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: existing FBO/CBO/NGOs orphan support programs strengthened and expanded; strengthened
capacity of families and communities for the provision of care to children orphaned by AIDS.
Ambassador's HIV/AIDS Initiative
The Ambassador's Initiative directly funds FBOs, CBOs and NGOs working with children affected by AIDS.
The fund has facilitated training on community mobilization, and kids' club formation, advocacy and
provision of grants to ten organizations working in five villages and two towns. The project is implemented
under the technical guidance of Policy Project, which is a contractor of USAID/RHAP. The fund also
provides support to the Society of Students against AIDS (SAHA), which is a youth project at the University
of Botswana that does awareness raising and behavior change activities for the student community, and
Nurses Association of Botswana (NAB), which has developed a manual on Caring for Caregivers.
Inputs: The USG will provide funds and technical support through the USAID/RHAP office to Regional
Psychosocial Initiative (REPSSI) to implement OVC activities, as well as support SAHA and NAB.
Activities/Outputs: Policy Project will provide technical support for monitoring and evaluation, training and
material development. Policy Project will partner with REPSSI to develop a mentoring program between the
currently supported ten organizations as well as new organizations in the districts of Ghanzi, Tsabong,
Okavango, North East, North West and Hukuntsi. The program will include training on life skills, kids' clubs,
memory books development, child counseling, volunteer training, community mobilization and advocacy.
Policy Project and REPSSI will also link with MLG, MOE and MOH in training of trainers for OVC. Funds
will also support SAHA and NAB. NAB will be supported in implementing four regional training workshops
on caring for caregivers for nurses; SAHA will be supported to carry out peer education programs, develop
mobilization materials for university students, and implement a secondary school outreach project. Funds
will additionally support other local initiatives conducted by FBOs/CBOs/NGOs that strive to eliminate
stigma and discrimination in the response to HIV/AIDS in the country.
Outcome: Capacity for program and effective services delivery among FBO/CBO/NGOs working with
children affected by AIDS will be enhanced; the skill-base for nurses to provide care will be strengthened;
and, a pool of young leaders active in the response to HIV/AIDS will be created.
