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.
Years of mechanism: 2012 2013 2014
NOTE: The following is taken from summaries released by PEPFAR on the PEPFAR Data Dashboard. They are incomplete summary paragraphs only and do not contain the full mechanism details. When the full narratives are released, we will update the mechanism pages accordingly.
The goal of this project is to develop and implement strategic and multi-faceted HIV prevention communication campaigns to increase the adoption of safer sexual behaviors and uptake of HIV prevention services. This is in-line with the Botswana National Operational Plan 2011-2016 (NOP) that highlights weakness in HIV prevention interventions due to insufficient intensity and targeting of past prevention intervention. This project aims to achieve the following:
1. Increase opportunity, ability and motivation of the target population to reduce high-risk sexual behavior. 2. Strengthen capacity of GoB to design, plan, coordinate, implement and evaluate HIV communication campaigns. 3. Develop a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation plan. 4. Develop a sustainability plan that will ensure GOB’s ability to design, plan, coordinate, implement and evaluate future HIV communication campaigns independently.
PSI Botswana will build the capacity of NACA and MOH to implement an effective communication campaigns structure in the following geographic areas; Gaborone, Francistown, Mahalapye, Lobatse, Kanye, Kweneng and Serowe. This is a continuing project targeting ages 15-49. PSI will continue to work with NACA and other stakeholders to build capacity for more Communication Campaign Champions -- focal communication officers identified by Ministries and NGOs. While Champions training began in FY 2012/2013, they will receive refresher training in FY 2014 and report on their progress. PSI also will support the HCT National Strategic and the implementation plan already underway. PSI will engage with other stakeholders to implement this strategy and continue to work with NACA on the sustainability plan for national campaigns.
Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.
This mechanism has no published performance targets or indicators.
