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.
This implementing mechanism is unchanged from last year.
In June 2009, USAID issued an RFA for an organization to serve as an umbrella supporting a number of implementing agencies in the areas of prevention and care, national level advocacy, and leadership. The RFA for Community Based HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care Program has not yet been awarded. The purpose of this new agreement is to build the capacity of RGC and other local stakeholders to identify and sustainably address the prevention and care needs of underserved most-at-risk populations through community-based services. The program is intended to facilitate the development, implementation, and evaluation of community-based interventions that address key gaps in current prevention and care service coverage, and that serve as focal points for advocacy and leadership to improve the quality and efficiency of service delivery supported through other mechanisms.
Comprehensive Goals and Geographic Reach:
The program has three main components:
Component 1: Improving the coverage, quality and sustainability of home- and community-based care services for individuals infected or affected by HIV, including orphans and vulnerable children (OVC): These activities should cover Phnom Penh, Battambang, Pailin, Banteay Meanchey, Pursat, Siem Reap, Takeo, and Kampong Cham.
Component 2: Identifying and addressing critical gaps in HIV prevention programming for underserved or neglected most-at-risk populations: These activities should cover Phnom Penh, Battambang, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville
Component 3: Providing technical leadership, advocacy and capacity building to advance the quality, impact, and sustainability of community-based services for MARPs. This activity should include technical assistance and capacity building with local NGO/CBO implementing partners, national and local networks of PLHA, MSM and IDU, and other national and local stakeholders.
The partner should fully collaborate with other USAID-funded programs focusing on strengthening health systems and building institutional capacity at the national, provincial and service delivery levels.
Target Populations:
It is anticipated that the TBD implementer will focus much of its emphasis on meeting the care and support needs of those who are most vulnerable, including children affected by AIDS, people experiencing illness or adherence challenges, and those for whom the impact of HIV/AIDS puts them at risk of going into debt and/or having to dispose of the family assets. In terms of HIV prevention activities, it is anticipated that the program will place much of its emphasis on MSM, IDU, persons who exchange sex for money, and on preventing re-infection and ongoing transmission among individuals living with HIV. Potential beneficiary populations include: People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), Men who have sex with men (MSM), Injecting Drug Users (IDU), and Entertainment Sector Workers (ESW).
Cost-effectiveness Strategy:
The CBPD award will have a strategy in place to reduce costs over time and create a sustainable program. Efforts to sensitize local authorities to the needs of people in relation to HIV/AIDS and raise awareness of how they can play a role in community investment planning will also contribute to sustainability. As will ensuring the participation of MARPs, PLHA and OVC in the development, implementation and monitoring of the program. Shifting the emphasis of HCBC from NGO-provided support to community-based self help will contribute to the sustainability of HCBC services. On-going organizational technical and management capacity-building will affect the sustainability of the program. The TBD implementer will clearly outline how they will maintain and increase the state-of-the-art technical and management skills and capacity of their own organization, as well as any local NGO/CBO implementing sub-partners and/or networks.
M&E Plan:
The CBPC award will be responsible for developing and executing a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) plan, in consultation with the AOTR. Expected program results with illustrative indicators, mid-term milestones/benchmarks, end-of-project results should be elaborated in the M&E plan. Data sources and collection methodologies should also be noted.
Cross-cutting Program/Key Issues--Gender:
The approved activity must address the following two guiding questions in relation to gender:
1. Are men and women involved or affected differently by the context or work to be undertaken?
2. If so, how will this difference be addressed in order to manage for sustainable program impact?
The CBPC award should address these questions by taking into account not only the different roles of men and women in Cambodia, but also the relationship and balance between them and institutional structures that support them.
