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.X.SS27: Self Help Fund
The Ambassador's Self-Help Fund (SHF) provides grants to assist small-scale community development
projects. The objective of the fund is to encourage self-reliance within local communities and to
demonstrate the U.S. Embassy's interest in the welfare and social development of Botswana.
Funding priority is given to projects that include a significant community contribution and/or involvement,
plan to generate income or employment opportunities, or address community social concerns. The purpose
of Self-Help assistance is to lead to ongoing, self-sustaining activities.
With funds from the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the Self-Help Fund Coordinator
will be able to increase the number of communities and people supported by the SHF. The US
Ambassador will be authorized to sign these SHF agreements and thereby, obligate these PEPFAR funds.
These $5,000 to $25,000 grants will assist HIV/AIDS home-based care centers as well as orphanages, pre-
schools, and day-care centers which support HIV/AIDS orphans and children with HIV/AIDS.
Potential projects include construction of classroom and kitchen facilities for schools and orphanages,
purchase and installation of water tanks, dripline irrigation systems, and shade netting to assist home-based
care organizations in the growing of fresh fruits and vegetables with which to feed HIV/AIDS patients.
It is estimated that with these funds we will reach an additional five to ten communities serving 5000 to
20,000 people.
