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: strengthened institutional capacity to deliver ARV services; strengthening human resource capacity
to deliver ARV clinical care services
The Baylor Children's Clinical Center of Excellence (COE) was opened on June 20, 2003. The Center is a
collaborative public-private partnership. Conceptualized by Baylor School of Medicine and the Government
of Botswana, construction and equipment were funded by Bristol-Myers Squibb, a private pharmaceutical
company. The Baylor COE is integrated with the national MASA ARV program; ARV drugs and other
commodities are mainly procured by the government of Botswana.
Input: The USG will provide financial assistance to Baylor COE.
Activities/Outputs: Currently, 1,000 children and 82 families are registered for Highly Active Antiretroviral
therapy (HAART) through the COE and a daily HIV screening attends to 20 to 30 patients. The COE
routinely hosts health professionals to broaden their clinical experience in dealing with HIV-infected
children. In 2003, the COE played a key role in reviewing the old KITSO (Knowledge, Information, Training
Shall Overcome AIDS) training program and in developing the current and more comprehensive KITSO
training plan. This activity was funded by HHS/CDC. HHS/CDC BOTUSA is supporting the position of an
HIV/AIDS training coordinator at the COE. The coordinator is charged with the oversight and coordination of
all pediatric HIV training that takes place at the COE. In addition, the COE orients all the doctors and nurses
to pediatric HIV care in Botswana. Under the direction of the COE training coordinator, the COE staff, the
Department of Pediatrics at Princess Marina Hospital and the Botswana Network on Ethics, Law and HIV/
AIDS (BONELA) have developed advanced pediatric training course to support the national roll out of
treatment in Botswana. Implementation of the KITSO-Baylor Training course will continue in 2005 with the
USG financial assistance. Baylor will implement the ‘Advanced Pediatric HIV/AIDS training" to additional
sites in accordance with the KITSO national curriculum and the MASA program.
Outcomes: Provision of comprehensive care to HIV infected children and their parents, and training of
health professionals in HIV care and clinical research.
