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.
In order to gain a better understanding of behaviors of high-risk men in Botswana and increase their access to high quality HIV prevention, care and treatment services, a TBD partner will conduct a needs assessment as well as a behavioral survey, in addition to a review of existing programs targeting males, which will lead to the development of tailored interventions for this vulnerable population. These interventions will be implemented in future years following the information gathered in FY10.
The needs assessment will be conducted in six urban areas of Botswana: Gaborone, Francistown, Lobatse, Mahalapye, Palapye and Maun. The needs assessment will include both quantitative and qualitative methods such as surveys, interviews and focus groups. These methods will be used to determine: (a) venues where high-risk men commonly gather; (b) communication techniques used by high-risk men, such as Internet/chat rooms or mobile phone text messaging; (c) issues of stigma and discrimination; (d) knowledge and understanding among high-risk men on HIV and STI prevention and transmission; (e) high-risk males' access to HIV prevention, care and treatment services; and (f) the extent of partner involvement [i.e., how many partners were reached and accessed services]. The needs assessment will also identify existing resources and gaps and will shed light on the feasibility and actions required to develop appropriate HIV prevention interventions for the high-risk male population. Community consultations with key informants, local NGOs, service providers and select community members will be undertaken for the purpose of developing locally- and culturally-appropriate high-risk male prevention intervention activities.
The behavioral survey will be conducted to better understand risk behaviors among identified high-risk men. The survey will shed light on issues of intercourse, alcohol use, illicit drug abuse, sex work, and/or transactional sex. Upon the completion of the aforementioned needs assessment and behavioral survey, the TBD partner will develop tailored prevention activities that ensure high-risk men and their partners are able to access the needed identified services.

In order to gain a better understanding of behaviors of high-risk men in Botswana and increase their access to high quality HIV prevention, care and treatment services, a TBD partner will conduct a needs assessment as well as a behavioral survey, in addition to a review of existing programs targeting males, which will lead to the development of tailored interventions for this vulnerable population. These interventions will be implemented in future years following the information gathered in FY10. During FY10, a TBD partner will conduct a needs assessment in six urban areas of Botswana: Gaborone, Francistown, Lobatse, Mahalapye, Palapye and Maun. The needs assessment will include both quantitative and qualitative methods such as surveys, interviews and focus groups. These methods will be used to determine: (a) venues where high-risk men commonly gather; (b) communication techniques used by high-risk men, such as Internet/chat rooms or mobile phone text messaging; (c) issues of stigma and discrimination; (d) knowledge and understanding among high-risk men on HIV and STI prevention and transmission; (e) high-risk males' access to HIV prevention, care and treatment services; and (f) the extent of partner involvement [i.e., how many partners were reached and accessed services].

Community consultations with key informants, local NGOs, service providers and select community members will be undertaken for the purpose of developing locally- and culturally-appropriate high-risk male prevention intervention activities. In addition, a behavioral survey will be conducted to better understand risk behaviors among identified high-risk men. The survey will shed light on issues of intercourse, alcohol use, illicit drug abuse, sex work, and/or transactional sex. Upon the completion of the aforementioned needs assessment and behavioral survey, the TBD partner will develop tailored prevention activities that ensure high-risk men and their partners are able to access the needed identified services. While target number of high-risk men reached with individual and/or small group interventions will be 500 persons, Year 1 of the project will not report on any indicators as the only activities are the needs assessment and the behavioral survey.
