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-C0608: Tsholofelo Trust.
This activity has USG Team Botswana Internal Reference Number C0608. This activity links to the following: C0602 & C0603 & C0604 & C0605 & C0606 & C0607 & C0613 & C0614 & C0618 & C0802 & P0214 & X1406.
With EP funding, Tsholofelo Trust is providing comprehensive, quality health care and support services to PLWHA in Letlhakeng village in the southern part of Botswana using trained volunteers. The volunteers provide counseling support to HBC patients and their relatives. The program also includes a small component of HIV prevention focused on youth. The youth involved with the program will assist with psychosocial palliative care at the community level.
In FY07, Tsholofelo Trust will continue counselor training HBC volunteers and build upon any existing initiatives spearheaded by the District Council Aids Coordinator. The volunteers will address the holistic needs of the clients, providing the minimum package of palliative care. The aim of the program is to recruit male and female volunteers of all ages, from youth to the elderly and to train and deploy 10 HBC community counselors in the first year. The social worker coordinates with the community counselors, and collaborates with relevant organizations such as the District Council and the Keletso Center in neighboring Molepolole.
The HBC community counselors provide holistic care to patients and work with the social worker to refer them to other sectors of the community. The social worker is responsible for supervising the counselors and monitoring their performance. The work of the social worker is done in close cooperation with the District Health Team and government social workers. A critical role for both the counselors and volunteer peer educators, with the help of Tshololelo staff, is to link those in need with the appropriate government services, and make them aware of such services as ARV treatment, food baskets for palliative care patients, and others. Objectives: •To train volunteers in palliative care and HIV prevention through established youth groups and community outreach. •To build capacity of existing PLWHA support groups in order for members to participate in home-based care activities. •To establish another PLWHA support group to increase coverage. •To educate young people about HIV/AIDS, and to encourage behavior change and reduce stigma and discrimination.
This organization will be monitored by the Prime Partner to ensure provision of quality services to PLWHA. The organization will also participate in tracking data that is relevant in responding to the needs of MOH's PCU. In addition, it will monitor its activities using its own organizational palliative care indicators. The Prime Partner will assist the organization to develop its detailed implementation plan and the monitoring performance plan.
