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: organizational capacity of civil society strengthened; coordination and collaboration of HIV/AIDS
activities at district level strengthened; strengthened community capacity to link prevention, care and
treatment services.
District Multi-Sectoral AIDS Committees Capacity Strengthening
Inputs: The USG will provide financial and technical assistance.
Activities/Outputs: District Multi-sectoral AIDS Committees (DMSACs) are the focal point for planning,
coordinating, and monitoring HIV programs in 24 health districts. With adequate capacity, DMSACs can
mobilize community members and leaders at the district and village level to contribute to HIV/AIDS
programs and policy development and to assure those programs are implemented in an effective and
coordinated way. District AIDS Coordinators are key to the successful functioning of the committees as well
as to assuring implementation of annual HIV/AIDS Action Plans developed in each district.
The U.S. National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) began capacity-building work
in 4 districts in Botswana in 2004. NASTAD provides a comparative advantage because its technical
assistance providers bring their current or recent experience in planning and coordinating state and local
level programs in the United States. NASTAD will complete the following activities in 2005 to enhance
district-level participation and mobilizing of Botswana's response:
•Expand intensive peer-to-peer partnerships between NASTAD technical assistance providers and District
AIDS Coordinators from four to eight districts to assure effective evidence-based planning and monitoring
with broad community participation occurs in these districts.
•Build capacity in evidence-based planning and monitoring in districts by assisting the MLG in convening a
training conference for all DMSAC leaders and by providing orientation and training to new and existing
District AIDS Coordinators.
•Build capacity in the MLG ACU in evidence-based and community-driven participatory planning.
The measurable component of this activity during 2005, "number of people trained," combines NASTAD's
intensive peer-to-peer approach and broader efforts to build capacity in district-level evidence-based
planning. The following groups constitute the NASTAD target:
•2 DMSAC co-chairs and 1 Technical Committee chair in 8 districts.
•25 DMSAC members in 4 districts and 7 partner NGO/CBO staff members and volunteers.
•45 program managers: 1 District AIDS Coordinator and 1 Peace Corps volunteer in 20 districts plus 5 MLG
staff.
A portion of the funds will enable NASTAD to evaluate Total Community Mobilization project for the
Government of Botswana as well as provide support and technical assistance for a 2005 antenatal
surveillance activity.
Outcome: This activity will build capacity of DMSACs and District AIDS Coordinators resulting in greater
community participation in planning and monitoring local programs.
