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.

There are differences in TB and HIV prevalence and population dynamics between the Western and Southern areas of Botswana which offer a unique opportunity for the study and comparison of the transmission dynamics of TB and MDR TB in stable/aggregated and dynamic/open populations and determine the effect of HIV on these transmission dynamics. Molecular epidemiology provides unique opportunities to understand crucial aspects of the transmission dynamics of TB in the community that could lead to successful public health interventions.
This Molecular Epidemiology Program will be a collaborative project between the Government of Botswana, the Botswana-University of Pennsylvania Partnership and CDC. We will combine classical epidemiologic methods and molecular epidemiology to determine the transmission dynamics of TB in closed/clustered (Western region) and open/dynamic (Southern region) populations in Botswana and the effect of HIV infection and drug-resistance on TB transmission in these settings. Mathematical models of TB epidemics using real-world data generated will be developed to measure the effectiveness of different public health interventions to interfere with TB transmission and to guide the Ministry of Health to direct infection control measures towards hotspots of TB transmission in the country.
The Genotyping Lab is a CDC owned lab that will support CDC studies and protocol and also serve as a training facility for Ministry of Health (MOH) Laboratory staff. The objective is to assist MOH to find alternative, cheaper and more affordable techniques for monitoring patients on ARVs. The fund will be used to procure service and maintenance contracts for equipment and for procurement of reagents and consumbles.
This is a CDC centrally funded cooperative agreement with Emory University to provide south-to-south technical assistance on couples HIV testing and counseling (CHTC). The Rwanda Zambia HIV Research group has been providing CHTC since 1986 and has also succesfully scaled up these services in both Rwanda and Zambia. Through this coag, they are able to share best practices and lessons learned with other countries seeking to initiate and/or scale-up CHTC programs in antenatal, HIV care and treatment, TB and other settings.
The Government of Botswana is in the process of finalizing the National Couple HIV counseling & testing strategy and an implementation plan to guide the scale up of CHCT serivces in country. Through the Center of Excellence mechanism, Botswana will receive direct technical assistance in couple testin from Emory and support to organize and roll out Couple HIV counseling in a diverse variety of setting in the country. The HTC TWG at CDC HQ will work with the country team to develop specific set of TA deliveries that Emory would be working on.
