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.OP15: ILO/US DOL Trade Union HIV/AIDS Project
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
This project will build on the already established foundation of trained resource persons, tools and good
practices with the aim of ensuring a coordinated, comprehensive and sustainable national workplace
program in accordance with the PEPFAR/Botswana strategy. The following lines of action are proposed by
the ILO for FY2009:
-Reinforce action with Botswana Federation of Trade Unions (BFTU) and ensure full implementation of its
strategic plan in line with national and PEPFAR indicators.
-Provide technical assistance to the Business Coalition in order to build its capacity to develop workplace
policy and programs in line with the ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the world of work and related
national policy.
-Promote a dialogue between the BFTU and the Business Coalition with the aim of developing joint action at
the level of the workplace.
-Based on the above, expand activities in the tourism sector as well as initiate action in other sectors, such
as transport and agriculture, through public-private partnerships bringing the strengths of enterprises and
community-based services together for comprehensive prevention, treatment and care support services for
the benefit of workers.
-Engage the newly formed federation of Public Services Unions with the aim of developing policy and
programs on HIV/AIDS. In this context, special attention will be given to health workers utilizing the
ILO/WHO guidelines on heath services and HIV/AIDS as well as the ILO/WHO guidelines.
From COP08:
In support of the national response, the ILO has taken initial steps to assist the tripartite constituents in
Botswana to lay the groundwork for a comprehensive workplace response. In 2004, the ILO assisted the
Ministry of Labor and Home Affairs (MLHA) to develop a national policy on HIV/AIDS and Employment;
adhering to the principles and guidelines laid out in the ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS in the World of
Work. A selected number of enterprises were also assisted to develop and implement workplace policies
and programs. Activities at enterprise level included among others the training of Peer Educators and
development of targeted behavior change communication materials.
Building on the anticipated achievements of the recently initiated FYO7 PEPFAR funded initiative targeting
10 Trade Unions, the FYO8 project will expand to 10 more Trade Unions. Currently there are 51 registered
Trade Unions, and with the advent of the new labor laws allowing for the unionization of public officers, the
number is expected to rise. Although Unions represent workers from different sectors, they are organized
under an umbrella body - the Botswana Federation of Trade Unions. Their total membership is estimated up
to 65,000.
For this funding period, the project aims at further building capacity among unions, to set up structures that
will enable members to exchange information on HIV and AIDS; encourage members to go for counseling
and other HIV-related services; and encourage correct and consistent condom use, partner reduction, and
other risk reduction behaviors. The proposed FY08 project activities are as follows:
ILO will conduct workshops to develop broad scale commitment from sectoral level union leaders
(approximately 6 leaders from each of the 10 unions) on the key principles of the ILO Code of practice and
the national policy on HIV/AIDS and Employment. ILO will have facilitated an umbrella Trade Union policy
over the next 12 months, and in this funding period, they will continue to assist dissemination of that
umbrella policy and work with 10 unions to develop their own HIV/AIDS strategic plans. Part of this process
involves encouraging the Unions to develop their own budget contributions to the seed money provided by
ILO for their HIV/AIDS initiatives. In addition Unions will be encouraged to go into joint-partnerships with
employers. Co-funding will not only help cushion the financial costs of both parties but be a demonstration
of leadership commitment.
In order to reach many of its members with basic peer-led HIV/AIDS education and outreach, the 10
Botswana Trade Unions and ILO will select and train approximately 8-12 focal persons per union to be peer
educators, using the GOB Peer Education curriculum for workplace settings. To support these peer
educators, ILO will place 4 project officers in the mother trade union body, Botswana Federation of Trade
Union. They will assist with support, supervision, and monitoring of activities.
To complement the peer education program, ILO will also introduce "SOLVE" to this cadre of peer
educators. SOLVE is new initiative developed by ILO and aimed at addressing psychosocial problems at
work all under one comprehensive workplace wellness program. As an acronym SOLVE stands for Stress,
Tobacco, Alcohol, HIV/AIDS and Violence. Currently ILO is updating SOLVE to address other interrelated
psychosocial problems such as sleep deprivation, lack of regular exercise, lack of good nutrition, cyber
addiction etc. The SOLVE trainings will expand the knowledge of the peer educators to address a wider
range of important health issues and provide additional skills to implementing a range of workplace-based
activities, such as health fairs and support groups. ILO anticipates that the 120 educators will each reach
approximately 200 people, for a total of approximately 20,000 people who will ultimately benefit.
ILO also will conduct a formative assessment to establish the key issues and interests within the different
Union membership as related to HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment, and support programs. The
assessment will be a simple survey done with small groups and other key informant interviews, something
to help develop IEC materials. Based on the findings of the assessment, ILO and the Trade Unions will
develop information, education, and communication materials and messages to use through various
channels in the Union infrastructure (posters, pamphlets, monthly campaign themes, etc. for use by peer
educators and others).
