direct services in four of the eight core areas namely: socio-economic strengthening, food security and nutrition, child protection and legal support as articulated in the National Strategic Programme Plan of Interventions for Vulnerable Children. Specific objectives include: improve the socio-economic status of Vulnerable Children (VC) households with a comprehensive and family focused package of services; improve the food security and nutrition status of VC households; promote and provide child protection and legal services to VC and their households and strengthen delivery of integrated, quality social services to VC and their households through community based response systems.
2. Target populations and geographic coverage SCORE will target 15,000 Vulnerable Children households or roughly 80,000 persons with a comprehensive package over 5 years. The program will operate in 21 districts namely: Bushenyi, Rukungiri, Ntungamo, Isingiro, Kamuli, Iganga, Mayuge, Bugiri, Busia, Butaleja, Budaka, Buduuda, Sironko, Lira, Gulu, Amuru, Kitgum, Luwero, Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono. REDACTED.
3. Enhancing cost effectiveness and sustainability SCORE intends to strengthen the community capacity to identify, design, implement and monitor their programs for sustainability
4. Health Systems Strengthening Capacity building of community structures like PHA Networks and Village Health Teams will be strengthened to support referral and linkages between the community and health facilities.
5. Cross-Cutting Budget Attributions (Costs TBD) c2. Food and Nutrition: Commodities This project will offer direct services to its target populations with food and nutrition commodities.
d. Economic Strengthening This project will offer support to its target beneficiaries with direct economic empowerment interventions.
e. Education
This project will support community structures to ensure referral of OVC for education support.
f. Water This project will link up with other partners to ensure OVC households' access clean water and promote hygiene and sanitation.
g. Gender: Reducing Violence and Coercion This program will support OVC households with protection and legal services against violence.
6. Key issues: a. Health-Related Wraparounds o Child Survival Activities, o Family Planning, o Malaria (PMI), o Safe Motherhood o TB For all the above mentioned health related wraparounds, this program will create meaningful linkages with existing USG district based programs to provide comprehensive services to the OVC.
b. Gender The program will consider issues of gender and age to ensure the differing needs of boys and girls at various developmental stages are addressed
c. End-of-Program Evaluation An end of project evaluation will be conducted to assess the outcome of the intervention and to identify promising practices that are worth replication.
1. Target populations and coverage of target population or geographic area
SCORE will target 15,000 Vulnerable Children households or roughly 80,000 persons with a comprehensive package of OVC services over 5 years. The program will operate in 21 districts namely: Bushenyi, Rukungiri, Ntungamo, Isingiro, Kamuli, Iganga, Mayuge, Bugiri, Busia, Butaleja, Budaka, Buduuda, Sironko, Lira, Gulu, Amuru, Kitgum, Luwero, Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono.
2. Description of service delivery or other activity carried out This program will support community structures and OVC households to: 1. Identify beneficiaries, conduct assessments on their needs, and together identify economic strengthening interventions. 2. Identify, prevent and respond to children in need of protection from violence, abuse and exploitation.
3. Address food and nutrition through strategies that will assist vulnerable families to restore food security.
3. Integration with other health activities This program will work with existing community structures including the Village Health Teams for linkages to existing USG and public health service providers. The community structures will be equipped with coordination and referral guidelines to facilitate linkages for health programs.
4. Relation to the national program This program is aligned with and support effective implementation of the following policies: The National OVC Policy (NOP) and the revised National Strategic Program Plan of Interventions (NSPPI II), The National Youth Policy, The National Child Labor Policy, The National Policy on Elimination of Child Labor and The National Policy on Disability in Uganda. Its implementation will ensure adherence to the OVC service level standards and will feed into the national OVC MIS system
5. Health Systems Strengthening and Human Resources for Health Capacity building of community structures like Local Councils, PHA Networks and Village Health Teams, will be strengthened to support referral and linkages between the community and health facilities.
