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.
09.T.LS06: ASCP-Laboratory Accreditation Support
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
Since FY2005 to strengthen the laboratory infrastructure in Botswana, work has been done to enhance and
implement a Laboratory Quality Assurance (LQA) program in the public health laboratories. The objective in
FY2007 and FY2008 was to enroll three public health laboratories for accreditation with the South African
National Accreditation System (SANAS) board. Assessment was conducted on the selected sites and a
quality manual developed, then the first audit conducted by the Botswana Bureau of Standards showed
many instances of non compliances with the quality standards. In FY2008, the non compliance issues were
addressed and a second audit was conducted by a consultant organization, which showed much
improvement in most of the laboratories. The Ministry of Health (MOH) laboratory services requested then
support from the USG-PEPFAR team to enroll all the remaining reference laboratories. FY2009 funds are
requested, therefore, to include the National Health Laboratory, the Botswana Harvard HIV Reference
Laboratory, and the Princess Marina Referral Hospital Laboratory for accreditation. A situational
assessment of the laboratory, with regard to laboratory quality will be conducted and a development of a
quality manual including on-site training and development of Standards Operation Procedures (SOP) and
quality manual will be done.
FY2009 funds will also serve to present the first group of laboratories for assessment by the South African
National Accreditation System for certification and accreditation, if all the requirements are met.
From COP08:
To strengthen the laboratory infrastructure in Botswana, in FY05 and FY06 work was done to enhance and
implement a laboratory QA program in the public health laboratories in Botswana. The objective was to
enroll three public health laboratories for accreditation in the South African National Accreditation System
(SANAS) board. Assessment was conducted to the selected sites and a quality manual developed, a first
Audit conducted by the Botswana Bureau of Standards showed lot of non compliances to the quality
standard. 2008 funds are requested to address the gaps and continue the preparation of the laboratory to
accreditation in 2008.
