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 number of health care workers trained in PMTCT program management
Input
Under an ongoing University Technical Assistance Program (UTAP) agreement, the Francois-Xavier
Bagnoud Center (FXBC) at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey is twinning with MOH/
FHD, the Botswana Institute of Health Sciences (IHS) and the University of Botswana to strengthen pre-
and in-service training of health workers for the improvement of service delivery and program uptake.
Activities/Outputs
Activities for 2005 will include the development of a comprehensive in-service PMTCT training
program/plan, inclusive of role/responsibility definitions, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, skills
development for trainers, and didactic and facility-based models of training; and development of a family-
centered care model for PMTCT inclusive of follow-up care guidelines for mothers, fathers and infants. They
will also develop the integration of PMTCT into the midwifery curriculum at the Institute of Health Sciences
(IHS) and provision of in-service training for faculty biannually; development of an HIV master educator
cadre at IHS; circulation of a monthly PMTCT listserv as a training tool for PMTCT managers, trainers and
implementers; and development of strategies to disseminate best practices developed at the
HHS/CDC/BOTUSA PMTCT demonstration site.
Outcomes
The expected benefit to the program will be the improvement in the human resource capacity of the PMTCT
staff and all other implementers at the district level to improve the quality of care of the PMTCT program.
