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
This is a continuation of a three year project to provide technical support to the National AIDS Coordinating Agency (NACA) to strengthen its capacity to develop the HIV/AIDS National Campaign. The goal of this project is to develop and implement strategic and multi faceted HIV prevention communication campaigns in order to increase the adoption of safer sexual behaviors and uptake of HIV prevention services. Through this project PSI Botswana aims to achieve the following objectives:
1. Increase opportunity, ability and motivation of the target population to reduce high-risk sexual behavior
2. Strengthen capacity of Government of Botswana (GOB) to design, plan, coordinate, implement and evaluate HIV communication campaigns
3. Develop a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation plan
4. Develop a sustainability plan that will ensure GOBs ability to design, plan, coordinate, implement and evaluate future HIV communication campaigns independently.
PSI Botswana will build the capacity of NACA and Ministry of Health (MOH) to develop and implement effective communication campaigns and structures through a participatory approach. This work will be carried out across priority health districts to be agreed with MOH and NACA which could potentially include Gaborone, Francistown, Mahalapye, Lobatse, Kanye, Kweneng and Serowe.
Population Services International (PSI) Botswana will work with the District Multi-Sectoral AIDS Committees to engage community level civil society organizations (CSO) in the implementation of campaign activities.
PSI Botswana will also conduct quantitative formative assessments for the identified theme areas.
To build program efficiencies and achieve cost effectiveness, PSI Botswana will ensure campaigns use an integrated messaging approach.
The goal of this project is to provide technical assistance to the Government of Botswana (GOB) to develop and implement strategic and multi faceted HIV prevention communication campaigns in order to increase the adoption of safer sexual behaviors and uptake of HIV prevention services. Through this project Population Services International (PSI) - Botswana aims to achieve the following objectives over the life of the project: 1) increase opportunity, ability and motivation of the target population to reduce high-risk sexual behavior, through supporting the current National SMC project; 2) strengthen capacity of GOB to design, plan, coordinate, implement and evaluate HIV communication campaigns by identifying and training 9 GOB campaign leaders; 3) develop a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation plan; and 4) develop a sustainability plan that will ensure GOBs ability to design, plan, coordinate, implement and evaluate future HIV communication campaigns independently.
PSI Botswana will build the capacity of the National AIDS Coordinating Agency (NACA), Ministry of Local Government (MLG) and Ministry of Health (MOH) to develop and implement effective communication campaigns and structures that can be maintained long term and institutionalized within NACA, MLG and MOH systems through a participatory approach. The campaign work will be carried out across identified priority health districts to be agreed with MOH, MLG and NACA which could potentially include Gaborone, Francistown, Mahalapye, Lobatse, Kanye, Kweneng, Maun and Serowe. The selection of health districts will however be finalized through upcoming consultations with stakeholders.
During the COP 11 period, PSI Botswana consulted with stakeholders to identify themes for the national campaigns relevant for the 15-49 year age range (inclusive of both men and women, rural and urban populations, and most at risk populations). Through a participatory effort with MOH, MLG and NACA, the themes selected for the national campaigns have been identified to be Safe Male Circumcision (SMC) and HIV Testing and Counseling (HTC). While qualitative formative assessments for both thematic areas will be conducted during the life of the project, in COP 12, PSI will conduct qualitative formative assessment for SMC, and for HTC in year two. In an effort to build program efficiencies and achieve cost effectiveness, in COP 12, PSI Botswana will use the Communication & Education budget in this project to support the existing SMC National Project. This budget will be used to increase the number of IEC materials, promotional materials, mass media and community events available to support the current national SMC project, pending agreement with key MOH, NACA and MLG stakeholders.
Currently there are no PEPFAR indicators for mass media, so although this is likely to be a major activity area PSI will therefore not report on prevention indicators for number of people reached by individual or small group interventions. However, we will provide narrative updates in our quarterly reports.
