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: 2008 2009
This is a continuing Track 1 activity under COP08.
The FY2007 reprogramming narrative below has not been changed.
In FY06, World Relief continued its AB program within schools, churches and communities. Youth in the
Maputo program have signed abstinence commitment cards and parents continue to be directly recruited
and involved in Youth-centered AB activities. In FY06 World Relief reached 45,814 individuals with AB
messages and trained 4,250 individuals to promote AB.
This funding will enable World Relief to continue implementation of its Track One funded Mobilizing Youth
for Life (MYFL) program, utilizing the "Choose Life" curriculum in Sofala, Maputo, Gaza and Inhambane
provinces. MYFL targets youth and those adults who influence them. Using interactive training and peer
education sessions in a supportive environment, youth are able to build skills that increase self-efficacy to
practice AB behaviors. World Relief's "Choose Life: Helping Youth make Wise Choices" values-based
Abstinence and Behavior Change Curriculum uses stories, illustrations and discussion questions. Lessons
are conducted in youth friendly environments such as after-school programs and churches and include
HIV/AIDS, sexuality, decision making, peer pressure, changes due to puberty and family life.
With this funding, World Relief Mozambique will cooperate with WR's International Technical Unit to
develop supplementary lessons to Choose Life, focused on mutual faithfulness and partner reduction, to
address the needs of older youth and adults. This is in line with recommendations from the Prevention TA
Team's January 2007 visit to Mozambique to complement youth focused activities with adult-focused "B"
behavior change activities that increase an individual's risk perception. Activities discussing faithfulness
should also discuss the importance of a mutually faithful couple knowing their HIV status in order to
successfully reduce their risk by being faithful.
In addition to addressing individual youth behavior change for abstinence and being faithful, the MYFL
program also stimulates social discussions on safer sexual norms and behaviors. Intergenerational
community meetings and discussions are held to stimulate local questions and solutions to address harmful
norms that perpetuate risk, such as gender based violence and the imbalance of negotiating power in
sexual relationships. World Relief is encouraged to specifically address the three behaviors of cross
generational sex, transactional sex and multiple, concurrent partnerships.
In response to MEASURE Evaluation's recommendations, WR will: a) supplement the Choose Life
curriculum with material on STIs and alcohol and drug abuse. As requested by both trainers and
volunteers, information and photos of STIs will be made available for these additional lessons; b) provide
supervisors with additional training on facilitating adult activities (e.g., counseling skills); c) supplement
Choose Life curriculum with visits from health workers who can speak about Counseling and Testing, STI
services as well as visits from others who can speak about child abuse and psycho-social support.
