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.

08.T1111-Central: Harvard Botswana AIDS Initiative Partnership
The BHP-PEPFAR ART Training and Site Support program is aimed at developing sustainable training
capacity in clinical care and treatment of HIV/AIDS patients, expanding CD4 and Viral load laboratory
testing to decentralized laboratories, and strengthening the Botswana MOHs M&E capacity to monitor the
effectiveness of the National ART program (MASA).
Achievements during FY07
Clinical master trainer results (CMT): Number of health personnel trained for ART services - 492, number
trained in palliative care - 635, facilities supported and mentored - 18 hospitals and 39 satellite clinics.
Laboratory Master Trainer (LMT) results: Number of lab technicians trained - 22; facilities supported and
mentored -15; decentralized laboratories supported ran 72,041 samples for CD4 testing, and 7,577 for VL
testing
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) results: Sites reached - 32; data entry clerks (DEC) trained - 59; data
warehouse developed; integration of MASA and DHIS ongoing and; data security and confidentiality
system to encrypt and decrypt completed.
Plans for FY2008:
A) CMT will continue to:
1) task shifting: training of nurse dispensers and nurse pre scribers; 2) train Health Care Providers on QAI
and implementation of QA activities at ART site level and QAI training for district/site leadership cadres; 3)
provide CME at district level, telephone site support; 4) continue training material development, SOP's,
guidelines, memo's and checklists tools for care and treatment sites.
B) LMT will continue to:
1) support the established CD4, VL decentralized and expand training to include hematology, chemistry and
microbiology support; 2) in collaboration with MOH and HHS/CDC/BOTUSA formalize the training manuals
on CD4, VL, hematology, chemistry and microbiology (including TB); 3) train on LIS issues at decentralized
labs/sites and train on lab data management, reagent logistics and quality assurance.
C) The M&E Unit within Masa will continue to:
1) refine and expand indicators and management tools; 2) replace PIMS (MASA) and roll out new system to
all PIMS locations; 3) integrate functions of (e.g. PMTCT) and integrate with all other national systems (e.g.
DHIS); 4) train end users on the new systems; 5) establish support desk and using DEC to perform vital
role; 6) conduct a targeted patient evaluation study on medication adherence.
