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.
Results: strategies on behavior change and communication in injection safety implemented; improved
health care waste management; retractable injection device pilot project completed
Input: JSI has been awarded funding to implement an injection safety project under Track1. The goal is to
prevent new infections due to unsafe injections. JSI has conducted the initial assessment of injection safety
in Botswana which was completed in April 2004 and findings were used to establish baseline data and
identify informational gaps related to injection safety. JSI has also procured retractable syringes to be
piloted in the districts of Lobatse and Kgatleng. There will be no additional funds provided outside of track
1.
JSI has developed a strategy for advocacy as well as behavior change communication (BCC). BCC
materials are being developed and advocacy to health professionals in Botswana is continuing. There are
plans to monitor all aspects of the projects.
Activities/ Outputs: JSI will compile all lessons learned and document experiences and recommendations of
the initial project interventions to inform the National Injection Safety Reference Group about policy
development. Best practices will then be adapted into national level guidelines, norms and standards for
injection safety. As part of scaling up injection safety, JSI will evaluate and modify field-tested advocacy and
BCC to address issues that directly or indirectly constrain injection safety.
JSI will provide logistical and commodity management for retractable devices for Kgatleng District and
Lobatse Town Council (in the Southern district) to ensure that they are properly used. There will be
distribution of sufficient quantities of retractable syringes and matching quantities of sharps boxes and
equipment in the two districts. Monthly supervision to all health care facilities using retractable injection
devices will be carried out to assess emerging issues. JSI will address gaps identified during collection,
sorting, transportation, treatment and final disposal of health waste.
Outcome: JSI will complete the project and provide guidance to the Government of Botswana to improve
injection safety in the country.
Please note: Funding request is $0 because the funds- $580,000- are being provided centrally through
Track 1.
