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" integrated into the project's export promotion activities in the agricultural and natural resource
sectors. MATEP works with private sector exporting clients to encourage them to view HIV/AIDS 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 as well as demonstrate to international buyers that they have responsible workplace
programs for employees.
MATEP's HIV/AIDS prevention activities are in four principal areas:
•Sensitization to the risks posed by HIV/AIDS,
•Training of Awareness Educators,
•Dissemination of HIV/AIDS prevention messages and literature,
•Workplace Program design and implementation.
Sensitization involves working with private sector associations and private companies to help company
management understand and appreciate the risks posed by HIV/AIDS. This includes risks to the health of
their workforce as well as the impact of HIV/AIDS on the company's productivity and competitiveness.
MATEP has worked closely with the Zambia Export Growers Association (ZEGA) and the Hotel and
Catering Association of Zambia (HCAZ) in the past; both in sensitization of association staff and in
mobilizing individual companies for HIV/AIDS activities through the associations. During FY 2009 MATEP
will continue working with ZEGA and HCAZ and will also bring members of the Zambia Chamber of Small
and Medium Business Associations (ZCSMBA) in the MATEP program as well. An initial ZCSMBA partner
will be the Mazabuka District Business Association (MDBA).
The next step is training of Awareness Educators among the workforce of participating companies.
Awareness Educator training focuses on providing the information and skills necessary for delivery of
HIV/AIDS prevention messages to the full workforce of a company. MATEP developed a curriculum for
conducting this training based on the PEPFAR Guidelines of A, B, and C (February 2006). The training
covers topics such as: defining HIV and AIDS, modes of HIV transmission, modes of protection against
infection, progression of HIV infection, impact of HIV/AIDS on community, household etc..., Voluntary
Counseling and Testing (VCT), Positive Living and HIV Treatment. Training is generally conducted over a
two day period to groups of about 20 trainees.
MATEP will start this year by updating and revising the curriculum based on new information that has been
developed about HIV/AIDS and on the lessons learned in conducting three years of Awareness Educator
training. As part of this effort, MATEP will work with the Health Communication Partnership (HCP) to
expand the range of HIV/AIDS brochures that MATEP will translate into local languages, reprint and
distribute to program participants. MATEP will also partner with other HIV/AIDS providers in order to make
sure that services such as condom distribution, voluntary counseling, and HIV/AIDS is testing is available to
workers and community members.
During FY 2009, MATEP will expand its Awareness Educator program to not only train Awareness
Educators themselves but to undertake training of trainers as well. This will enable the partner associations
(ZEGA, HCAZ and MDBA) as well as individual firms to continue Awareness Educator training in their
workforce after the close of the MATEP project.
After training comes dissemination of HIV/AIDS prevention messages. As the final part of Awareness
Educator training, each trainee develops a roll-out program for delivering the HIV/AIDS messages and
literature to his or her co-workers. These roll-out programs are coordinated with the Human Resources
managers of respective companies; then roll-out starts with Awareness Educators are generally responsible
for outreach to about 120 workers. MATEP works closely with the Human Resource managers throughout
the rollout to ensure that programs stay on track, that message delivery is effective and that monitoring data
is properly collected.
During implementation of MATEP's HIV/AIDS program in previous years many companies asked that the
rollout be expanded to include the surrounding communities where their workers live and from which the
workforce is drawn. This has since become a standard part of the MATEP program.
As well as rolling out to company workforces and communities, MATEP delivers HIV/AIDS prevention
messages during workshops conducted by the project. Both the MATEP Market Access and Tourism
Components regularly conduct workshops on various topics in their respective sectors. Whenever these
workshops are held, an HIV/AIDS session is added to the schedule so that an Awareness Educator can
present HIV/AIDS prevention messages to the participants, distribute HIV/AIDS brochures and answer any
questions that arise.
The fourth principal activity is Workplace Program design and implementation. Previously MATEP has
worked with ZEGA and HCAZ in developing Workplace Codes of Conduct covering HIV/AIDS topics. This
was expanded last year with an activity with the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MLSS) developing an
HIV/AIDS policy checklist to be used by labor inspectors during inspection exercises with companies. Both
activities will be expanded during FY 2009. With ZEGA and HCAZ, MATEP will develop sector specific
Workplace Policy models, and then work with the associations and individual companies in adapting and
implementing the policies for their firms. With the MLSS policy checklist, MATEP will replicate the activity
for the Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources and then work with inspectors in both
ministries for the rollout to companies. Rollout involves helping individual companies develop Workplace
Policies and delivery of HIV/AIDS prevention messages as well.
During the FY 2009 period, MATEP will reach 30,000 individuals through HIV/AIDS outreach prevention
programs and will train 600 individuals as Awareness Educators for delivery of abstinence/be faithful
prevention and awareness messages. All the targets will be met by September 30, 2010.
