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
The Market Access, Trade and Enabling Policies Project (MATEP) HIV/AIDS program is a PEPFAR wrap-
around activity integrated into the project's export promotion activities in the agricultural and natural
resource sectors. MATEP works with its private sector exporting clients to encourage them to view
HIV/AIDS prevention services for their workers as a core part of their business, rather than a social service
tangential to their interests. By doing so, in addition to benefiting their workers, companies can maintain
their productivity and competitiveness in international markets as well as demonstrate to international
buyers that they have responsible programs for employees.
The major part of MATEP's PEPFAR targets is being met through the project's Tourism Component and
Market Access Component. MATEP's principal implementation partners are the Hotel and Catering
Association of Zambia (HCAZ), the Zambia Export Growers Association (ZEGA), and ZEGA Training Trust
(ZTT). In previous years, MATEP in collaboration with ZEGA, NZTT, and the Southern Africa Trade Hub
developed a specific HIV/AIDS program to be implemented with Zambia's horticultural and floriculture
exporters.
The program will be extended in FY 2008 and MATEP will reach over 4,000 individuals in ZEGA member
farms and surrounding communities through community outreach HIV/AIDS prevention programs. In FY
2008, 70 individuals will be trained as Awareness Educators for delivery of abstinence/be faithful prevention
and awareness messages. MATEP will also deliver HIV/AIDS abstinence/be faithful prevention and
awareness messages during Export Training and sensitization programs to another 100 individuals. In
addition MATEP will coordinate and link its partners to the nearest CT service providers and to USG
partners providing mobile CT services in each geographical area.
In the Tourism Component, MATEP developed a similar HIV/AIDS program that equips HCAZ member
establishments with cost-effective interventions that limit the spread of infection and mitigate its impact,
such as staff turnover and lower productivity costs. Over 8,000 individuals in the establishments and
surrounding communities will be reached through these community outreach HIV/AIDS prevention
programs and a total of 110 individuals will be trained to deliver prevention messages. Community outreach
programs for HIV/AIDS prevention will also be pursued as part of tourism training activities; MATEP will
work with HCAZ to introduce an HIV/AIDS program that promotes abstinence and/or being faithful programs
into business training workshops for owners and managers of small and mid-sized lodges and guesthouses.
A total of 400 individuals that will participate in the training workshops will receive HIV/AIDS abstinence/be
faithful prevention and awareness messages.
In FY 2008, MATEP will replicate in the Ministry of Tourism an HIV/AIDS program designed and
implemented with the Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MLSS) in 2007. MATEP will assist the
Ministry in developing an HIV/AIDS policy checklist that could be used by the tourism inspectors during their
inspection exercise with companies and train 20 tourism inspectors both on HIV/AIDS policy issues and in
HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness. The trained tourism inspectors will reach 2,500 individuals with
HIV/AIDS messages.
The CEO of ZEGA identified the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS on farms as a major constraint to the
international competitiveness of Zambia's horticulture/floriculture export industry. This challenge facing the
industry led to discussions with MATEP and the Southern Africa Trade Hub to develop HIV/AIDS prevention
activities which would strengthen the capacity of ZEGA and NZTT so that the association could deliver
HIV/AIDS services to its membership. The activity adapted an approach the Trade Hub HIV/AIDS advisor
has undertaken successfully with South African fruit and vegetable exporters.
The ZEGA activity is implemented in four stages. Stage I is mobilization and sensitization of ZEGA member
farms as participants and contributors in HIV/AIDS prevention. Stage II is design and planning of specific
programs that address needs of each ZEGA member. Stage III is training of individuals from each farm
who would conduct the prevention programs. Stage IV is roll-out of the programs to farm workers
themselves and the surrounding communities.
MATEP worked with BizAIDS to develop an appropriate ZEGA training program, based on the PEPFAR
Guidelines of A, B, and C (February 2006). Working with The Health Communication Partnership (HCP),
five HIV/AIDS prevention leaflets were identified, translated into Nyanja and Bemba, and reprinted in
English for distribution to program participants for implementing the program.
The training program is conducted on site at ZEGA member farms. Each training session lasts two days
with approximately 20 individuals attending. The number of trainees selected for each of the farms is based
on the ratio of one Awareness Educator for each 120 farm workers. Surrounding communities are included
for message delivery, too. A rollout schedule of message delivery is prepared along with a schedule for
monitoring delivery of HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness messages. The rollout is followed by continual
monitoring and feedback as it progresses.
In 2006, MATEP's HIV/AIDS Coordinator planned and implemented program activities in 13 ZEGA member
farms in the Lusaka and Chisamba areas. In 2007, another 6 ZEGA member farms were targeted, this time
with the programs run jointly with NZTT/ZEGA. In FY 2008, NZTT/ZEGA will take responsibility for planning
and implementing the program. The program will target new ZEGA members in areas such as Mukushi and
Serenje. MATEP will explore linkages to pursue on the ground during implementation for possible
collaboration.
Previously MATEP presented options for a sustainable ZEGA HIV/AIDS program at the ZEGA Annual
General Meeting. The options included obtaining greater contributions from ZEGA members and the
assistance of other partners. In FY 2008, MATEP will continue working with ZEGA to bring this plan to
fruition.
In 2007 MATEP's HIV/AIDS Coordinator with assistance from HCAZ/CEO, planned and implemented an
HCAZ HIV/AIDS program similar to the one developed for ZEGA. The program targeted hotels, lodges, and
guesthouses in Lusaka, Central, and Copperbelt provinces of Zambia. In FY 2008, HCAZ will slowly
assume responsibility of the program and will lead its extension to the Eastern province and other provinces
of Zambia HCAZ members.
Activity Narrative: In addition to the above, MATEP will continue working with HCAZ to incorporate HIV/AIDS abstinence/be
faithful prevention programs into business training workshops for owners and managers of small and mid-
sized lodges and guesthouses. Along with HIV/AIDS A/B prevention messages, MATEP's HIV/AIDS
training emphasizes the importance of integrating HIV/AIDS prevention as part of business decision-making
by HCAZ members.
In FY 2008, MATEP will also assist HCAZ to develop a HIV/AIDS workplace policy framework which will be
used to guide the industry in developing HIV/AIDS workplace policies in their individual establishments all
over Zambia.
In FY 2008, MATEP will replicate the HIV/AIDS program designed and implemented with the MLSS in FY
2007 in the Ministry of Tourism and train tourism inspectors that will reach individuals in various institutions
with HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness messages.
All FY 2008 targets will be reached by September 30, 2009.
