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 1.0 OVC projects and RAPIDS HKID
World Concern is a Track 1.0 OVC project that started in 2004 and has been expanding care to OVCs
through the Association of Evangelical Relief and Development Agencies (AERDO), HIV/AIDS Alliance in
Zambia, including its direct affiliate, Christian Reformed World Relief Committee (CWCRC), as well as other
partners i.e. Nazarene Compassionate Ministries (NCM), Reformed Church in Zambia Eastern Diaconia
Services(RCZ - DER), World Hope International (WHI), the Reformed Community Support Organization
(RECS), and Church of Central African Presbyterian (CCAP).
In the FY2009, World Concern will continue providing care and support to 4,900 OVCs (2,510 females and
2,390 males), retrain 1,330 Caregivers/Volunteers, and continue to build the capacity of 27 FBOs and 8
CBOs. World concern and its partners will continue to utilize a community-based approach that engages
OVC households, families and caregivers in order to create a caring and supportive environment for
children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. World Concern and its Partners will also continue to
develop and strengthen networks with government, FBOs, NGOs, and USG funded OVC projects. World
concern will enhance efficiency and effectiveness of project activities and ensure OVC quality care. Special
consideration will be given to HIV positive OVCs and children whose parents or guardians are unable to
support them due to HIV/AIDS related illnesses. In collaboration with other NGOs working in VCT, ART, and
Palliative Care services, World Concern will have these services provided to the children through referrals.
In FY 2010, World Concern will conduct follow up training to volunteers and church/community leaders as
needed to ensure understanding and ownership of the program. Resources will also be made available in
the form of income generating activities (IGA), which will allow for a continuation of services for OVC
beyond World Concern's involvement.
Reformed Community Support Organization (RECS) will work with a total of 5 FBOs (Reformed Church in
Zambia (RCZ) congregations) on the Copperbelt. RECS will mobilize and strengthen its FBOs by retraining
and supporting 50 volunteer members and 80 caregivers in psycho-social counseling, Home Based Care,
IGA, farming/gardening and small animal restocking. RECS will train its FBO coordinators in leadership,
OVC support skills and IGA in order to build FBOs' capacity to respond to the plight of 500 OVC. The OVCs
will be linked to health care, social, and education services in the vicinity.
The Reformed Church in Zambia Eastern Diaconia Services (RCZ EDS) will work with 5 CBOs to support
500 OVC and assist 85 Caregivers in the Eastern Province of Zambia to increase OVC and caregiver's
income levels. Through IGA programs OVC will have better nutrition and educational support. World
concern expects that these IGAs will allow local support programs to extend services to OVC not enrolled in
the program. Recognizing that the number of children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS is
growing, World Concern believes that it is particularly important to equip community-based programs with
the resources, knowledge and motivation to respond to the specific long-term needs of the children in their
communities. Issues of volunteer retention will also be addressed through the dissemination of volunteer
management skills to OVC committee members, and through the development of locally appropriate
recognition strategies that can facilitate long-term sustainability and retention program to volunteers. RCZ
EDS will also encourage the active participation of both female and male volunteers and beneficiaries. It will
conduct gender sensitization workshops and support existing women's groups with training, food security
aid and health-related activities.
In the FY2009, the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian Relief & Development (CCAP R&D) will provide
care to 500 OVCs. CCAP R&D will also train 85 caregivers and work with 2 FBOs and 3 CBOs in Lundazi
and Chama districts in Eastern Province of Zambia. The goal will be to alleviate poverty and improve living
conditions of OVC. It is CCAP R&D's ministry to organize churches and communities and empower them to
support and provide for the needs of OVC. CCAP R&D will help a select number of children both male and
female to be given access to formal education through provisions of uniforms, supplies and/or fees, good
nutrition, different skills and quality care and support through a supported caregiver. Communities and local
organizations will be trained and encouraged to develop local means of generating income through
contributions, farming/gardening, IGAs.
Nazarene Compassionate Ministries (NCM) will train 100 church and community volunteers and caregivers
that will support 400 OVC. NCM will work with 5 churches in Southern province. Program activities will
include awareness campaigns at the community level which will involve enabling community and religious
leaders to clearly articulate traditional and faith-based values regarding the care of OVC. These influential
persons will continue to receive sensitization trainings on the unique needs of OVC and will be encouraged
to publicly dialogue about the specific crisis facing their communities.
World Hope International (WHI) Zambia will work with 15 FBOs (Pilgrim Wesleyan Church communities)
located in Southern and Lusaka provinces. WHI will provide care and support to 3,000 OVC and 1000
Caregivers. Selected families and caregivers will be trained in agriculture, animal husbandry and other
income generating activities. Once trained, beneficiaries will then be eligible to receive small start-up capital
such as farming inputs and/or small livestock. Youths will also be mentored by trained volunteers who will
provide encouragement, share important life skills, and help them to become fully realized members of their
communities. Income generated from these projects will be used to cater for OVC's school, medical, food
and clothing needs. Other areas in which training will be provided to the targeted communities include
community health in general and HIV/AIDS in particular, peer education skills, OVC care, HBC and
functional literacy.
For sustainability, World Concern and its partners will continue to develop and strengthen skills at
FBO/CBO level through Caregiver/Volunteer livelihood skills development activities to enable them sustain
care for OVC. Further the program will continue to strengthen networks with government, other
FBOs/CBOs, and USG funded OVC projects. Coupled with active participation in the USG Zambia OVC
Forum, this will enhance efficiency and effectiveness of program activities and ensure OVC quality care.
The project will make every effort to ensure gender equality in the support to OVC caregivers. Caregiver
registrations will include both men and women caring for OVC. Both male and female caregivers will get
Activity Narrative: equal shares of funding for their selected IGAs. World Concern has a deliberate policy of gender-balance
regarding participation in trainings.
