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.

CapacityPlus, a USAID-funded global project, strengthens Human Resources for Health (HRH) policy, planning, and management so that effective implementation of HRH initiatives can be sustained. To facilitate action, countries need evidence-based, costed, implementable HRH strategic plans, anchored by a policy framework that supports HRH plans with necessary legislation and regulation.
In Botswana, CapacityPlus will build on existing work in two areas. First, CapacityPlus will work with the Botswana Ministry of Health (MOH) HRH and planning departments to strengthen the availability and use of high quality health workforce information through a strengthened national human resources information system (HRIS). Second, CapacityPlus will also work with the Botswana Health Professions Council (BHPC) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Botswana (NMCB) to strengthen their registry systems and continuing professional development (CPD) programs. The project will work with the BHPC to take their continuing medical education (CME) framework to full implementation, and NMCB to implement a CPD program and track the credits in a strengthened registry system.
CapacityPlus will develop local capacity and sustainability for the management and use of health worker data through identification, training and mentorship of in-country, and institutional human resources. All hardware costs will be kept at a minimum and, wherever possible, open-source technologies will be preferred due to their low cost and global support community.
Evaluation of the programmatic areas will be based on the HRH data demand and information use for decision making and planning as evidenced, for example, by the use of routine or ad-hoc reports and the councils active use of the CPD/CME program.
