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.AB17: USAID PSC Prevention Officer
This activity covers salary of an offshore hire Prevention Advisor, technical assistance, and travel to provide
support for the activities of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), including work with
the Government of Botswana. Funding also covers participation by staff in domestic and international

AIDS prevention programming, to complement skills of the rest of the USG Botswana Prevention Team.

09.X.MS10: USAID - Regional and RHAP Support
This activity covers travel and related costs for USAID/Regional Southern Africa staff from the contracting,
financial management, program and executive offices, and for USAID Regional HIV/AIDS Program (RHAP)
technical staff to provide direct support to USAID staff in Gaborone, Botswana on a regularly scheduled
basis. This support is critically important with the awarding of two new cooperative agreements and an IQC
task order by the Regional Office of Acquisition and Assistance (OAA) that are managed directly by the
Botswana USAID staff with funding coming through the Regional Financial Management Office (RFMO). In
addition, a third cooperative agreement for Civil Society Capacity Building is under design and will be
awarded in FY2009.
Table 3.3.19:
This funding has been programmed to support activities related to the development of the Botswana
PEPFAR Partnership Framework.
09.X.MS06: USAID - Management and Support
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
FY2008 funding covered three offshore hire positions: the PEPFAR Coordinator, hired through a
USAID/Washington mechanism, and two Personal Services Contractors (PSC), the Senior HIV/AIDS
Program Manager and an HIV/AIDS Program Specialist at the GS-13 level. Funding also supported travel
by USAID/Regional HIV/AIDS Program (RHAP) to provide technical and administrative support in
developing new procurements and training new Locally Employed Staff (LES) funded through State.
The incumbent PEPFAR Coordinator will depart post at the end of September 2008, and a replacement is
being sought. The replacement will be an international hire PSC using the standard OGAC Coordinator
position description. USAID/RHAP has obtained a decision memorandum from the Director of the Office of
Acquisitions and Assistance (USAID/Washington) that although the PSC will be funded by USAID/RHAP,
the Coordinator will report to the Deputy Chief of Mission and serve in an interagency capacity on the
Botswana PEPFAR team.
FY2009 funding is requested to continue funding the Coordinator position.
The USAID Senior HIV/AIDS Program Manager is at post and managing and increasingly robust program
totaling multi million. FY2009 funding is requested to maintain that position.
Recruitment has begun for the HIV/AIDS Program Specialist PSC. The position is expected to be filled in
first quarter FY2009. FY2009 funding is requested to continue this position for another year. The HIV/AIDS
Program Specialist will serve as a Local Capacity Development Advisor and will also be the second
cognizant technical officer (CTO) on the USAID PEPFAR team.
The three USAID positions (the Coordinator position is considered "interagency") will be complemented by a
new PSC Prevention Advisor, to be split-funded under HVAB and HVOP, and four LES positions. The LES
positions are funded through State - two in HKID and two in HVMS -- but function as part of the USAID
team. One position - the Secretary/Program Assistant - is in the process of being filled. The others are still
under recruitment.
From COP08:
USAID provides salaries, benefits and travel funds to two senior level PEPFAR managers. The PEPFAR
Coordinator, who is contracted through a USAID/W mechanism, reports to the Deputy Chief of Mission and
works closely on a day-to-day basis with State/CDC/USAID/DOD/Peace Corps and the other non-present
Inter-agency PEPFAR members.
The USAID Senior HIV/AIDS Program Manager, a USPSC who is contracted through and supervised by the
USAID/Southern Africa Mission in Pretoria, links directly with the Regional HIV/AIDS Program (RHAP) and
is posted in Gaborone. She provides institutional and program expertise and support to all PEPFAR staff
who work with USAID-funded implementing partners and facilitates communications between USAID
partners, the Botswana PEPFAR team, and the Government of Botswana and the US. She will oversee the
development of a fast growing USAID portfolio that will rise from over $12 million in FY 2007 to $23 million
in FY 2008, which will include the design and launch of new programs and mechanisms to support and
strengthen local civil society organizations and expand community-based programs.
Funds are also budgeted to for RHAP staff to travel to Botswana to provide technical and administrative
support in developing new procurements and training new local staff, including the Contracting Specialist
and Program Assistant who will be recruited and hired locally by State Department.
Given the rapid expansion in the budget and number of USAID awards that will be designed and
implemented in Botswana in the coming year, an additional US or TCN PSC position is proposed at the GS-
13 level to serve as the USAID HIV/AIDS Program Specialist. This PSC will be the second certified
cognizant technical officer (CTO) on the PEPFAR team and will work hand-in-hand with the Senior USPSC
(the only other CTO) to provide adequate monitoring and oversight for the USAID agreements operating in
country.
