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.
1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES This activity relates to activities in Counseling and Testing (#8976) and Palliative Care: Basic Care and Support (#8936).
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION Christian Children's Fund (CCF)'s Weaving the Safety Net project aims to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS on orphans and other vulnerable children and adolescents in Thika and Kiambu Districts in Kenya. The project responds to the current gap in psychosocial programming while strengthening community structures to care and support OVC and youth. To meet this goal, CCF supports the provision of sustainable, high-quality essential services through: strengthening the capacity of families to cope with their problems; mobilizing and strengthening community-based responses; increasing the capacity of children and young people to meet their own needs; raising awareness within societies to create an environment that enables support for children affected by HIV/AIDS; and developing, evaluating, disseminating, and applying best practices and state-of-the-art knowledge in the area of quality OVC programming. In order to reach many OVC with quality interventions and to facilitate sustainability of program impact, CCF's main implementation approach is partnership. Program activities will cover a broad range of services. In the area of psychosocial support (PSS) and Journey of Life (JOL), the Trainer of Trainers (TOTs) on Psychosocial Programming and JOL will continue to facilitate training for the OVC and Community's Own Resource Persons who will include their caregivers (teachers, guardians, CBO/FBO and other community leaders). Monitoring of the PSS will be intensified to ensure that the children receive the service and enhance their resilience. In child protection, the program will continue to scale up paralegal activities through the TOTs trained and strengthen linkages with service providers. The participants will include: OVC parents/guardians, religious leaders, chiefs, HBC supervisors, teachers, and representatives from the Children's Department, probation and other relevant departments. Working together with the local implementing partners (LIPs), the paralegals will be assisted to form community paralegal clinics in order to make their services more easily accessible to the community. The paralegals will also be involved in all community fora organized by LIPs, HBC teams, religious leaders and other CORPs as a way of raising awareness on child protection issues. The program will support formation/strengthening of the Child Right's club's activities (ROC) in the various schools, where the teachers and the children were trained on (ROC) in the second year. Children and youth will be facilitated to air their views on issues affecting them through radio features that will be supported by the program. The program will support in development of various IEC materials with messages pertaining to the plight of OVCs and youth. Youth tournaments will be supported at various levels at the community for awareness creation in addition to increasing youth participation as well as planning and monitoring of the program. CCF will also work in the area of economic strengthening, by providing support to schools' income generating activities. The program will continue to improve household income through support to micro credit services to vulnerable households in partnership with a leading micro finance institution (K-Rep Development Agency). The educational support component of CCF's program will include identification of the OVC for vocational training, and other areas of interest that can be supported by the program. All the adolescents benefiting from vocational training will also be linked to basic business management, counseling support, training in life skills, mentoring and recreational facilities to ensure a holistic approach to their development. The guardians of these OVC will be targeted for home-based care services as well as other safety net services such as income generating activities and psychosocial support through support groups. In shelter and nutrition, CCF will continue to forge stronger partnership with the local implementing partners to provide a meal a day to the OVC at early childhood development centers through the provision of unimix whereas in shelter, clothing and bedding will be the focus
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA The program will reach 20,000 OVC (9,000 boys and 11,000 girls) and train 3,750 caregivers in various areas/services described above. This will be done with the local implementing partners to ensure continuity and ownership of the interventions.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES This activity is linked to home based care services and counseling and testing
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
The target population is primarily the young OVC (0-18 year - HIV infected and affected children), their caregivers, HIV affected and/or infected families, children who are head of households, abused and neglected children.
6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED Issues to be addressed include wrap arounds of food, micro finance/micro credit, and secondary school fees for OVC, stigma and discrimination.
7. EMPHASIS AREAS Major emphasis area is community involvement/ownership, development and strengthening linkages/referral system and minor emphasis is monitoring and evaluation, IEC and quality programming.
