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.

ACTIVITY CONTINUING UNDER PERFORMANCE PASS
ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY2008
From COP08:
This activity links with all activities under PMTCT. It covers the salaries and travel for the technical
HHS/CDC/BOTUSA staff in-country supporting PMTCT. Eight HHS/CDC/BOTUSA staff work in the PMTCT
section. Six of them are based in Francistown where they carry out operational research, while two are at
the BOTUSA headquarters in Gaborone. An example of the operational research is the successful pilot of
EID of HIV in infants using DBS and DNA PCR. The result of the pilot has led to the roll out of EID by the
MOH countrywide.
In 2008, USG funds will be used to hire additional dedicated staff (2 nurses) to visit each district, provide
detailed feedback on ART initiation rates in pregnant women and infants, organize troubleshooting
meetings, and provide ongoing feedback to every district. In addition, a medical officer will be hired to
provide ongoing technical support to the PMTCT program in the MOH and other related programs (SRH,
Family Planning Unit, and the Food & Nutrition Unit) on PMTCT related issues.
Support for printing technical materials and other costs related to working with the GOB are included. Costs
related to workshops and participation by the technical staff in domestic, regional, and occasional
international meetings are supported.
The PMTCT team in Francistown will conduct a demonstration project on Prevention with Positives (PwP),
by supporting the promotion of family planning and unintended pregnancy prevention among HIV positive
women and their partners. Activities will include community mobilization through local dramas and related
discussion forums, in addition to supporting implementation of the existing PMTCT protocols by health care
workers within clinical settings, which include active promotion of family planning to clients.

Table 3.3.05:
09.P.MC90: Technical Expertise and Support for Male Circumcision
This activity links with all activities under Male Circumcision (MC). Botswana recently adopted MC as added
strategy for the prevention of HIV infection. It is intended to provide technical support to the Government of
Botswana's (GOB) effort in scaling up MC and intends to do the following: (1) increase the number of health
providers trained to perform safe MC; (2) increase the knowledge of health providers about risks and
benefits of MC; (3) augment equipment and supplies; (4) establish a referral system; (5) set standards and
quality assurance for MC; and (6) establish a monitoring and evaluation process to monitor MC demand and
use, as well as rates of adverse events. Since this is a new activity, it is currently being coordinated by the
Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) Section Advisor as an additional activity over and
above PMTCT activities. Given the importance of MC as a new prevention strategy in Botswana, it is
necessary that a dedicated LES be recruited to coordinate MC activities.
In F2009, United States Government (USG) funds will be used to hire a dedicated LES to coordinate all MC
activities and to provide ongoing technical support to the GOB Ministry of Health (MOH) and the partners
involved in implementation of MC.
Additionally, the costs related to training, workshops, and participation by the technical staff in domestic,
regional and international meetings, the printing of training materials, and support for the MOH on MC will
be covered by the funds for this activity.

Table 3.3.18:
09.X.MS01: HHS.CDC ITSO Charges
This comes under the category of the cost of doing business and is to support cost for the CDC Information
Technology Services Office (ITSO). In FY2008, the ITSO Office instituted a fee of $3,250 per work station
and laptop to support information technology infrastructure services. In the COP08, this fee was included in
the overall CDC HVMS budget request, but per COP09 guidance, is being included as a separate activity
narrative. The formula for support costs has changed from a flat fee of $3,250 per work station to a more
accurately defined actual cost sharing within the South African Region and includes support for base level
connectivity to the CDC Global Network, IT field equipment maintenance and replacement on a pre-
established cycle, expanding the ITSO Global Activities team in Atlanta and fully implementing the Regional
Technology Services Executives in the field.
