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: 2012 2013 2014 2015
Peace Corps (PC) works in all regions of Guyana targeting the general population with a primary focus on youth but collaborates with other USG partners to serve MARPS as well. The goals of Peace Corps Program in Guyana are: (1) To assist efforts by the relevant Ministries and NGOs, (2) To increase the effectives of these efforts by facilitating community involvement , the training of service providers and introducing new approaches to HIV/AIDS prevention and (3) To provide community service and health education outreach to target populations. As integrated members of their communities, PCVs are able leverage additional community resources to enable local, sustainable responses. As a USG PEPFAR partner, PC supports Goals 1 and 2 of the draft Partnership Framework and subsequently is in support of Guyanas transition model of limited technical collaboration as oulined in the Guyana PEPFARs Vision Statement 2012-2017. Our strategic approach in support of greater country ownership will be in the form of interventions addressing the following: 1. Capacity building in monitoring and evaluation of impact prevention intervention 2. Support to local organizations that focus on reducing HIV transmission through behavioral and structural approaches that address conditions underlying and influencing behavior and capacity building in advocacy leadership among NGOs/CBOs and individuals from within vulnerable populations 4. Coordinate community diagnostic information compilation by PCVs to enhance the asset mapping process piloted by MOH. Note: An additional $15,000 carryover funds from FY11 not refected in current funding sources will be used to support these activties.
Approximately 75% of health volunteers are attached to health care facilities in various Regions of Guyana. Volunteers work with their host agencies/facilities and counterparts to improve the existing collection, management and use of strategic information systems, in line with the objectives of the Ministry of Health's Strategic Information Systems and Central Surveillance units. Peace Corps Guyana will continue to improve the existing collection, management and use of strategic information within the health sector. This will be achieved through the efforts of both generalist and specialist volunteers by: (1) Supporting health workers for case surveillance, operational research and health information systems. (2) Collaboration with other USG agencies on targeted interventions. (3) Information Technology training for health care workers and IT personnel within the health sector. (4) Development of databases and responsive training to health staff
Peace Corps has 65% and 35% of its Volunteers serving in coastal and interior/indigenous communities of Guyana, respectively, with a primary focus on the youth population generally and addressing MARPS especially in the interior/indigenous locations. In support of PEPFAR interagency efforts, Peace Corps Volunteers will focus on capacity building in advocacy leadership among NGOs/CBOs and individuals from within vulnerable populations. In addition, Peace Corps will develop and implement a core set of cost-effective, context appropriate and evidence based strategies for HIV prevention focusing on the behavioral and structural strategies to address knowledge, attitudes, risk perception, and sexual behavior of MARPs and OVP. This will be achieved through: (a) Adapting evidence based/high impact prevention interventions (b) Integrating behavior change strategies into every volunteer activity while promoting HIV/AIDS awareness and evidence based behavior change interventions with OVPs (c) Collaboration with other USG agencies on targeted MARPS interventions (d) Life skills development with OVPs
