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 2015 2016 2017 2018
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 U.S. State Department is an active participant of the PEPFAR Team in addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Botswana. Through grants to community projects, the Ambassador's PEPFAR Small Grants Program encourages self-reliance within local communities and demonstrates the U.S. Embassy’s interest in the welfare and social development of Botswana. COP14 funding priority will be given to projects that respond to the Ambassador's strategic priorities which are youth, economic diversity and health. The U.S. Embassy Grants Officer will sign the Small Grant agreements and obligate PEPFAR funds. Grants will normally range from $5,000 to $25,000. We anticipate this year's grants will fund programs that target youth with life-skills and psychosocial counseling; provide recreational activities such as drama, sports and music; prepare youth for the job market; improve their livelihoods through creation of small businesses; and engage them in non-educational programs. We may also provide support for orphanages, preschools, and day-care centers which support orphans and children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS; support prevention efforts such as income generating projects for HIV infected women and caregivers and community-based education efforts that promote testing. Support will also be extended to programs that address gender and take into account how gender issues impact HIV/AIDS. It is estimated that with these funds we will reach an additional five to ten communities serving 5,000 to 20,000 people.
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.
