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-P0213: Botswana Christian AIDS Intervention Program, BOCAIP.
This activity has USG Team Botswana Internal Reference Number P0213. This activity links to the following: C0908 & C0912 & P0202 & P0203 & P0204 & P0211 & P0504 & X1406.
Objectives BOCAIP provides comprehensive counseling and support to community members. BOCAIP network centers and satellites provide training on HIV/AIDS and prevention for pastors and youth, and facilitate outreach and counseling activities for the community. The program is active in Gaborone, Lobatse, Kanye, Molepolole, Francistown, Selebi Phikwe, Masunga, Maun, Serowe Tsabong, Gantsi, and Ramotswa.
Through this funding, BOCAIP will sustain its contribution to the prevention strategies focusing more on behavior change interventions through provision of services at four of the already established centers. Implementation will be carried out at the following centers; Kgomotso in Tsabong, Keletso in Molepolole, Tshepong in Gaborone and Galagwe in Masunga.
The program's objectives are: •To increase community's awareness of HIV issues and HIV services in the selected villages/towns where BOCAIP centers are situated. •To promote education and discussions among couples and youth regarding sexuality and abstinence, including fidelity •To promote de-stigmatization and undertake education programs that encourage use of HIV/AIDS services
Specific activities include: Training of volunteer Pastors on issues of sexuality, relationships and fidelity Volunteer pastors will be trained to facilitate discussions and promote HIV education among couples. Many people still find it difficult to talk about sex and consequently HIV prevention.
Couple Counseling and Marriage enrichment Workshops Three of the BOCAIP centers in Serowe, Selibe Phikwe and Kanye have a relationship with the respective District Commissioners (DCs). DCs in these areas have an arrangement with BOCAIP centers to provide pre-marital and marital counseling services to couples who come to the office. Marriage enrichment workshop will also be conducted for couples at the 4 centers.
On site Counseling This is a daily service to be offered by trained counselors on a one-on-one basis at selected sites to individuals who have undertaken voluntary testing services, and to family members to help them cope with their loved one's positive HIV status.
Community Counseling The program intends to furnish individuals with information so as to enable them to make less risky choices. People will be encouraged to know their status, and those who are positive are encouraged to live positively and access HIV/AIDS services.
Church and Community Mobilization/Outreach This involves presentations to the community. Outreach seeks to create awareness in the community of the facts about HIV/AIDS. The outreach aspect of this program will also seek to challenge individuals to make positive decisions about their sexuality and access existing HIV/AIDS interventions. BOCAIP seeks to utilize two types of outreach: small-scale outreach, which has been the norm, and a large-scale approach. Counselors at each center normally demarcate areas in their localities to reach people at the household level to increase their awareness of HIV/AIDS issues.
Abstinence Peer- Mentors Training on Participatory Life skills based HIV education and implementation of youth sessions on Abstinence and Behavior Life skills training is an effective education strategy which uses participatory exercises to teach behaviors to young people that help them deal with the challenges and the demands of everyday life. It includes decision making and problem solving skills, self awareness
communication, and interpersonal relations. In this program the approach will be used to help young people assess the individual and social factors that lower their risk of HIV transmission.
Stigma Reduction campaign during national Month of Prayer Stigma is mostly related to passing judgment on the basis of one's behavior. There is a need to increase the community‘s awareness on how to ensure non-stigmatizing and non-discriminatory attitude towards PLWHAs, and how to assist those who have been stigmatized. All sites will hold campaigns within the month of September (declared as a National Month of Prayer).
