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.

The Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) has been working on QA/QC with the Quality unit at the Botswana Ministry of Health (MOH). The funds for this activity will: - provide training on QA/QC for chemistry testing, hematology testing, microbiology testing and HIV testing - strengthen the National Health Laboratory by preparing proficiency panels for all government, mission, mine and defense force laboratories in the country - improve distribution and monitoring of all PT testing and provide technical assistance for the quality assurance system - strengthen the NEQAS and the annual onsite visit assessment and evaluation
APHL, HHS/CDC, MOH and BOTUSA participated collaboratively to establish a five-year plan (2001-2006) to improve the QA system in the country. These funds will also be also used to evaluate the five-year plan and to identify and address any gaps and areas that need strengthening. Funds will also be used for technical assistance to the MOH for expansion of quality assurance of laboratory science via onsite consultations, teleconference participation, study tour opportunities at U.S. public health laboratories and participation in public health workshops outside Botswana.
