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.
For years, the Department of Defense Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC) has collaborated with the
Botswana Defense Force (BDF) in addressing HIV/AIDS among soldiers, their families, and the
communities in which they are stationed. In 2004, a five-year project was initiated to strengthen HIV
prevention activities, such as workshops and seminars for BDF forces at all levels, training and support for
peer counselors, and the development and dissemination of related IEC materials. Activities have also
focused on addressing stigma and discrimination, promoting testing, promoting the use of condoms with
casual sex partners, and strengthening the referral network between the BDF and other HIV/AIDS services
(e.g. ARV program, orphan care). Some funds also have been used to purchase materials (e.g., books),
services (e.g., ongoing internet access for HIV counselors), and rapid HIV test kits. In FY 2004, this
program was fully funded through the ODC Humanitarian Assistance program. Beginning in FY2005, the
initiative will be undertaken utilizing Emergency Plan funds.
Inputs: The USG will provide funding and some technical assistance.
Activities/Outputs: In FY05, this project will become an Emergency Plan initiative, including the range of
activities described above
Outcome: High-risk behavior among BDF soldiers and family members will decrease; capacity of BDF to
address HIV/AIDS will increase.
