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.
Result: integrated alcohol and substance abuse prevention into BCC, especially in schools and health care
settings
Alcohol and substance abuse prevention work: health care provider focus
The objective of this activity is to strengthen the HIV health care sector's ability to screen for alcohol and
substance abuse among clients and provide appropriate referrals. This activity is a response to the high
prevalence of alcohol and substance abuse in Botswana and the links between that and HIV infection and
poor ARV adherence. Health care providers are in a key position to help identify such issues in their clients,
but their ability to handle these issues needs strengthening.
Inputs: The USG will provide funding and technical assistance.
Activities/Outputs: The awardee will work with HIV counselors and other health care providers to heighten
their awareness of the relation between alcohol and substance abuse and HIV prevention, care, and
treatment. Tools to screen clients will be developed and piloted, an appropriate training program will be
developed and implemented, and referral networks will be strengthened.
Outcome: HIV/AIDS health care sector will be better prepared to identify and handle alcohol and substance
abuse among clients.
Note: Once the grant is awarded, the targets and target groups will be better defined.
