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.
Prevention of Mother and Child Transmission Technical Assistance Costs

HHS/CDC BOTUSA operations costs Include information technology operations, and other management
costs
Inputs: The USG provides funding
Activities/Outputs: These funds support management and staffing costs including salaries, travel costs,
training, rent, printing, supplies and associated operational costs. Information technology needs are also
included. Various monitoring and evaluation strategies including budget tracking are carried out. Budget
allocations are assessed against priorities in the plan and spending is realigned as needed.
HHS/CDC/BOTUSA IT operations strengthen national HIV/AIDS treatment, prevention and care programs,
and increase uptake in programs, adherence and efficacy. The target in 2004 is that HHS/CDC/BOTUSA
technical information technology backstops all the USG national HIV/AIDS treatment, prevention and care
operations. Various monitoring activities including assessment of software applications will be carried out.
HHS/CDC/BOTUSA will also reimburse the Department of State for support services provided to
HHS/CDC/BOTUSA as per the requirement under ICASS regulations in the Department Of State. Under
ICASS, there is a component of strategic information that will be obtained through ICASS reports that are
funded through routine mission operations. ICASS charges are $819,036.
Outcomes: HHS/CDC/BOTUSA administrative and information technology operations back up all the USG
national and Government of Botswana HIV/AIDS implementation strategies on treatment, prevention and
