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
This activity relates to other RAPIDS HKID (#8947) and other track 1.0 Orphans and Vulnerable Children
(OVC) projects.
Opportunity International (OI) is implementing a track 1.0 Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) program.
One of OI's local partners is CETZAM Financial Services Limited (CFSL). CFSL will utilize its network in five
geographical areas to serve and train caregivers in how to care for the OVC in FY 2009.
In FY 2007, CFSL provided microfinance support to guardians of 4829 (2460 males and 2369 females)
OVC who in turn provided food, clothing, education and other services to OVC. CFSL trained 1551 (1154
females and 397 males) caregivers in OVC care and HIV/AIDS awareness.
CFSL has a deliberate policy of empowering women; hence 70% of the loans are disbursed to women and
30% to men.
To improve the economic situation of families caring for OVC, CFSL has been providing micro-finance
assistance for clients involved in selling food stuff at market places, small scale rearing and selling poultry
and grocery goods at small stands. These businesses are being operated in high density residential areas
(shanty compounds) where CFSL clients live. This approach has proved effective. As clients' businesses
bring in more profit, OVC guardians' ability to provide food security and pay for clothing, school fees, and
medical expenses improves.
Community volunteers and staff from sub-partners of PCI and Faith Based Regional Initiative for Orphans
and Vulnerable Children (FABRIC), help identify OVC in need of assistance where CFSL operate, OVC are
identified through community volunteers and affiliates in communities. Loan officers verify the OVC that are
identified by community volunteers through home visits to make sure they meet the OVC programming
guidelines.
CFSL collaborate with other USG implementing partners through the USG OVC forum to implement
complementary activities. For example, CFSL provides micro loans to Project Concern International (PCI)
and FABRIC OVC beneficiaries to strengthen economic capacity of OVC caregivers and promote
sustainability of the program.
In FY 2009, CFSL with its partners will reach 280 OVC (168 boys and 112 girls) by providing micro finance,
this is used to provide food, nutrition and education support and will train 60 caregivers (42 females and 18
males) on how to care for OVC. Parents and guardians will be encouraged to link the OVC to other
services that CFSL are unable to provide such as palliative care, care and treatment, anti retroviral (ART)
and others. CFSL will continue to provide microfinance (micro-loans and insurance) and business
management training to OVC caregivers.
CFSL will also continue to collaborate with other PEPFAR OVC implementing partners. They will attend the
monthly OVC forum meetings and USAID HIV/AIDS monthly meetings and participate in both planning and
reporting processes. Furthermore, linkages with other USG partners will ensure a continuum of care for the
OVC and will facilitate the sharing of lessons learned. CFSL will continue to collaborate with government
departments at district and provincial levels to ensure communication and support to the OVC from the
government of Zambia.
The activities will be sustainable beyond PEPFAR funding support because CFSL will continue to provide
microfinance services as it has already established a sustainable network of offices and trained loan
officers. The project will create partnerships between OVC clients and HIV/AIDS services providers to
ensure continuing support after completion of the PEPFER funding. CFSL will also promote sustainability by
ensuring that households gain the skills and the capacity to continue with income generating activities
beyond the current funding.
The organization will continue to implement the OVC program through its existing trust bank structure.
Under this structure, it remains standard principle to have the funds paid back to encourage ownership and
commitment within the agreed time frame. This allows for re-loans and new loans to be disbursed to the
care givers making possible for the program to continue once USAID funding ends.
The aspect of measuring long-term social-economic impact of the Care givers/OVC provides an opportunity
for those who are transformed through the OVC program to graduate into other loan product categories
within CFSL micro financing activities. For example, caregivers whose businesses have expanded can
graduate from the OVC program and they no longer borrow through the group, but can borrow in their own
capacity as individuals.
All FY 2009 targets will be reached by September 30, 2010.
