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.C0809 Hope World Wide - OVC Support for Molepolole
During FY08, HOPE World Wide (HWW) Botswana would like to shift gear and work on creating a
community-based, community-run program. This will not be an automatic shift as work already started has
to be continued and where HWWB relinquishes work, other players be engaged to take over so that there is
sustainability.
The move is necessitated by inter alia, the introduction of the Circles of Support (COS) program by the
MOE, which is also PEPFAR-funded. COS will be carried out in schools and HWWB has been operating
from schools as well. During FY08, HWWB proposes to be a liaison for COS in the community, referring
children who have dropped out of school or are struggling to stay, to COS for re-entering.
HWWs program, which targets OVC infected and affected by HIV/AIDS aged 0-18, aims to reach 2,500
children. The three-pronged service provision targets the child as an individual, the family and community.
HWW will also train 150 caregivers.
HWW has also learnt that better quality work could be given with more community involvement and
presence. The organization will initiate kids clubs in the community as entry points to identify and meet
needs of orphans and other vulnerable children. Support groups for older OVC and caregivers will be run,
and these will be driven by skilled personnel such as social workers and psychologists. During these
activities, children will be imparted with skills to cope with grief and bereavement, together with survival
skills to enable them to become productive and self-sustaining adults. Apart from equipping older youth with
livelihood training and projects, HWW will also facilitate training on personal finance and how to use one's
talents to earn a living for the older orphans and caregivers.
Since it is evident that due to their difficult circumstances OVC tend to perform badly academically, HWW
will continue to organize tutorials during school holidays. Qualified professionals such as teachers, taken
from among HWWs pool of volunteers will be engaged in this regard.
CCCF will be initiated in the new sites and in these, the project will be run by the community, HWW being
the facilitator.
Referrals will be made to relevant authorities such as social workers, other NGOs, the Nutrition
Rehabilitation Center of the MOH, and the MOE's Circles of Support and HWW sister program, also active
in Botswana, Abstinence and Behavioral change for Youth (ABY).
During FY07, 100 caregivers were trained by HWW, in FY08 150 will be trained and sensitized on various
issues to enable them to better care for OVC. The training and sensitization will include among others,
issues around nutrition, hygiene, identifying and meeting needs of OVC without necessarily using money,
legal aspects such as the importance of children having birth certificates.
Succession planning, which includes memory boxes, memory books, and will writing, will be introduced to
communities especially support groups of people living with HIV/AIDS to ensure that parents/guardians
leave memories for their children when they are deceased.
