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 Track One activity is related to the USAID_HVAB_Food for the Hungry (2)_Activity #9389, the Field support funding AB activity for $500,000.
This Track One funding will continue Food for the Hungry's (FFH) "Healthy Choices" AB program promoting delay of sexual debut, abstinence and fidelity behaviors among youth and adults to increase knowledge and create supportive communities for AB behavior change. Youth to Youth peer groups, with support from FFHI staff, volunteer church members or community group leaders, will continue to use the skills-based "Choose Life" HIV awareness curriculum to foster behavior change at the community level. Youth play a pivotal role in sharing and advocating AB lessons to their family members and other members of the community.
Parents and other protective adult influences will continue to be actively involved in both youth focused programs and larger community/faith based programs for behavior change. Adults will be trained to educate and counsel their youth on abstinence and healthy sexuality using stories and other techniques appropriate to the local context. Influential leaders, pastors and teachers will continue to receive training on building a supportive environment in which healthier sexual behaviors are normalized and promoted. Using the newly develop "B" curriculum, FFH will intensify programs aimed at increasing the self risk perception among older, single youth, parents and other adults. In particular, activities focused on fidelity/partner reduction will emphasize the importance of knowing one's status through counseling and testing to effective protection through mutual fidelity.
Other activities include: --radio broadcasting of locally produced, youth generated programs of youth discussions and interviews on HIV and AB; --Community focus group discussions to identify key messages for community-led Awareness Campaigns through theatre, song and dance; --Fidelity programs focused on married young couples; --Youth to Parent outreach to reinforce AB behaviors in the home and to improve youth-parent communication skills; -inviting MOH Counseling and Testing staff to speak with youth and adults about procedures and benefits of counseling and testing
The main emphasis area of FFH's AB program is Community Mobilization/Participation. Key legislative issues addressed are Gender (Reducing Violence and Coercion) and Stigma. Community discussions will address sexual coercion and unhealthy sexual behavior, including transgenerational and transactional sex. Particular focus will be given to respond to cultural practices that increase girls' vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. Healthy Choices teaches youth that people with HIV can still be productive members of the community and live long healthy lives. Information about HIV testing and group visits to testing centers help youth overcome the fear that prevents them from getting tested and reduces stigma as more and more youth get tested and consider it a normal health care activity. This activity will take place in Maputo City and the provinces of Maputo, Gaza, Inhambane, Manica, Sofala and Tete provinces. Target populations for this program include: Children and Youth (Girls, Boys, Primary and Secondary Students), Adult men and women, community and religious leaders, and community and faith based organizations. Regular M&E will be strengthened by Quarterly partners meetings between FFH and its three sub-partners.
