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.

Tanzania Youth Scholars, a project implemented by IYF, will provide OVC aged 14-24 with employability and life skills to successfully transition from school to work or develop other livelihood opportunities. Working with local organizations, IYF will deliver various services ranging from informal education to small business start-up support to orphaned and vulnerable youth. The project goal will be met through three strategic objectives:
1. Providing livelihood opportunities to 3,200 OVC through scholarships for secondary education, vocational training, counseling, life skills training, internships, job placements, and business start-up assistance;
2. Building the capacity of civil society partners to manage and coordinate OVC programs through grant-making, technical support, knowledge dissemination, and networking with stakeholders; and
3. Improving the tracking and coordinated reporting of PEPFAR-funded OVC scholarships.
IYF will implement the project in 10 regions throughout the country and support 3,200 MVC and youth, particularly girls. In FY 2012, IYF will incorporate GHI strategies to focus efforts on leveraging resources from private sector partners to complement USG/T scholarship funds. With an aim to transition activities to local implementing partners, the project will strengthen partners' capacity in program management and service delivery, including resource mobilization skills and grant writing training that will be facilitated between partners and private sector stakeholders.
IYF will continuously monitor progress toward PEPFAR, country-level, and project targets. In FY 2012, IYF will also develop a tool to improve coordination of data collection and track the number of scholarships provided to OVC throughout Tanzania.
International Youth Foundation (IYF) implements three projects in Tanzania, all of which address education and quality of life for children and youth. IYF's Tanzania Youth Scholars Program aims to provide OVC aged 14-24 with employability and life skills to successfully transition from school to work or to develop livelihood opportunities. The project targets vulnerable youth in the 10 regions of Tanzania, providing scholarships, training, and psychosocial support with the goal of strengthening youth resilience to the effects of HIV, improved well-being, and reduced vulnerability. The project contributes to national USG/T goals for OVC by strengthening household economies in order to reduce vulnerability, particularly amongst girls. The project's life skills and psychosocial support components also contribute to the third Intermediate Result of the GHI strategy by strengthening social norms and increasing the uptake of health-seeking behaviors. By paying particular attention to girls, the project emphasizes a core principle of GHI in focusing on girls and gender equality. In addition, the project intends to support the prevention goal of the PFIP by addressing transactional sex, a key driver of HIV infection in Tanzania, through economic empowerment of vulnerable girls.
The main components of Tanzania Youth Scholars are scholarships for secondary and vocational education students and business start-up kits to increase employability, a strategy which evidence shows serves as a protective measure against HIV infection, particularly for vulnerable girls. The project will use a mix of strategies to support education of OVC, including implementing School Block Grants, a resource-exchange mechanism, and recognized best practices, in which schools and vocational centers provide waivers to identified OVC in exchange for material and equipment grants. The grants to the educational institutions help improve the quality of the school, thus also indirectly supporting non-OVC. In addition, all partners provide life skills training using evidence-based curricula, counseling, career guidance, and job placement support.
Tanzania Youth Scholars will work with three primary partners as follows:
(1) Vocational Education Training Authority (VETA), a Tanzanian government authority, will provide three years of vocational training paired with core subjects, such as mathematics, technical drawing, entrepreneurship, communication skills, English, and computer applications;
(2) Campaign for Female Education (Camfed), an international NGO, will provide scholarships and mentoring for girls secondary education to ensure school completion; and
(3) Kiota Women Health and Development Organization (KIWOHEDE), a local NGO based in Dar es Salaam, will provide six months of easy-entry vocational training, such as painting, masonry, food production, hairdressing, tailoring, etc. Some youth will also be provided with business start-up support.
IYF's partnership with VETA, Camfed, and KIWOHEDE will enhance the quality of local initiatives to address youth education and unemployment. IYF will strengthen the capacity of the three partners in program management and resource mobilization using Public-Private Partnerships to increase funding for vulnerable children and youth to complete their education.
