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 relates to OVC (7186).
The Expanded COPE project aims to provide a comprehensive menu of services to OVC while strengthening the capacity of OVC, their families, and the community to meet the needs of vulnerable children. The project will coordinate and expand services for OVC, including education, health care, nutrition, psychosocial support, and vocational training. District officials, community leaders and OVC will be instrumental in the process of selecting beneficiaries and needed services.
This project will train community volunteers in psychosocial support, basic human rights for children, nutrition, trauma processing, HIV/AIDS prevention and monitoring the status of OVC and their families. These volunteers will routinely visit the homes of beneficiaries using a family-centered, holistic approach in delivering emotional support and referrals to other services. Volunteers will link sick OVC to health care services and malnourished OVC to food assistance (Africare is also a Title II implementing partner). The project will provide technical nutritional support and initiate backyard gardens. COPE will train caregivers in IGA support areas and assist them in undertaking selected income generation activities which have an identified commercial market. OVC will be enrolled in vocational training schools. COPE will provide relevant technical assistance and capacity building to associations serving OVC in the local communities.
Volunteers will create COPE clubs supported through CBOs, churches, schools and PLWHA associations in the communities served by the project. To avoid stigma, both OVC and non-OVC will participate in the club meetings which will serve to deliver HIV/AIDS education and recruit peer educators. Using a three month curriculum, volunteers will train youth as peer educators who will provide OVC and other youth with correct information about HIV/AIDS; allow youth to understand their own risk factors; support youth in abstaining from sex; promote partners reduction and fidelity; and develop youth's negotiation skills to sustain these healthy practices. Particular attention will be given to the participation of OVC as peer educators.
Churches and other CBOs will organize caregiver support groups to provide additional psychosocial support for OVC and their caregivers. Africare will provide training in financial and program management to new partner FBOs and CBOs. Africare will assemble religious leaders, teachers, district authorities, and community members to form a multi-sectoral district-level Child Forum and Orphan Community Care (OCC) committees to determine selection criteria and identify beneficiaries. This project will not duplicate existing government structures, but work in close partnership with the existing Community District Committees, MIGEPROF and the other EP OVC implementers. Africare recognizes that gender often determines the needs and roles of youth in communities and families, as well as their access to services. Africare's approach ensures that both girls and boys are linked to appropriate services according to their age group and identified needs, and that girls have access to educational opportunities. Through this program AFRICARE will serve 4,000 OVC.
This activity supports the Rwanda EP five-year strategy of mobilizing and supporting local Rwandan organizations to provide community-based care for Rwanda's most vulnerable children. It also supports two key legislative issues: stigma and discrimination; and, increasing women's access to income and productive resources.
