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.
In an effort to produce evidence and document the achievements of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) activities, the Implementing Partner will evaluate critical aspects of the OVC portfolio that have been identified by the Government of Botswana, USG staff and other stakeholders. The contractor will identify best practices that can be incorporated into the design of future programs and will conduct performance and/or impact evaluations to determine the results achieved. The evaluations planned include: 1) an evaluation of the development, training and roll-out of the psycho-social support (PSS) component of the GOB OVC program that was supported by PEFPAR from 2007--2012; 2) collection and analysis of the costing data on the OVC program; and, 3) an evaluation of the impact of two OVC program activities designed to improve OVC family economic status through savings programs (GROW) and teach teens how to manage their personal finances (Aflateen) that are implemented as part of the Tsela Kgopo OVC and Gender project with Project Concern International.
