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 has USG Team Botswana Internal Reference Number P0207. This activity links to the following: P0210 & P0224 & P0501 & P0504 & P0507.
This program aims to improve the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS prevention programs by strengthening program managers' capacity to fully mainstream gender into HIV/AIDS programs. The aim is to maximize the overall effectiveness of HIV prevention programs by discouraging negative gender stereotypes or myths, and by encouraging more equitable attitudes about men and women in Botswana.
With FY06 funds, the ongoing program is sensitizing 200 men and women in Ghanzi and Chobe Districts on gender and HIV/AIDS, and support the use of peer education, peer counseling and peer modeling strategies to educate others in the districts. FY06 funds support the development, printing, and distribution of age and orientation-specific, culturally appropriate IEC materials on gender and HIV/AIDS that target specific groups. Staff from 8 Women Sector member organizations are being trained on mainstreaming gender into HIV and AIDS programs, and the program is further strengthening the capacity of 10 psychosocial service providers on supportive counseling and service referrals for victims of gender based violence.
The program also is building capacity in 4 Women Sector secretariat (WAD) officers in areas where there is need (e.g. mainstreaming gender into HIV programs, program planning and management, strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation etc), so that the officers are able to provide technical assistance to the sector member organizations. It also provides capacity building to 10 men sector member organizations on peer education, peer counseling and peer modeling in order to reduce gender based violence, sexual coercion, increase male involvement and address male norms and behaviors. Finally the funds are supporting the employment of 1 program officer at C1 scale to coordinate activities funded under EP funds, on a 1 year (renewable) contract.
FY07 funds will continue to support these kinds of activities. The plan is to mobilize and sensitize 400 community members in Lobatse, Palapye, Maun and Tsabong on gender and HIV/AIDS through 4 regional workshops, 1 at each locality. These will be reinforced with community dialogues in kgotlas, discussion sessions, and other community forums. The program will reach out to the general population on gender and HIV through IEC strategies. These include packaging of messages in Sorghum bags, bus and kombi advertising, bill boards (stationary and electronic), TV and Radio spots, and license disks. In addition to these, print material like brochures, newspaper features, posters and calendars will be developed. The program will observe gender and/or HIV related commemorations like "sixteen days of activism against gender-based violence," International Women's Day, Consumer Fairs, and World AIDS Day and the National Women's Exposition. These will give the program mileage in raising awareness about gender issues and HIV/AIDS, and other gender-related issues like gender-based violence, spouse bartering, and others.
The program also will continue to strengthen and build capacity of available counseling service providers and their referral networks, so as to extend their reach and make them more efficacious. This will make counseling services accessible to everyone and curb gender related problems that help fuel the epidemic. The program will also engage a consultant to assess and develop a strategic plan and other comprehensive work plans to help guide the gender-HIV activities of the Women's Affairs Department. Throughout the plans described here, the program will seek to coordinate with and involve representatives of the men's sector.
