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 HKID (8150, 8152).
ACDI/VOCA's partner, Africare, currently implements the Food Security and HIV/AIDS Initiative in Nyamagabe district in the Southern Province of Rwanda with Title II funding. The main objective of the project, which began in October 2005, is to improve the health and nutritional status of PLWHA and their family members and to reduce household and community vulnerability to HIV/AIDS and its effects. Over the last year, Africare trained 66 HBC volunteers to provide care and support to 668 PLWHA and their families from 31 different PLWHA Associations within Nyamagabe district. These services include HIV/AIDS prevention, healthy living, and nutritional information, psycho-social support, and supplementary feeding for malnourished PLWHA and OVC. Each HBC volunteer provides assistance to 10-15 households. As an incentive, Africare offers the HBC volunteers the opportunity to participate in IGA.
Title II direct food aid currently benefit thousands of HIV/AIDS affected households in Rwanda. USAID/Rwanda will support these important wrap-around programs by providing EP funding for two Africare staff positions - a nutritionist and a logistics manager. The EP funding will allow Africare to target its resources to support more beneficiaries while providing the staffing needed to manage the increased workloads. These positions will increase the overall integration of Title II and EP programming. The nutritionist will provide the following support: 1) train the HBC volunteers and Africare staff in IEC and Nutrition, 2) monitor and supervise the HBC volunteers, and 3) collaborate with other partners in the area. CHAMP, Twubakane, FHI and WFP support a number of activities in this district. The nutritionist will work closely with these partners to develop and maintain referral systems. This staff position will help ensure that the PLWHA and OVC referred to Africare's food aid program receive comprehensive services from the health facilities and community-based programs in the area. The logistics manager will be responsible for ensuring that all USG commodities are handled correctly and accounted for according to regulations until they reach the final beneficiaries. This position will supervise the warehouse staff, verify all warehouse reports for accuracy, report on delivery and warehouse losses, and dispose of any damaged food.
The EP support to the Title II program will allow the Africare program to increase their amount of direct food assistance. In FY 2007, the number of HBC volunteers will increase to 90 as the number of PLWHA households receiving food rations increases to over 900 every six-month period. Africare will move to a six-month food aid support package in FY 2007 in order to meet new GOR food aid protocols. The Title II funding will benefit a total of 1,800 HIV/AIDS affected households, or 9000 individuals, with food aid. There are no direct or indirect targets, however, for this activity as the beneficiaries will be directly counted by other partners providing PLWHA and OVC services. This increase in beneficiaries requires more management oversight and project monitoring, which the two EP-funded staff will provide.
This activity addresses the key legislative issue of food wrap around. This activity reflects the ideas presented in the Rwanda EP five-year strategy by integrating and linking PEPFAR programming with other USAID programming.
