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.

Funds will support three projects with a total of seven structures - 5 District Labs, National Health Lab and National TB Reference Lab Francistown.
1) $550,000 will plus up the five district laboratories to be built. They will be identical multipurpose labs. This will reduce design expenses and leverage training effect for laboratory technicians who may be working at multiple sites. The structures are single story.
2) $400,000 of the new funds is to plus up a new national health laboratory that will be constructed in Gaborone. The old laboratory was not suitable for renovation. The new laboratory will be a biosafety level 3 facility able to perform molecular and other specialized tests to monitor communicable diseases. The lab will also serve as a center of excellence with training and quality assurance capabilities.
3) $250,000 of the new funds is to plus up the building of a TB Reference laboratory in Francistown to support TB diagnostic efforts in the northern half of Botswana. Because of delays in construction and inflation of the cost of building materials, the funds allocated were not enough to cover all the expenses. FY12 funds will cover the budget shortfall. Original funding for this project was in COP07.
No funds allocated to RPSO in COP 13.
