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: Sustained and Strengthened Media Campaigns Aimed at BCC Messages
Setswana-language radio drama "Makgabaneng" is an HIV/AIDS-related radio drama broadcast twice
weekly to a nationwide audience. The drama models positive behaviors and behavior change for, and
provides information about, a range of HIV/AIDS issues (e.g. abstinence, faithfulness, partner reduction,
testing, treatment, stigma reduction). Qualitative and survey data have indicated that the drama's
messages have a significant impact. For example, results of a household survey conducted in seven health
districts in 2003 indicate that 45% of respondents listen to Makgabeneng at least once a week and weekly
listenership is positively associated with, among other outcomes, greater knowledge about HIV issues and
less stigmatizing attitudes toward persons living with HIV/AIDS. Reinforcement activities (for example
Makgabaneng road shows, student/faith-based/community discussion groups, contests, epilogues, etc) are
also a part of this activity, to further support the messages modeled in the radio drama. The activity is a part
of the MARCH (Modeling and Reinforcement to Combat HIV/AIDS) project, based in HHS/CDC/Atlanta.
The NGO Media Support Solutions (MSS) has provided technical assistance to the drama team in the past.
About one third of the project is estimated to focus on abstinence, faithfulness, partner reduction, healthy
relationships, and basic HIV information, as reflected through the storylines related to those themes and
reinforcement activities for youth, a major focus in FY05. This activity table is for that portion only. The
remainder of the project is listed under an activity table in "Prevention: Other," to cover the project's
activities related to promoting counseling and testing, ARV information and adherence, PMTCT, stigma
reduction, disclosure, and other issues not related to AB and associated life skills.
Inputs: Funding to cover training of volunteer group facilitators, monitoring and evaluation, road shows and
development of IEC materials, as well as all radio production costs and technical and support staff for the
drama and reinforcement activities. Funding also is included for the transition of the program into an NGO,
and for salaries, benefits, and other technical costs (e.g. travel, related temporary duty assignments (TDYs),
printing, workshops) of two BOTUSA senior staff who work on this project and who link with the broader
behavior change project of which this is a part, MARCH (Modeling and Reinforcement to Combat HIV).
[Lots of revision.]
Activities: In FY05, we plan to continue the radio drama in its current form and with its current support from
MSS as well as to further pilot and develop reinforcement activities. Evaluation data collected in the
previous year about listenership and other topics will be further analyzed and disseminated to appropriate
channels, and other sustainable evaluation activities will be developed and implemented. Also, activities
will be added to provide technical assistance to help build the capacity of the project and its staff in areas
such as management, accounting, grants management, and development of organizational policies and
procedures. These inputs will allow the project to become its own NGO in early 2006.
Outcome: The radio drama will continue to be popular across the country and will cover a range of
important behavior change topics. The program will be strengthened as a result of having technical staff on
the ground, in particular the further development of the reinforcement activities, evaluation research, and
data analysis.
Reinforcement activities will be upscaled and monitored. Local capacity to provide high quality behavior
change communication media programs will be strengthened.
