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.
07-P0217: Kgothatso Prevention and Care Program.
This activity has USG Team Botswana Internal Reference Number P0217. This activity links to the following: P0204 & P0211 & X1406.
The objective of this program is to reduce the incidence of HIV among church members and the community at large.
Since its inception, the Kgothatso Prevention and Care program has trained 25 church and community leaders on pre-marital and marital counseling, with a special emphasis on HIV and AIDS. The program has held a seminar on HIV and AIDS and Family Life Education and reached 30 parents, and conducted a marriage enrichment course for 15 married couples to promote strong marital relationships within the congregation and to promote AB behavior with married couples. The program has commemorated the National Month of Prayer Against HIV and AIDS. The activities carried out as part of the commemorations targeted different population segments: for youth, there were drama and music performances with HIV prevention themes; for men, there were discussion sessions covering AB and parent-child relationships; for women, there were discussion sessions covering BCC and parent-child relationships; and for children, there were information sessions covering basic facts on HIV and AIDS and age-appropriate AB messages. This activity reached 1,000 people. Also, a workshop on Parenting and Communication was held for 5 pre-school teachers, and a two-day camp for 50 youth on AB behavior, relationships and sexuality was held. Thereafter, an abstinence club was formed with 5 youth pledging abstinence for one year.
In FY07, the program will conduct training workshops for 40 pastors and church leaders in marital counseling. In FY06, only pastors and church leaders of Kgothatso's central circuit were trained. This training will expand to include all the other circuits in the area and, if possible, other regions of the country. Another 15 couples will be trained in the marriage enrichment course to strengthen their marital relationships and increase faithfulness. It is also hoped that they will reach out to other couples with the same message. The program will conduct parenting workshops with the aim of strengthening parent-child communication on matters of relationships and sexuality; 30 parents will participate. In addition, support groups and other activities for 30 single people and single parents will be held to promote abstinence or secondary abstinence. Age specific youth seminars will be held for 50 youth ages 13 - 21 to discuss issues of sexuality and AB behavior. The program will host a panel discussion on the risk factors for HIV transmission, the benefits of AB practices, as well as its challenges. This activity targets at least 100 members form different congregations in Gaborone and the community at large. Panelists will be drawn from different denominations. The month of prayer will be commemorated in September and activities will be those outlined in the above paragraph, with the hope that an additional 1,000 people will be reached through these activities. Also, HIV/AIDS education workshops will be conducted for 40 pastors and church leaders to increase their awareness on issues pertaining to HIV and AIDS. Lastly, age appropriate HIV and AIDS education interventions will be carried out for 50 Sunday school children with a special emphasis on abstinence.
The program collaborates with Seventh Day Adventist Church on the marriage counseling activity, Campus Crusade for Christ for life skills training for youth, and BOCAIP in pastor training on marital counseling.
