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: 2013 2014
NOTE: The following is taken from summaries released by PEPFAR on the PEPFAR Data Dashboard. They are incomplete summary paragraphs only and do not contain the full mechanism details. When the full narratives are released, we will update the mechanism pages accordingly.
This project is a follow on to the BORNUS, Prevention, Care and Support project that was awarded under the PEPFAR New Partners Initiative (NPI). The goal is to contribute to the reduction of new HIV infections by offering comprehensive, community HIV prevention, care and support services, especially to the most vulnerable populations within the target communities in and around Tlokweng, Kanye and Morwa. Activities include: TB screening, prevention, case finding, and treatment; reducing the vulnerability of adolescent girls to HIV through community interventions; preventing GBV through community education; ensuring that gender is integrated across the organization’s programming by using tools like STEPS movies and Go Girls!; and, improving the quality of life of people living with HIV by providing PHDP and adult care. The “Go Girls” methodology was launched in Botswana by Johns Hopkins University under a PEPFAR-funded research-action program. Go Girls toolkits, which are evidence-based, come with training materials in both English and Setswana, which will facilitate quick project start-up. In addition, clients, who will mostly be girls and young women, will be referred to health facilities for HIV testing, STI screening and other related health services such as reproductive health, and family planning. The project embraces combination prevention and uses participatory approaches to ensure greater ownership and sustainability of the activities and outcomes. BORNUS has excellent community relations and extensive networks with other NGOs; the retired nurses have outstanding design, implementation and monitoring skills and a proven track record for running successful HIV programs. The project is aligned to the NSFII, PEPFAR Blueprint, and GHI strategy.
Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.
