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.
Results: strengthened monitoring and evaluation of the national ARV program; strengthened human
resource capacity to deliver ARV clinical care services; strengthened linkages to prevention and care
services including "prevention for positives" and PMTCT.
Inputs: The USG will provide financial support to Harvard University including funds to support a Monitoring
and Evaluation (M&E) officer and a Data Management officer within the national ARV program (MASA).
There will be no additional funds provided outside of Track 1 funds.
Activities/Outputs: The M&E officer will develop and implement MASA ARV Therapy Program performance
monitoring and evaluation strategies, and provide management, analytic vision and technical leadership for
M&E. The data manager will be responsible for the collection and storage of data required to help monitor
the National ARV Therapy Program and will develop the national ARV program monitoring database.
Together with the Data Manager they will constitute the M&E team.
Funds will also support one position for a clinical coordinator master trainer to assist the Government of
Botswana to more rapidly scale up sites initiating ARV therapy and escalate building capacity for the
Botswana MASA ARV Therapy Program. The clinical coordinator will develop a master trainer corps within
the health care system and coordinate, supervise and evaluate the nationwide training effort of a team of
master trainer health workers including expanding the role of nurses. Training will be conducted according
to the national KITSO training curriculum.
Outcomes: These activities will strengthen monitoring and evaluation of the National ARV Therapy
Program. They will also increase the number of clinicians knowledgeable in ARV care and treatment and
therefore accelerate the Government's roll out of the ARV program.
