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.
Goals and Objectives It is estimated that approximately 2.4 Million (11%) of Kenyan children below 15 years of age are orphans (KDHS, 2003); approximately 1 million (42%) of these have been orphaned due to AIDS (estimated from KNASP 2005/6-2009/10). As of September 30th 2009, the PEPFAR in Kenya was supporting 568,811 OVC with direct services. Two of the major social crises plaguing Kenya are gender based violence, specifically in the form of sexual violence against women and children, and human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV and AIDS). Whereas a high number of women and children report experiencing sexual violence on a regular basis, during times of crises the numbers escalate (see below). Studies indicate that the risk of acquiring HIV is higher among women who have been exposed to violence than those who have not (UNIFEM, Gender Based Violence, Both Cause and Consequences of HIV and AIDS, 4 August 2008). The increased numbers of defilement cases (2008 Kenya police crime report and data) is further compounded by insufficient human resources which affect the department of Children Services capacity to effectively deal with OVC issues in Kenya. This is particularly aggravated by the increased workload from the Cash Transfer program funded by GoK/World Bank, DFID and UNICEF and the lack of established Children's Offices in all districts, particularly the newly created districts.
The TBD project will focus on the following result areas:-
Result 1: Strengthen the Department of Children Services to effectively handles OVC issues Result 2:- Establish a comprehensive child protection system that will address the continuum from prevention to response, including violence against children. Result 3:- Building the capacity of PEPFAR funded partners in delivering household economic strengthening programs to bolster family capacity to provide OVC with comprehensive care.
How does this link to the Partnership Framework Goals. One of the key focus areas of the Partnership framework is on establishing or strengthening policies to support optimally effective HIV responses and address and mitigate societal norms or cultural practices that impede effective programming. The Partnership framework also lays an emphasis on supporting community efforts and mitigation programs including capacity building for households with OVC and to expand care for children by AIDS.
The TBD project will address current challenges in effectively responding to the increased numbers of defilement cases (2008 Kenya Police crime report and data); insufficient human resources that affects the Department's capacity to effectively deal with OVC issues in Kenya and build the capacity of PEPFAR funded partners to re-energize household economic strengthening activities as one strategy for increasing capacity of households to care for their own OVC.
Geographic Coverage and target populations. This will support national and regional efforts in building capacity of the Department of Children Services as well as enhancing PEPFAR funded partners' capacity in handling and referring defilement cases and in identifying high yielding strategies for enhancing Household Economic Strengthening (HES) in existing OVC programs.
Cross-cutting programs and key issues: TBD partners will support gender issues, including male involvement to address male norms to indirectly strengthen women's ability to access health services, Protection and land tenure; focus on achieving gender equity in HIV/AIDS activities and services and increasing women's access to income and productive resources through IGA activities. The TBD partners will build the capacity of local partners to address gender-based vulnerabilities and risk factors for OVC, support stronger linkages to reproductive health/family planning services, PwP messaging and interventions for those HIV-positive. TBD partners will support robust mechanisms that support delivery of quality services and referrals; and build sustainable community based structures to ensure continuum of care for OVC.
IM strategy to become more cost efficient over time (e.g. coordinated service delivery, PPP, lower marginal costs etc). Enhancing capacity of Department of Children Services may include mapping of OVC service providers to better inform future programming. Mapping would provide crucial information on where service provides are and identify un-served populations and provide a framework for a more robust community based referral mechanisms.
TBD will be an activity providing support to National and regional partners working in the eight provinces of Kenya that are providing care and support services to HIV infected and affected Orphans and Vulnerable Children and their families and will build on the progress of APHIA II and Track 1.0 OVC activities in reaching out to OVC and their families using community based approaches.
Given Government of Kenya's focus on cash transfer, increased number of defilement cases, newly created districts and lack of established Children offices in these new districts, the TBD partner will work closely with Department of Children Services and other key stakeholders such as UNICEF, World Bank and DFID to ensure that the Department has the capacity it needs, including sufficient human resources, in dealing with OVC issues
The TBD partner will strengthen the capacity of PEPFAR funded regional partners in bolstering family capacity to provide OVC with comprehensive care, a greater focus will be on identifying strategies for enhancing Household Economic Strengthening (HES) in OVC programs. The partner will support PEPFAR OVC partners to ensure that economic strengthening activities and vocational training for older OVC and caregivers are adequately linked to market conditions.
The TBD partner will work with both National and Regional partners to support Government of Kenya efforts in building a comprehensive child protection system that will address the continuum from prevention to response, including violence against children. The TBD partner will support the establishment of community based mechanisms that will promote a referral mechanism to proposed protection centre and to health facilities to ensure abused children access the support they require.
