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: increased access to and availability of VCT services
The Department of Defense Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC) is the only USG Agency operating in
Botswana that has the authority to initiate contracts for construction of new facilities that don't remain in the
USG possession. Consequently, from 2001-2004 ODC was engaged in building eight Tebelopele
counseling and testing centers in support of HSS/CDC efforts to extend sound and sustainable counseling
and testing services nationwide- the first step in coping with the HIV/AIDS pandemic. This project continues
that tradition, constructing three additional centers. The project will employ a partnership that makes use of
the comparative advantages of ODC's contracting capability, HSS/CDC's technical expertise in managing
counseling and testing programs, and the newly established Tebelopele voluntary and counseling NGO's
capability to deliver services nationwide. Tebelopele and local municipal governments are able to site
permanent structures in central locations in each community, increasing the program's visibility and access
for all citizens. Without this partnership, Tebelopele lacks the capacity to construct these facilities. In the
past, HHS/CDC/Tebelopele was forced to either forego establishing critical testing capabilities in a
community or to lease buildings in remote locations at exorbitant rates with facilities ill-suited for laboratory
service and counseling/education activities.
Inputs: The USG through ODC will provide technical and financial support.
Activities/Outputs: In partnership with the HHS/CDC and the newly formed Tebelopele counseling and
testing NGO, ODC will construct three counseling and testing centers to complete the coverage of
permanently sited centers in all major population centers in Botswana, thus allowing the majority of
Botswana easier access to free, anonymous counseling and testing for HIV/AIDS. Tebelopele will furnish
and equip the facilities, hire and train counselors, provide testing supplies and equipment, fund the
continuing operation of the centers and provide program oversight for continued operation of the entire
HIV/AIDS voluntary counseling and testing program.
Outcome: Capacity for HIV/AIDS counseling and testing strengthened and services made more accessible
to the public.
July 11, 2005 (New Total Funding Request ($0)): One main reason:
DoD lawyers now tells us that we cannot use DSCA to do construction projects under the emergency plan.
This has been under discussion for a year.
