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-C0810: Mothers Union Orphan Care Centre.
This activity has USG Team Botswana Internal Reference Number C0810. This activity links to the following: C0602 & C0613 & C0618 & C0805 & C0901 & T1114 & T1115 & X1406.
The Mother's Union Orphan Care Centre is a non-profit community-based program focused mainly on care and support of OVC. It is managed by Mothers' Union Women Dioceses, a Faith-Based Organization in the Anglican Church. Its activities are focused on children in and around Mahalapye village. The program was initiated in response to social ills such as child abuse and neglect as well as the continued spread of HIV/AIDS. This situation produced a growing number of orphans without basic resources and in most cases socially distressed. The center enrolls children between the ages 3 to 18 years and provides them with psychosocial support services and other basic services.
The main purpose of this program is to optimize early childhood development of OVC through the provision of early childhood learning. Mother's Union also provides services to OVC who are on ARV treatment. The center provides services such as feeding, home visits, assistance with OVC registration in primary schools, and assistance with homework. Under the proposed program, a more comprehensive approach to identification of and service to OVC within the community will be started with the training of community volunteers to assist in community outreach.
Community involvement and participation is central to implementation of this program. Communities and relevant stakeholders are mobilized and sensitized on OVC issues. Specific program activities include:
• Community involvement in the identification and care for OVC • Training of volunteers on the care and support of OVC • Provision of care and support to OVC enrolled on the program • Provision of psychosocial support through Kids' Clubs and Camps
During FY05 and FY06, the Centre was able to address the psychosocial support needs of at least 300 OVC. Mother's Union also established kids' clubs, trained caregivers and undertook home visits. In FY07, the program will continue to scale up its activities to ensure that an additional 200 OVC benefit, bringing the total number to at least 500 OVC.
In FY07, the program will continue to collaborate with other OVC-serving organizations at the district level and participate in relevant forums to share best practices and lessons learned. Program staff will benefit from the Psychosocial Support trainings carried by the DSS. The Centre will also establish referral systems to facilitate OVC access to other services. One such collaboration and referral will be to the Social and Community Development Office for needy OVC to have access to food baskets. The Centre will also collaborate with MOE's Circles of Support program to ensure that needy children benefit from the program.
In M&E, Mother's Union Centre will use its community level indicators for tracking program progress. Some of the tracking indicators include:
• Number of OVC registered and receiving support from the Centre • Number of OVC referred for other services • Number of OVC receiving PSS • Number of Community sensitization meetings
