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: management and leadership skills and abilities of middle and senior managers of HIV/AIDS
programs improved
The Sustained Management Development Program
The Sustained Management Development Program was established in 2003 at the Institute of Development
Management (IDM) with the assistance of HHS/CDC. The program provides a shortened course based on
local needs and is adapted from the longer HHS/CDC course. It is implemented by local graduates of the
HHS/CDC course.
Inputs: The USG will provide financial assistance.
Activities/Outputs: Managers receive training in critical management skills such as planning, organizational
management, conflict resolution, financial management and monitoring and evaluation. A course in the
HHS/CDC Epidemiology Computer Program EpiInfo 2002 is also offered to health professionals working in
HIV/AIDS.
In 2005, IDM will hold one SMDP training course for 20 managers and evaluate the program. One local will
be trained as a trainer by attending the six-week course at HHS/CDC.
Outcome: The goal of the program is to improve the quality of HIV/AIDS services provided in Botswana by
strengthening the management and leadership skills and abilities of middle and high-level managers in the
NGO, public and private health care settings.
