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.
Yoho Implementing Narrative
The main objectives for the project are to:
a. To increase information and motivation for youth in and out of school to adopt key prevention behaviors,
b. To improve skills, self efficacy for youth in and out of school to adopt key prevention behaviors,
c. To strengthen institutional capacity for YOHO headquarters, Regional office and Seven affiliate youth groups,
d. Improve documentation and dissemination of lessons learnt from project interventions at all levels.
The Seboza Youth for Zero Transmission Lifestyles program aims to promote zero transmission lifestyles among youth of ages 10 29 in Botswana. This involves encouraging younger youth (10-18 year olds), those who are not yet sexually active, to abstain from sexual activities and to delay sexual debut. The program encourages older youth (19-29 year olds), those that are sexually active, to practice secondary abstinence from sex, to reduce their sexual partners and to consistently and correctly use condoms whenever they have sex. Cross cutting co-factors like alcohol, VCT, Cross generational sex and gender equity are mainstreamed into the strategies and approaches used by the program. The program also targets other drivers of the HIV and AIDS epidemic that are relevant to its target population like concurrent multiple sexual partnerships and safe blood transfusion among others.
These messages are presented through an interactive and entertaining strategy, the triple E approach Entertainment, Education and Empowerment - that blends performing arts, life skills education, service provision and organizational development to contribute to the national goal of an HIV free generation by 2016.The program is implemented in seven sites: Francistown where YOHO has a regional office and in Lobatse, Hukuntsi, Ghanzi, Kasane, Letlhakane, and Serowe where youth serving organizations affiliated to YOHO operate. The program extends to five satellite villages surrounding each of the major centres mentioned above. During COP09 the program also extended to satellites groups of Mahalapye, Jwaneng & Gaborone supported by other partners, UNICEF, ACHAP and the Botswana Government.
YOHO plans a no cost extension for 3 months and will complete documentation on best practice during this time
