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.P0217 Hope Worldwide - Abstinence and behavior change for youth
Focused in Molepolole village, Hope Worldwide-Botswana targets children and adolescents in schools, the
community and churches through a life skills based education approach. In-school youth range from primary
school to tertiary students. Using a life skills manual, field workers facilitate life skills sessions and after
school clubs in schools, and facilitate the same for community and church youth clubs. Peer educators who
receive extra training then mentor other students and youth. This mentoring is done through School Action
Teams for in-school and Community Action Teams for out-of-school-youth. The life skills materials and
training cover issues including self awareness, love and dating, teenage pregnancy, parenting, abstinence,
and media. In 2007, Hope Worldwide reached 5,500 youth through this program.
Hope Worldwide staff leverage existing school and community structures like parent teacher associations,
community forums, community based organizations, men sector groups and soccer clubs to promote
involvement in their activities, and vice versa. The youth HIV prevention program also collaborates with its
sister program that provides psychosocial support to OVCs. The prevention program staff refers children to
the OVC program, and offer parts of the prevention life skills curriculum to the OVC in that arm of Hope
Worldwide activities.
In 2008, Hope Worldwide will revise their manuals to strengthen the content related to key issues like
multiple concurrent sexual partnerships, cross generational sexual relationships, prevention with PLWHAs,
gender inequality, and alcohol risk. Field workers will continue to be trained in the above topics and in
facilitation skills and then will facilitate sessions on these topics to a wide range of students and other youth.
From the groups that they reach, they choose a few beneficiaries for an in-depth training as mentors to
other beneficiaries. This year, they will expand to an additional 26 schools in the villages around Molepolole,
and will return to 26 schools targeted in the previous 2 years, to offer those students additional services
based on the revised manual and to mentor them. Also new, Hope Worldwide will adapt to Botswana its
program for reaching parents, which they developed initially in South Africa, and will begin to hold parenting
workshops in the areas near the schools and churches that they target. Hope Worldwide hopes to reach
150 parents with three of these workshops in 2008.
The program also will employ additional staff, namely Finance Officer, Human Resources Officer and a
Monitoring and Evaluation Officer. This expansion will strengthen the operating systems and data usage of
the local office. These funds will carry the project for approximately 15 months, to allow time for a new
mechanism to replace the Track 1 awards.
