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.C.TB10: CDC - Infection Control Prisons
ONGOING ACTIVITY FOR WHICH NO ADDITIONAL FY2009 FUNDS ARE REQUESTED - DELAYED
IMPLEMENTATION
From COP08:
Infection control is an important aspect of prevention of TB in high HIV settings, such as correctional
facilities. None of the prisons in Botswana have isolation facilities for inmates with infectious TB. Recent
reports of XDR-TB from neighboring South Africa have raised the concern about possible cross-border
movement of patients with similar TB. Infection control policies are currently under development with FY07
funds.
2008 Plans
FY2008 funds are requested to procure 1 prefabricated building to be converted into an isolation ward for
inmates with TB. The building will be located at a site to be determined in consultation with the Division of
Prison Services. Prevention of TB infection in congregate settings is a major component of collaborative
TB/HIV activities. These activities therefore will support Botswana's Round 5 TB grant from the GFATM,
which among other goals, seeks to strengthen TB/HIV collaborative activities.

09.C.TB07: HHS/CDC/BOTUSA TB Section Support
ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY2008
This activity will provide care, preventive therapy and appropriate service referrals for 2,000 adult PLWHA
as part of an ongoing HHS/CDC/BOTUSA project. These individuals will be seen on at least a monthly
basis and they will receive regular checkups by registered nurses. Each will be provided 6 months of IPT;
eligible patients will be linked to services providing ARV treatment and CPT. Patients will be regularly
screened for adverse effects of medications and symptoms of opportunistic infections. Referrals to HIV
support groups, alcohol dependence counseling, psychiatric support, and PMTCT services will be made as
appropriate. Health education will be provided to all patients about living with HIV-infection, and about HIV
services available to them.
Referrals for ARV treatment and CPT will be provided to approximately 1,000 PLWHA. Quality care
through at least monthly check ups will be provided to reduce morbidity and mortality. Data from these
services will also be used to inform the ongoing National Comprehensive HIV Program.

Botswana. An additional 22 individuals representing almost 7.0 full time equivalents provide some portion of
their time to support PEPFAR activities and are funded by either the Divisions of HIV/AIDS Prevention or
Tuberculosis Elimination. The following positions are currently supported with Management and Staffing
funding:

2008 to cover the cost of information technology infrastructure services and support provided by ITSO. This
includes the funding to provide base level of connectivity for Gaborone and Francistown, connectivity to the
CDC global network, keeping the IT equipment refreshed and updated on a regular cycle, expanding the
ITSO Global Activities team in Atlanta and fully implementing the Regional Technology Services Executives
