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.
Overall goals and specific objectives
The ILO is the UN agency with special responsibility for advancing decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. Because AIDS threatens the health and livelihoods of its constituents and compromises the achievement of its strategic objectives, the ILO has embarked in a comprehensive project aiming at:
Raising awareness of the economic and social impact of HIV/AIDS in the workplace;
Helping governments, employers and workers address HIV/AIDS through technical cooperation, training, and policy guidance on prevention, care and social protection; and
Fighting discrimination and stigma related to HIV status.
The ILO encourages a comprehensive approach to workplace policies and programmes, based on protecting the rights of HIV-infected and -affected workers, offering prevention and care services through existing workplace structures or the establishment of enterprise HIV/AIDS committees, and through mobilization of the organizations of employers and workers.
This ILO intervention involves the implementation of the ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS, which provides the internationally recognized guidelines for the development and implementation of HIV/AIDS workplace interventions. The adoption of an international labor standard on HIV/AIDS and the world of work in FY10 will further strengthen this standardized approach.
Target populations
Through initial funding from the United States Department of Labor and more recently PEPFAR, the ILO has been implementing a number of HIV/AIDS initiatives in Botswana since 2004. To date, 13 enterprises and 26 Trade Unions have been assisted to develop and implement HIV/AIDS polices and programs, effectively reaching well over 20,000 workers.
In FY10, the ILO will expand trade union activities initiated in FY09. The ILO will also assist 20 enterprises develop and implement workplace policies and programs. These companies will be selected from the most vulnerable sectors of the economy, namely construction, tourism, agriculture and transport. The majority of workers in these sectors are migrant workers, hence their increased vulnerability to HIV infection. By the nature of their work, these workers do not have easy access to HIV prevention, care, treatment and support services.
Geographic coverage
The 20 companies to be assisted in FY10 will be selected from the rural districts of Chobe, Ngamiland, Ghantsi and Kgalagadi. The project will also continue to give support to the enterprise and trade union HIV/AIDS initiatives started in FY08.
Making the most of the HIV/AIDS resources
The ILO works very closely with the Government of Botswana's Department of Labour and Social Security to leverage government funds to strengthen the social partner's response. As the coordinator of the labor sector's HIV/AIDS response, the department receives a substantial annual budget from the National AIDS Council. So the ILO assists the department with implantation capacity, including the transfer of skills and tools. In order to diversify its funding sources, the ILO and its constituents will explore possibilities of funding with the World Bank, ACHAP, and the Global Fund.
Health systems strengthening
The ILO will contribute to health systems strengthening through training of shop stewards, focal persons, human resource managers in peer education, behaviour change communication and HIV/AIDS project planning, monitoring and evaluation.
Quality Assurance and Sustainability
To quality and sustainable interventions the DOL/ILO project will do the following:
· The DOL/ILO program will continually work with the Ministry of Labor to transfer more of the program management responsibilities.
· To ensure cost-effectiveness the project will build public-private partnership with the partner enterprises. Memorandum of cooperation will be signed with partner enterprises clearly stating the role and responsibilities of the partners.
· Work with the business coalition and the Trade Unions to enhance their capacity to find additional funding sources.
· ILO will ensure the transfer of technical skills and tools to the social partners for them to be better equipped to implement on their own.
Monitoring and Evaluation
Project performance will be monitored as data will be captured on a quarterly basis. Project officers will conduct field visits for quality assurance purposes. Baseline data collected will be used not only to inform the behaviour change strategies to be developed but also with the objective of assessing the impact of the interventions.
10.P.AB24: ILO - Workplace Program - 100,000.00
A healthy workforce is the mainstay of any sustainable economy. The ILO with its national partners uses the workplace as an entry point to reach workers with a continuum of HIV/AIDS services. With COP 2009 funds, the ILO is carrying out a study on the vulnerability of migrant workers in the construction, tourism, agriculture and transport sectors. Twenty enterprises will be selected to participate in the project in the districts of Chobe, Ngamiland, Gansti and Kgalagadi. Under COP 2010, the ILO will use the ILO/FHI BCC Toolkit for the Workplace as well as the results of the formative assessment conducted to develop sector-specific targeted strategies with members of the target populations to reach both young and adult workers with gender-specific tailored interventions. Key risk behaviors targeted: · Multiple concurrent partnerships · Intergenerational sex Twenty Enterprise HIV/AIDS focal-points will be trained to implement the behavior change strategies as well as train peer educators in a ratio of about 1 peer educator/30 workers. The ILO intervention involves the implementation of the ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the "World of Work" which provides the internationally recognized guidelines for the development and implementation of HIV/AIDS workplace interventions. The potential adoption of an international labor standard on HIV/AIDS and the "World of Work " in 2010 will further strengthen this standardized approach. The ILO office will work closely with the peer educators and focal persons in the 20 partner enterprises to support the development and implementation of the policies and behaviour change programmes. The ILO country team will receive technical backstopping from the ILO Program on HIV/AIDS at Headquarters and the "World of Work office as well as the ILO Sub-Regional Office. The ILO has also developed an enterprise audit check list to be used by partner enterprises to improve the quality of their interventions.

Union representatives' capacity will be further strengthened through trainings in policy development and integration of HIV issues within collective bargaining agreements (legally binding agreements between the union and employer). Workers' organizations who have benefited from capacity building from the project during the past five years will be expected to use their newly developed expertise at the grassroots level and play a key role in providing assistance for the development of HIV/AIDS workplace policies and in training peer educators. Training of trainers will be conducted in the areas of HIV/AIDS workplace planning, monitoring and evaluation. From the results of the formative assessment, capacity building activities will be organized to build entrepreneurship skills among vulnerable populations.
