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-P0220: True Love Waits.
This activity has USG Team Botswana Internal Reference Number P0220. This activity links to the following: P0211 & P0218 & X1406.
True Love Waits (TLW) advocates abstinence education that is informed by social values and is sensitive to local cultural norms. In Ghanzi District, the program will target in- and out-of-school youth, and young church members. The program will strengthen and (in some cases, identify new) partnerships with area schools, churches and non-governmental organizations to provide tailored programs for focused outreach, education and training for youth ages 13- 29 years. The program objectives are: 1. To promote abstinence as the best and 100% safe prevention against HIV/AIDS, STIs, teenage pregnancy, etc. and equip young people (13-29 years) to make sound and informed decisions. concerning sexual behavior, i.e. to choose abstinence (primary or secondary virginity) until marriage. 2. To build support structures for young people within schools and the community to maintain their virginity or abstinence pledge. 3. To develop culturally and socially appropriate IEC/BCC materials on abstinence. 4. To identify, train and support abstinence educators who will support abstinence clubs in schools.
In schools, the program will conduct a series of school-wide seminars including multi-media presentations, discussions, and referrals for additional counseling support. TLW utilizes several curricula (including Scriptures Union Zimbabwe's "Adventure Unlimited"; the "Sex Respect" video series; and, the "True Love Waits" guide) to tailor programs according to the needs and interests of partner schools and the local communities. The program also conducts specialized, follow-up training for a select number of youth (and teachers). Youth are trained as peer educators to provide awareness raising and support through outreach, referrals and the establishment of abstinence-only clubs. The abstinence-only clubs undertake school-wide and small group-based activities (informal drama such as role play, arts and sport activities) to provide youth opportunities to share and discuss abstinence-only messages. Trained teachers provide ongoing support to the abstinence-only clubs and serve as a linkage between the clubs and school management. In churches, the program will conduct focused outreach to congregation leaders (including pastors and deacons) to support the promotion of abstinence among church-associated youth groups (including scripture unions). The program will conduct tailored seminars for identified youth group where peer educators will present to provide additional counseling and support.
