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.
07-X1407 Botswana Network for Ethics, Law and HIV/AIDS (BONELA).
This activity has USG Team Botswana Internal Reference Number X1407. This activity links to the following: X1408 & X1409 & X1414 & X1490.
BONELA, a non-governmental organization, is secretariat to the Ethics, Law and Human Rights (ELRH) sub-committee of the NAC and is responsible for coordinating the implementation of the sector plan. This is the third year of USG support to this organization for its work in policy and legal issues related to HIV/AIDS. Many policy and legal gaps related to HIV/AIDS have been identified in Botswana, particularly in the area of ethics and human rights. Among the most important of these are related to protection from discrimination in employment, women's sexual and reproductive rights and the rights of marginalized groups, included people with disabilities.
In FY 05 and FY 06, BONELA received EP funding to employ a policy advisor to implement activities outlined in the ELHR (spell out) strategic plan. These activities focused on building consensus among policy makers on legislative and policy reform; developing institutional capacity for compliance to ethics, law and human rights standards at sector level; and raising public awareness of ethics, law and human rights related to HIV and AIDS.
In 2007, the policy advisor will continue to implement the sector's plan with a focus on promoting awareness of human rights and legislative issues related to HIV/AIDS highlighted by a recent legislative review. Workshops, to be held across 10 districts, will target interest groups, the private sector, community leaders, development organizations, PLWHA support groups and DACs and will aim to increase support for more rapid law reform and implementation of new legislation. The participation of community leaders is anticipated to promote cultural sensitivity into ELHR issues, HIV/AIDS and the law. It is expected that an employment bill aimed at preventing discrimination of HIV-infected employees and job applicants will be passed next year; this law, therefore, be will be the focus of much of the discussion.
The media campaign aimed at raising awareness on existing gaps in the legislation, current ELHR issues and the promotion and protection of human rights of those affected by HIV/AIDS and their families will continue in 2007.
A new initiative aimed at reducing stigma and discrimination will be added in 2007. BONELA will expand their Human Rights and HIV Training, currently used to raise awareness of human rights issues, to include training on stigma and discrimination.
