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: 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
The combined effect of AIDS, poverty, drought, and the collapse of the social protection and education systems has placed a heavy burden on Zimbabwes children and the families caring for those children.
An estimated 1.6 million children, including 1.0 million who have lost one or both parents, have been made vulnerable by the HIV and AIDS epidemic (Zimbabwe National HIV and AIDS Estimates, 2009). However, Zimbabwes high HIV prevalence rate effectively means that all children in Zimbabwe have been affected by HIV and AIDS to some degree.
Zimbabwes orphans are primarily cared for by their extended families, including grandparents, although many live in child-headed households. Many orphans live in extremely poor households and are unable to access basic services (education, health care) at the same rate as other children in their community. They are also more likely to suffer from psychological problems, engage in child labor, and be subjected to abuse, discrimination and social stigma. At the same time, although orphanhood contributes to vulnerability, it is not necessarily the only or most important factor in vulnerability. Other key factors include poverty; exposure to violence, abuse and exploitation; displacement; mobility; trafficking; discrimination due to disability, gender and other differences. The last Implementing Mechanism has been providing a comprehensive package of service including health, education and protection services to a cohort of 65,000 children and it is the intent of this new mechanism to continue working with this cohort. VEHICLES - Planned vehicle purchases are unknown at this time.
The new mechnism will focus on the following areas: Provide at least three services (education, health, psychosocial, protection, etc.) to a cohort of at least 65,000 orphans and other vulnerable children. Strengthen the capacity of the GOZ social services system to sustainably care for vulnerable children by providing assistance for social services workforce planning, training and development.
Enhance the capacity of communities and local service providers to sustainably care for children and vulnerable families by assisting schools, health centers, child protection committees, case management systems and other relevant groups to develop, implement and maintain sustainable mechanisms to support OVC.
Strengthen vulnerable households to sustainably provide better care for children through economic strengthening and educational activities.
