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.
Years of mechanism: 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
The Public Affairs Section will use PEPFAR funds allotted to it under the COP for 1) public and press outreach activities and 2) small grants with a particular focus on or opportunity for public outreach or promotion of USG health-related activities.
Public and press outreach activities will focus on messaging to convey to the Batswana public what USG support has accomplished, what activities we are currently engaged in, and what areas we expect to focus on in the future. These public outreach activities will include material, program, and logistical support surrounding thematic events like World AIDS Day, 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence, TB Day, and others. Public outreach activities will also include elements of a directed media campaign to push the broad message of the USG health activities trajectory, specifically to mitigate any potential negative narrative of funding cuts.
Small grant activities will include support for, among others, a training project focused on gender-based violence, a girls sports program focused on HIV awareness, and a youth empowerment project aimed vulnerable youth with support from the State Department (ECA) Arts Envoy program.
