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.
The Centre is an HIV Service organization (HSO) founded in 1994 whose vision is "to facilitate a healthy people in a world without AIDS".
The overall objective of the Centre's program is to strengthen the capacity of Provincial Implementing Partners (PIPs) to enhance the health and resilience of populations made vulnerable by HIV (PLHIV).
The main objectives of the Centre's program are: 1) To build the capacity of PIPs who are themselves Community AIDS Service Organizations (CASOs) and (PLHIV) support groups in the delivery of HIV-related services and initiatives, to strengthen appropriate coping mechanisms among vulnerable groups. 2) To assist PIPs to develop a cadre of multi-skilled district and ward level trainers. 3) To build the capacity of PIPs in project planning, management, monitoring and evaluation. 4) To provide technical assistance to PIPs in the development of HIV-related policies, advocacy and lobbying, decision making and gender mainstreaming for (PLHIV).
The Centre's activities support the HIV/AIDS National Strategy and Plan through the strengthening of support groups of PLHA providing survival skills information at three levels: Level 1- General issues related to HIV; Level 2 - Issues of psychosocial support, palliative care, and food and nutrition security; and Level 3 - issues of behavior change and HIV treatment. This information is disseminated through training-of-trainers (TOTs) at national, provincial and district level and involvement of key stakeholders.
The coverage of our activities is national and target mainly PLHIV and organizations working with PLHIV.
The key contributions of our program to health systems strengthening are promotion of the care and support to PLHIV through capacity building of support groups on issues of prevention, adherence to treatment, reduction of stigma and discrimination of people living positively and mainstreaming of gender into all programs.
.
The Centre's program cover activities in the cross-cutting area of Human Resources for Health with training being provided through 20 TOTs to representatives of partner organizations in the 10 provinces of the country and 7 Outreach Officers based at provinces and working with partner organizations for the strengthening of support groups
Another cross-cutting program will be Water through the drilling of 20 boreholes to be placed in strategic / common areas where support groups exist to increase access to clean and safe water for HIV infected and affected; to improve hygienic conditions for carers of PLHIV and increase the productivity of nutrition and herbal gardens.
A key PEPFAR issue addressed by the Centre's program is: Increasing gender equity in HIV/AIDS activities and services through the inclusion of a module on gender issues in our TOTs. In addition, we ensure that more than 50% of the TOTs selected to cascade the training are women and the organizations' recruitment policy is deliberately designed to ensure that more than 50% of its employees are women.
Our strategy for cost-efficiency is based on working with decentralized district and provincial level structures that makes dissemination of information easier and targeted to our beneficiaries at low cost.
Monitoring and Evaluation of our activities is done through quarterly progress reports based on a detailed implementation plan, reports of visits to field sites, minutes of local level meetings with program staff of PIPs and progress reports from the PIPs
With FY09 Supplemental Funds, The Centre will increase access to clean and safe water for HIV infected and affected through the drilling of 20 boreholes to be placed in strategic / common areas where support groups exist. This activity will additionally support PLHIV to improve hygiene and the productivity of nutrition and herbal gardens.
In FY2010, The Centre will continue the strengthening of support groups providing nutrition counseling and psychosocial support to positive people. Outreach Workers will link up PLHIV to other centers for support and receive referrals from New Start Centers and clinics for ongoing supportive counseling and refer back to clinics those that need to be initiated on ART. The Outreach Workers will provide adherence counseling and follow up on defaulters.
With FY09 Supplemental Funds, the Centre will strengthen the network of people living with HIV/AIDS through the translation into vernacular languages i.e. Shona and Ndebele and rolling out of tool kits for support groups' capacity building in the 10 provinces and 62 districts of the country. The Centre will facilitate the setting up of district and provincial committees of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and holding of the national Annual General Meeting (AGM) which will lead to the formation of the National Committee. The setting up of the national committee is a pre-requisite to accessing Global Fund resources for meaningful involvement of PLHIV. The Centre will strengthen support groups and its networking activities to leverage Global Fund resources.
In FY2010, The Centre will continue to strengthen the networking of positive persons and cascade the survival skills information through 20 Training of Trainers. These training will cascade from provincial to district level through the network structures, leveraging these activities with Global Fund resources. The Centre will consolidate the herbal gardens and document the case studies and successful models for replication and information sharing to other support groups. The Outreach Officers will continue the outreach program with Provincial Implementing Partners (PIPs), building their capacity to take on these activities in the future
