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
ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY 2008.
Africare's Community Based Orphan Care, Protection and Empowerment (COPE) project's purpose is to
provide a comprehensive menu of services to OVC while strengthening the capacity of families and the
community to meet the needs of vulnerable children. In FY 2008, Africare is proving a range of services to
3,450 OVC including formal education and vocational training, health insurance, food and nutrition,
psychosocial support and household economic strengthening.
In FY 2009, Africare will increase the number of OVC to 5,012 who will benefit from the menu of services.
Out of school OVC will be enrolled in vocational training schools and provided with start-up kits upon
graduation. Child heads of households who are unable to attend formal or non-formal education will be
assisted to start income generating activities appropriate to their capacity and local community needs. The
project will create new and strengthen existing community and school-based COPE clubs. These are
instrumental in training youth as peer educators to provide OVC and other youth with correct information
about HIV and AIDS; allow youth to understand their own risk factors; support youth in abstaining from sex;
encouraging fidelity; and helping to develop youth's negotiation skills to sustain these healthy practices. The
COPE project will continue wrapping around PMI and other on-going USG-funded programs such as
Ibyiringiro food assistance project (of which Africare is a consortium partner), immunization, de-worming
and vitamin A distribution.
Africare will train 1,000 caregivers and help them to initiate backyard gardens or supplementary nutrition
interventions for OVC including mapping nutritional service providers and establishing linkages to secure
additional nutritional support. The caregivers will be helped to undertake selected income generation
activities after identifying commercial markets and initiating saving schemes. Caregivers' savings will serve
as a source of self sustained local investment and self support. Africare will provide relevant technical
assistance and capacity building to associations serving OVC in the local communities. Africare's service
corps volunteers will use the child status index to monitor OVC's well being for service quality assurance
and improvement.
Africare will bring together district authorities, religious leaders, teachers, and community members under
multi-sectoral district-level child forum and orphan care committees (OCC) to come up with one participatory
community OVC care and support strategy. This will help to improve program coordination and
harmonization of activities at decentralized levels. Africare will continue to work with and strengthen the
capacity of community volunteers in psychosocial support, basic child rights, trauma processing, HIV
prevention and monitoring the status of OVC and their families. Volunteers will link HIV-infected OVC to
health care services and malnourished OVC to food assistance programs.
Recognizing that gender often determines the needs and roles of youth in communities and families, as well
as their access to services, Africare's approach will continue to ensure 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, free from sexual abuse, exploitation and HIV; in that context Africare will continue
to increase the knowledge of community leaders, caregivers, and OVC in the areas of inheritance and
property rights to both women, young girls, and OVC in general.
As a phase out strategy, Africare's main focus in FY 2009 will be to strengthen FBO and CBO capacity for
OVC care and support through training in financial and program management, community mobilization and
strategic partnerships. Africare will work towards handing over some of the supported beneficiaries to
selected FBO/CBO in the areas of intervention to take over direct service provision to OVC by the end of
the Track 1.0 cooperative agreement.
