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-C0809: House of Hope.
This activity has USG Team Botswana Internal Reference Number C0809. This activity links to the following: C0602 & C0613 & C0805 & C0901 & T1107 & T1114 & T1115 & X1406.
House of Hope is a community-based organization based in Palapye, a large and growing village in the Central District of Botswana. It was opened in 1999 in response to the alarming HIV/AIDS prevalence in the district. House of Hope operates a day care center for orphans aged 2 - 6 years and a support group for PLWHA. It aims to provide material and psychosocial support to OVC attending primary school. The OVC benefit from two meals and a snack daily, early childhood education, monitoring of their health, and home visits. Under the planned program, a more comprehensive approach to identifying and serving OVC within the community will be started with the training of community volunteers to assist in community outreach. House of Hope will involve leaders of 8 churches in identifying children who need help and in creating awareness about early childhood learning. The community volunteers will be trained on issues such as counseling, play therapy, child rights and child abuse. The trained volunteers will establish kids' clubs, which will offer information on HIV/AIDS prevention and life skills to the OVC. The selection criteria for OVC will be developed in conjunction with MLG's DSS. Regular home visits will be undertaken with the OVC and their families to ensure provision of basic needs and monitoring of their daily well-being.
The main purpose of this program is to provide OVC with preschool education and after-school program in order to stimulate their intellectual, physical, emotional and social development. Specific program activities include:
• Provision of preschool education • Provision of after-school program to OVC in primary school • Community involvement in identifying and caring for OVC • Training of volunteers on the care and support of OVC • Provision of psychosocial support through Kids' Clubs and Camps
During FY05 and FY06, the Centre was able to address the preschool educational needs of at least 90 OVC and provided an after-school program for 135 OVC. In FY07, the program will continue to scale up its activities to ensure that an additional 300 OVC benefit, bringing the total number to at least 525 OVC.
In FY07, the program will continue to collaborate with other OVC-serving organizations at the district level and participate in relevant forums to share best practices and lessons learned. Program staff will benefit from the Psychosocial Support trainings carried by DSS. The Centre will also establish referral systems to facilitate OVC access to other services. One such collaboration and referral will be to the Social and Community Development Office for needy OVC to have access to food baskets. The Centre will also collaborate with MOE's Circles of Support program to ensure that needy children benefit from the program.
In M&E, House of Hope will use its community level based indicators for tracking the program progress. Some of the tracking indicators include: • Number of OVC registered and receiving support from the Centre • Number of OVC referred for other services • Number of OVC receiving PSS • Number of Community sensitization meetings
