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-P0216: Flying Mission
This activity has USG Team Botswana Internal Reference Number P0216. This activity links to the following: P0202 & P0204 & P0211 & X1406.
The objective of this program is to prevent the spread of HIV in Botswana through character development training, with an emphasis on abstinence before marriage and faithfulness in marriage.
With FY06 funds, the program has run consultation meetings with village leadership structures (Chiefs, DACs, religious leaders, Village Development Committees etc.) to cultivate buy-in for program implementation. Ten life skills workshops were held using the Better Choices curriculum in 2 areas in Gaborone and 5 villages, and 375 peer educators were trained; these peer educators formed 10 abstinence clubs that will commence soon. Twenty-four of the 375 life skills teachers have been selected to attend a more advanced Life at the Crossroads life skills program and will be placed in schools to train in-school youth during Guidance and Counseling lessons, and also to program clients (orphans, patients, counselees, school classes, and church groups). This activity will reach at least 150 abstinence club members and 300 students in schools. A pre-test and post-test questionnaire was developed to measure changes in knowledge and attitudes during implementation.
The program faced several challenges during the past year, including delayed access to funding, and instances where the program implementation plan clashed with other activities in the coverage areas. Given these circumstances, in FY07 the program will continue to consult stakeholders for more buy-in and to ensure sustainability. The program will also identify and train an additional 100 peer educators using Better Choices life skills curriculum; it will select 200 graduates of the Better Choices training and train them in Life at the Crossroads life skills program. The expanded Life at the Crossroads life skills program pool of teachers will reach an expanded number of abstinence club members and 300 students in schools. The program will hold an annual workshop for the life skills teachers so they can to share ideas and information, network and to review the program. Through the use of the pre and post test questionnaire, any changes in knowledge and attitudes will be measured and documented. The program will undertake monitoring visits and provide on-the-job technical support.
Flying Mission collaborates with Campus Crusade for Christ. They are the curriculum designers and accredit the Life at the Cross Roads training workshop and certify participants.
