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.

The Botswana Red Cross Society is the only non-governmental entity allowed to provide health care in the Dukwi Refugee camp. The services provided by the Red Cross to the refugees are based on the national treatment guidelines for Botswana. The focus is on treatment, care and support, TB/HIV, and prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT).There is one refugee camp in Botswana. Currently there are approximately 3,600 refugees in the camp. Of these, about 350 are known to be HIV positive. In FY 2011, the Botswana Red Cross Society (BRCS) supported by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UHCHR) and URC provided ARV treatment and PMTCT to refugees at the Dukwi clinic. All consenting refugees who test HIV positive receive a complete panel of blood tests including CD4 tests, full blood counts, and kidney function and those that qualify clinically are eligible for antiretroviral therapy.
The goal of this program in Botswana is to decrease morbidity and mortality from HIV among refugees in the camp at Dukwi. The objectives of this program are to: Provide HIV care and support services to refugees in order to prevent opportunistic infections though the provision of cotrimoxazole preventive therapy, treat sexually transmitted infections, and deliver therapeutic nutrition.
TB is known to be the number one cause of mortality among HIV infected individuals and has potential to erode gains made by ART programs. The government does not provide HIV associated services to refugees though TB services alone are. The Government of Botswana (GOB) has stipulated it will permit HIV services to be provided through donor agencies. The US Government through PEPFAR program has committed to providing these services to the refugee population including TB/HIV services.In FY 2013 and the future, the goal of the program in Botswana is to decrease morbidity and mortality from HIV among refugees in the camp at Dukwi by providing comprehensive TB/HIV services to refugees.The BRCS through PEPFAR support will continue to partner with MOH to provide TB/HIV prevention and treatment services for refugees at Dukwi. Specifically the support will provide, HIV testing of TB patients, TB screening of persons with HIV, Diagnosis and treatment of TB patients, including multi-drug resistant/tuberculosis (MDRTB), Provision of isoniazid prophylactic therapy (IPT) to eligible persons, and implementation of TB infection control in clinic setting per WHO and national guidelines.
This is a new program. The objective of this program is to prevent mother to child transmission of HIV among pregnant refugees and promote breastfeeding and family planning. To achieve this objective, the Botswana Red Cross Society (BRCS) will provide counseling and testing to all refugee pregnant mothers attending ANC services at the camp; provide triple antiretroviral prophylaxis (TAP) to HIV infected pregnant mothers as per national guidelines; provide early infant diagnosis to HIV exposed infants at 6 weeks of age and treatment to those who are infected; offer family planning services to all pregnant women attending ANC; and promote breastfeeding among HIV infected mothers receiving HAART.
The goal of this program in Botswana is to decrease morbidity and mortality from HIV among refugees in the camp at Dukwi. The objectives of this program are to: Provide antiretroviral drugs to refugees who are HIV-positive and meet the eligibility criteria for HIV treatment. This will be achieved through: 1. Purchase of ARV drugs, 2. Provision of ARV drugs to refugees, and 3. Retention in care for persons receiving ARVs.
