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.P.OP11: Botswana Defence Force—OP Prevention
ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY2008
From COP08
Overall goal of this project is to reduce the incidence and impact of HIV/AIDS among military personnel and
their families through strengthening the BDFHIV/AIDS response. This will be achieved through the strategy
of promoting correct and consistent condom use and other life skills among the BDF personnel with
particular focus on those between ages of 18-24, and creating a supportive environment. These
approaches are in line with the BDF HIV/AIDS priorities activities of "troop level" HIV/AIDS prevention
education and behavior change communication, and of training of master trainers/focal points/peer
educators.
The project will enable soldiers within the BDF communities to obtain the necessary information, skills,
attitudes, and the necessary social support to view condoms as an effective HIV prevention method as well
as understand the importance of correct and consistent use. To this end, a camouflage patterned packaging
will be used, thus increasing acceptance and uptake of condom use and being promoted as following
military guidance. As part of the focused program to increase condom use a needs assessment will be
conducted prior to placement of the camouflage packaged condoms.
The technical team will endeavor to design communication campaigns around condom use and self-
efficacy. Additionally, the project will work on the perception that condoms reduce pleasure. Logistically, the
project will work on increasing condom availability such that an increased number of soldiers find it easy to
get condoms whenever they need them in order to promote correct and consistent condom use.
Program activities will focus on HIV/AIDS prevention education and behavior change communication (BCC),
including a media campaign, interpersonal communications activities, and community/interactive events.
These will be done in concert with three local partners (the YOHO, Magkabaneng, and Millennium
Production House).
Media based BCC campaigns
1.Two mobile bill boards displaying condom awareness messages will move between camps.
2.An existing radio drama series will incorporate themes specifically relevant to correct and consistent
condom use.
3.Existing military media publications will be used to promote awareness on the benefits of correct and
consistent condom use.
4.Other forms of media promoting correct and consistent condom use will include posters and electronic
board messages.
Interpersonal communication
1.Five refresher training workshop will be conducted for 180 peer educators.
2.Each peer educator will be responsible for conducting 10 one-on-one sessions per month, resulting in a
total of 21,600 sessions over the course of a year. Sessions will include a talk on condom use and its
benefits (and, as appropriate, condom demonstration exercises).
3.There will be 4 small group sessions per camp per month with a cumulative attendance of 4,800. Each
session will include a talk on condom use and its benefits (and, as appropriate, condom demonstration
exercises).
4.A Platoon Mentoring Program will train Sergeants in mentoring skills, which will allow them to initiate open
and supportive communication on safer sex practices with particular emphasis on correct and consistent
condom use and the associated benefits.
Community/interactive events
1.Five drama groups will be trained to develop their own dramas that encourage open discussion on correct
and consistent condom use and its benefits. Each drama group will perform at one small event per month
and one large event per quarter. Cumulatively attendance at these events will be 15,000.
2.The BDF hosts various sporting events annually across its entire barracks, including volleyball, boxing
and soccer. The 180 trained peer educators will conduct condom demonstrations at some of these events
as well as provide one-on-one interaction with soldiers, which will include conversations on correct and
The BDF has agreed to co-host a Military HIV/AIDS Prevention Conference for all PEPFAR countries and
other regional countries as funds permit. A The theme of the conference would be HIV/AIDS Prevention in
the military with an exchange of information on best practices, behaviors and behavior modifications etc. as
funded under AB activity P0214. This activity will fund a major discussion of Male Circumcision within the
military context. This will be tied to an effort of the Defense HIV AIDS Program, and include participation of
UNAIDS. Extensive discussion of MC in the military context will also spur the participant nations to examine
overall MC policies and practices. Approximately 100 persons will attend.
Another activity will provide materials and training for a healthy living course to be taught to all BDF
Personnel through the unit HIV/AIDS representative/counselors. The materials have already been
developed by the DOD HIV/AIDS Prevention Program. Funding for materials will cover the costs of
reproduction and distribution. The program will cover general health topics such as nutrition, exercise, etc.
as well as sexual and HIV related topics dealing with safe sexual practices including correct and consistent
use of condoms. The course will also include a module on living with HIV/AIDS including information of
safe sexual practices, including correct and consistent condom use, special nutritional needs, and other
health information. The BDF prefers that PwP messages be included in a general course to avoid stigma
that might come from having HIV positive personnel report to the clinic on a certain day or time for this
training. This activity will reach the vast majority of the 12,000 member BDF. 99% of the BDF in 2008 will
be male.
Course materials and training will be provided to the BDF wives club who will present the training to wives
at regular meetings, and conduct special sessions for domestic workers living and working on BDF bases,
reaching the indicated female populations.
