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-C0603: Bakgatla Bolokang Matshelo.
This activity has USG Team Botswana Internal Reference Number C0603. This activity links to the following: C0602 & C0604 & C0605 & C0606 & C0607 & C0608 & C0613 & C0614 & C0618 & C0619 & C0802 & X1406.
Bakgatla Bolokang Matshelo (BBM) was initiated in 1998 as a grass roots initiative by local religious groups. The organization works to provide CHBC services through volunteers who visit patients at home and in hospitals to provide clinical, psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual support to patients and their families. With EP funding BBM's objective is to expand palliative care services at the centre and in homes of PLWHA. In FY07, the target is to reach 800 PLWHA with palliative care services. The services provided for PLWHA include: • Pain relief, through provision of drugs like analgesics and through physical methods to reduce pain resulting from advanced HIV/AIDS infection. • Counseling people on antiretroviral (ARV) drug adherence on how to cope with side effects, and providing support for very ill patients in ensuring adherence to treatment. • Nutritional support, through provision of patients information on nutrition and training for families on means to ensure access to food. The center will provide daily meals to patients coming to the center from another funding source. • Psychosocial services through counseling provided by a professional counselor and trained volunteers during home based care services and at the centre.
BBM coordinates support groups for PLWHA. Through the services of a trained counselor, clients are encouraged to create supportive peer relationships that will enable them to provide each other with ongoing psychosocial support. The program target is that 50 patients will enroll and participate in the support groups, and that 4 groups with about 15 people in each will be formed. Participation in the support groups will be voluntary, and group activities will be facilitated by the counselor. Marketing of the support groups is done through the volunteers and center staff as they deliver various services to their clients. Considerations of factors such as gender and age-group will be taken into account as new members join. The groups are encouraged to meet at least once monthly, and will be supported by the professional counselor whenever needed. BBM will refer clients to other services such as medical services. A detailed M&E plan will be developed including a detailed results framework that shows key anticipated results and indicators, a detailed implementation plan including key targets to be achieved during the project period. Objectives:
•To increase the number of volunteers providing services at the centre. •To increase the number of caregivers providing home-based care. •To enhance the development of a support system for clients of BBM through establishing four PLWHA support groups that will include professional counseling services. •To increase the number of individual provided with palliative care by 800
