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-T1118: UNHCR.
This activity has USG Team Botswana Internal Reference Number T1118. This activity links to the following: C0613 & P0101.
The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) program in Botswana continues to provide international protection and material assistance to 2,497 refugees and 616 asylum seekers (June, 2006). The Botswana Red Cross Society (BRCS) is the UNHCR Implementing Partner (IP) in charge of management of food distribution, community service activities, sanitation, medical referrals, home-based care, and community health in the Dukwi Refugee Camp. The camp currently hosts refugees of 17 nationalities, including individuals from Namibia (1,000), Angola (547), Somalia (500), and smaller groups from Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and Sudan. Other refugees reside outside the camp mainly on educational, security, and health grounds.
HIV prevention in the camp is critically important, but difficult. Given their difficult circumstances, many refugees are at high risk for HIV infection. However, many of the refugees come from countries where issues such as sex, condom use, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS, are rarely discussed. Diverse beliefs and practices make it difficult for refugees to easily embrace the HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and support messages that UNHCR and BRCS promote in the camp. Cultural and language diversity as well as different literacy levels have to be taken into account when deciding on the development of IEC materials and modes of information dissemination within the camp. To that end, various visual / oral methods must be employed, e.g., dramas, debates, video shows.
This project is a continuation of the 2006 EP Project. To ensure the lasting impact of the activities initiated in 2006, the same objectives and activities will be maintained. The objectives are: • To provide continuous activities to prevent and reduce the spread of HIV infection in the camp by supporting behavior change initiatives, particularly targeting youth. • To ensure improved welfare of refugees by improving access to and utilization of HIV/AIDS services and by empowering the community with ongoing basic health education. • To strengthen the quality of service provision and care for PLWHA and those affected by the epidemic. • To support the camp clinic and community capacity to support PMTCT and ARV therapy for refugees and nationals.
The activities under this proposal will benefit 3,113 refugee residents of Dukwi camp, as well as approximately 2,825 persons from the host Dukwi village and surrounding area who access primary health care through the camp clinic. UNHCR, in collaboration with BRCS, will continue coordinating the implementation process in consultation with other stakeholders, including the Dukwi Camp Clinic, Tutume District Health Team, and the Bishop of Francistown Office. In addition, a total of 100 peer educator volunteers and 10 home based care facilitators from the refugee community will continue assisting with the implementation of project activities in cooperation with other community groups such as Men, Sex and AIDS, Peace Messengers, Girls' Guides, Rangers, Sports groups, and schools.
In 2007, the USG will continue to support the salaries of an HIV/AIDS coordinator and community services officer who will be based at the Dukwi Refugee Camp to coordinate UNHCR's planned HIV/AIDS activities. The HIV/AIDS coordinator will work closely with BRCS to implement and coordinate HIV/AIDS care and treatment activities at the refugee camp.
