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.C0890-Post Technical expertise and support USAID (OVC)
This activity covers salary of the OVC Coordinator, technical assistance, and travel to provide support for
the activities of the PEPFAR, including work with the Government of Botswana. Funding also covers
participation by staff in domestic and international conferences related to their work.
08.X1504-Local: USAID - Management & Support
USAID provides salaries, benefits and travel funds to two senior level PEPFAR managers. The PEPFAR
Coordinator, who is contracted through a USAID/W mechanism, reports to the Deputy Chief of Mission and
works closely on a day-to-day basis with State/CDC/USAID/DOD/Peace Corps and the other non-present
Inter-agency PEPFAR members.
The USAID Senior HIV/AIDS Program Manager, a USPSC who is contracted through and supervised by the
USAID/Southern Africa Mission in Pretoria, links directly with the Regional HIV/AIDS Program (RHAP) and
is posted in Gaborone. She provides institutional and program expertise and support to all PEPFAR staff
who work with USAID-funded implementing partners and facilitates communications between USAID
partners, the Botswana PEPFAR team, and the Government of Botswana and the US. She will oversee the
development of a fast growing USAID portfolio that will rise from over $12 million in FY 2007 to $23 million
in FY 2008, which will include the design and launch of new programs and mechanisms to support and
strengthen local civil society organizations and expand community-based programs.
Funds are also budgeted to for RHAP staff to travel to Botswana to provide technical and administrative
support in developing new procurements and training new local staff, including the Contracting Specialist
and Program Assistant who will be recruited and hired locally by State Department.
Given the rapid expansion in the budget and number of USAID awards that will be designed and
implemented in Botswana in the coming year, an additional US or TCN PSC position is proposed at the GS-
13 level to serve as the USAID HIV/AIDS Program Specialist. This PSC will be the second certified
cognizant technical officer (CTO) on the PEPFAR team and will work hand-in-hand with the Senior USPSC
(the only other CTO) to provide adequate monitoring and oversight for the USAID agreements operating in
country.
