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: 2014 2015 2016
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.
PEPFAR support of the GOB goal of improving the provision of a safe and adequate blood supply has yielded remarkable success with annual blood collections increasing from 13,210 in 2004 to an average of 20,000 in 2010 with HIV reactive blood units decreasing from 5.7% to 1.0%. However, in 2011, the National Blood Service (NBTS) experienced a steep decline in blood collections with only 16562 of the target 28,000 blood units collected and an increase in HIV reactive blood units from 1.0% to 1.8%. This signaled a threat to the safety and adequacy of the blood supply. To improve blood collections, during FY 2013 COP, the National Blood Service revived the in-school pledge 25 clubs and trained 1,249 student from 31 secondary schools nationwide. The Pledge 25 clubs encourage members to pledge to donate blood at least 25 times in their life. Fixed blood collection sites were created in four District Health Management Teams. 18,573 of the target 21,000 blood units were collected which was an increase of 12% with 1% of the units being reactive for HIV. For a population size of Botswana 2,024,904 (2011 Census) at least 40,498 units of blood are required per year. This is based on a WHO formula of 2% of the population. Currently only 45% is collected. The construction of a regional blood center in Francistown has been completed and 82 NBTS staff received in-service training in different aspects of blood safety. Program portfolio review revealed gaps in quality, donor mobilization and retention, data utilization, blood supply and service costing. Addressing these gaps is critical for the sustainability of the program beyond PEPFAR.
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.
This mechanism has no published performance targets or indicators.
