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.
This activity relates to other Track 1.0 OVC projects and RAPIDS HKID (#8947).
HOPE Worldwide Zambia (HWZ) has been implementing a Track 1.0 an orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) program, African Network for Children Orphaned and At Risk (ANCHOR), since FY 2005. HWZ is a branch of HOPE Worldwide, a faith-based organization based in South Africa, which has expertise in care and support for OVC and people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), and transfers knowledge and skills to and enhances the capacity of communities and organizations to initiate and own local responses to OVC. The goal of ANCHOR project, over a period of five years, is to strengthen and scale up community-based interventions to provide comprehensive care and to improve the quality of life for 19,935 OVC in Lusaka and Chongwe. This goal will be achieved through three strategic objectives: increasing comprehensive care and support for OVC; strengthening the capacity of families to cope with their problems; and, mobilizing and strengthening community-based OVC responses.
By mid- FY 2006, ANCHOR reached 579 OVC and trained 70 caregivers against an annual target of 2200 OVC and 120 caregivers. In FY 2007, ANCHOR will provide care and support to 5,170 OVC and train 310 caregivers.
ANCHOR OVC activities will link closely with other USG partners implementing community-based interventions to provide comprehensive care and to improve the quality of life for OVC. In addition, ANCHOR will work with other USAID OVC partners through the USG\Zambia OVC Forum to share lessons learned and prevent overlap of activities. ANCHOR will also work closely with the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) through district and provincial offices to ensure effective communication and support to OVC from the government.
ANCHOR and local Rotary clubs (RFFA) will be the primary implementing partners. ANCHOR's implementation plan is based on HOPE Worldwide's experience in community-based OVC care and support approach based on the SIYAWELA model developed in South Africa. The model focuses on facilitating the mobilization and provision of local multi-level support (medical, psychosocial, educational, income-generating, and nutritional) for OVC, their families and PLWHA. ANCHOR will also strive to create an atmosphere in communities where men and women will promote gender equality, strive to discourage domestic sexual violence, and the spread and the impact of HIV/AIDS by networking with other NGOs in the community to integrate emphasis on gender equality.
Project interventions for FY 2007 will include continued provision of direct support for OVC, and strengthening family and community capacity to respond to OVC needs. Emory University will coordinate training on monitoring and evaluation and data analysis.
In FY 2007, ANCHOR will establish community OVC support groups that will facilitate the provision of community-based nutritional support, material support, and psychosocial / emotional support. Support will also include structured group therapy, memory books, succession planning, spiritual support, and will continue with housing improvements, referrals for medical, and legal support as well as establishment of Kids Clubs. These clubs provide a platform for children and youth to collectively identify resources which they can use in supporting each other to enhance their ability to cope in the context of HIV/AIDS and mobilize community members to understand and assist in mitigating the impact of HIV/AIDS on children. In addition, ANCHOR will further strengthen the current M&E system to ensure accurate reporting of information. To strengthen community capacity to respond to OVC needs, ANCHOR and the private local private sector will train and mentor local organizations in OVC care and support as well as use community mobilization strategies to promote community action and coordination. Child Care Forums will be developed where necessary to promote local multi-sectoral networking for OVC support.
A local ANCHOR Coordinating Team (ACT) consisting of ANCHOR partner representatives provides regular guidance to the program and will liaise with USAID/Zambia, other USG-supported OVC projects as well as the host government at local and district and sub-country levels.
Sustainability is being achieved by linking the community-based organizations with existing health care and social service providers and through continued support by private volunteers and local private donors like Corpus Globe (which provides financial assistance), Natural Valley Limited (which provides schools fees and Manzi mineral water), Shoprite, Fairview Hotel, and MTN (provide food items), Doughachi Ads and Trolleycom (both provide school materials, school fees and clothing). These local private sector partners support staff, OVC and caregiver trainings, nutritional, material, legal, and educational support for OVC.
In FY 2007, ANCHOR will provide care and support to 5170 OVC and train 310 caregivers.
