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 activity is related to USAID_HKID_Africare_Activity# 9110.
Africare has been an active partner in OVC programming from the beginning of PEPFAR under Track 1 funding. They have had the only OVC program in Manica Province, which is located on the main road to Zimbabwe, in the highly infected Beira Corridor. Africare works with 42 Community Care Committees which help to identify needy OVC and to assist them in care and support services. They also have 13 FBOs and 2 CBOs as current sub-partners. To date, Africare has reached 21,616 OVC which is well on their way to accomplishing their goal of 34,444 by end of fiscal year 2006. In addition 1,486 of a targeted 1,500 caregivers have already been trained.
Africare provides OVC with the package 6 essential services through community support, wrap around services, collaborative programming and working with local government offices. The Africare OVC program takes advantage of their sister USAID project in food security through the development and collaborative support of community farm fields. Here older OVC learn how to plant, care and harvest several types of food and benefit from consumption and sale of these food stuffs. Block grants are provided to 10 schools in the area. These small grants offer funding in support of the entire school program in exchange for free schooling for the OVC. During the last report period, Africare trained 30 headmasters, PTA presidents and local parents from the 10 schools in the school grants program. Working with the local offices of civil registration allows Africare to acquire ID cards for their school children. Africare is also working with Habitat for Humanity (a Track 1 recipient) which builds houses for OVC, particularly households headed by the elderly or are orphaned themselves.
In an attempt to improve the M&E system of the OVC program, Africare engaged 25 "Service Corps Volunteers" who work as supervisors in 25 communities. They received a 5 day training on program management, community strengthening, HIV/AIDS education and monitoring and evaluation. Thus, the monitoring and reporting instruments have been re-designed and are more user friendly. This should result in more accurate reports and ways of identifying concerns and opportunities in each community. Data analysis and reporting should also be strengthened due to further training in electronic data collection, storage and analysis.
The COP07 activities will allow Africare to continue activities being implemented under Africare's Track 1 award and mission supplement. These activities will provide continued care, support and protection for OVC and their caregivers by strengthening the capacity of families to cope with their problems and increasing the capacity of children and young people to meet their own needs. The objectives of the project include enhancing local capacity of NGOs/CBOs/FBOs and communities to support a basic care package for OVC and increasing access to direct support services for OVC and caregivers. The project will ensure that OVC are receiving the six essential services defined by the USG and the Ministry of Women and Social Action needed to be considered "reached". Africare will continue to provide wrap around services through collaboration with various local international organizations. Under a subgrant to Habitat for Humanity, 30 houses will be constructed of OVC using local materials and training OVC in construction skills. Africare strives to build the capacities of local NGO/CBOs/FBOs so that they can effectively manage their own HIV/AIDS programs in a sustainable way. This will include training on organizational capacity building, strengthening their monitoring and evaluation systems, leadership skills and organizational management as well as mobilization of funds. In addition, Africare will work with other partners such as HIV/AIDS Alliance, Burnet Institute and others to ensure that specific institutional capacity training and policy issues as well as HIV/AIDS specific training is provided to sub-grantees.
Under this activity, Africare will reach 40,000 OVC with a comprehensive quality package of 6 services and train 2,500 caregivers.
