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.
Goals and Objectives:
CRS Botswana's response to the AIDS pandemic focuses mainly on Orphans and Vulnerable Children. The goal of the program is to improve the quality of life of OVC in Botswana. The major objective of the program is to provide services and technical support to OVC, their families, communities, and local organizations in order to build capacity to respond to the needs of OVC and their families.
Linkage to Partnership Framework goals:
CRS Botswana's OVC program has a linkage with the Partnership Framework goal 4 "To provide comprehensive and quality treatment, care and support services to people infected and affected by HIV". The program promotes and supports access by OVC to pre-school education while also providing psychosocial support to both OVC and their families.
Geographic coverage and target population:
The program is currently implemented at six sites: Kasane, Gumare, Maun, Sebina, Palapye and Francistown. Four (4) of the sites Maun, Palapye, Sebina and Francistown extends their cover to other locations in their areas. The program mainly targets OVC and their families.
Key contributions to health systems strengthening:
CRS provides training opportunities to the employees, clergies and religious sisters of the Catholic Church to enable them to contribute to the national response to HIV and AIDS. In addition, the program recruits and trains volunteers who provide home visits and support to families in need.
Implementing mechanism's cross-cutting programs and key issues:
Their activities are being funded through the pipeline, they do not require additional funding this year. Their programs have not changed from 2009.
Monitoring and Evaluation plans:CRS Botswana provides quarterly reports to USAID offices in Gaborone. The reports are guided by the OVC NGIs to make it easy to follow on whether or not CRS Botswana is achieving the targets it had set itself.
