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.

I-TECH is a collaboration between the University of Washington (UW) and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). I-TECHs mission emphasizes working with local partners to develop skilled healthcare workers, strengthening national health systems, and ensuring sustainability by promoting local ownership. I-TECH works in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Global AIDS Program in Botswana, the Botswana Ministry of Health (MOH), and the Ministry of Local Government, in the areas of health service delivery, human resources for health, and research.
In FY 2012 I-TECH will continue to support two Safe Male Circumcision (SMC) teams (two doctors, 10 nurses, two auxiliaries, two site administrators, and two receptionists) for service delivery. Models for Optimizing Volume and Efficiencies (MOVE) will be used to support SMC scale-up, with 9,000 male circumcision procedures targeted for I-TECH teams during FY 2012. I-TECH is also projected to train 60 health care workers. In addition, I-TECH will second a national SMC Project Manager and SMC Logistics officer to the MOH to support coordination of the national SMC program.
I-TECH has also established strong linkages with other partner organizations such as the African Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Partnership (ACHAP), Botswana Harvard Partnership, Population Services International, JHPIEGO, University of Pennsylvania, and Associated Fund Administrators in the private sector. I-TECH Botswana supports programs in care and support, prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT), tuberculosis (TB/HIV), laboratory infrastructure, strategic information (SI), other health systems strengthening (HSS), and safe male circumcision (SMC).
Since 2009, I-TECH Botswana has supported the Government of Botswanas effort to scale up safe male circumcision (SMC) services in the following areas: capacity building through training of over 300 healthcare workers (HCW), quality assurance through on-site mentoring, service delivery at high volume SMC sites, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and capacitating the SMC supply chain system.
In FY 2012 I-TECH will continue to support two Safe Male Circumcision (SMC) teams (two doctors, 10 nurses, two auxiliaries, two site administrators, and two receptionists) for service delivery. Models for Optimizing Volume and Efficiencies (MOVE) will be used to support SMC scale-up, with 9,000 male circumcision procedures targeted for I-TECH teams during FY 2012. I-TECH is also projected to train 60 health care workers. In addition, ITECH will second a national SMC Project Manager and SMC Logistics Officer to the MOH to support coordination of the national SMC program. ITECH will procure a limited amount of SMC supplies as a contigency to stock outs exprienced at Central Medical Stores.
I-TECH will work closely with key stakeholders and partners (MOH, CDC, African Comprehensive HIVAIDS Partnership (ACHAP), John Hopkins University (JHPIEGO), and Population Services International (PSI) and ensure that the SMC program is well coordinated, resources are appropriately utilized, services are not duplicated, and data on the program is readily available for decision making and program performance monitoring. The SMC program is country owned and led and aims to mount a sustainable response to the HIV epidemic by addressing the national prevention efforts.
