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.
Result: partnered with alcohol distributors, breweries and related business partners to promote responsible
drinking and sensitization to the role that alcohol plays in HIV infection
In 2003, a national workshop on HIV/AIDS and alcohol and substance abuse was held in Gaborone, where
the ties between and the importance of alcohol/substance abuse to the HIV epidemic in Bostwana were
highlighted. For example, research has shown that, among TB patients in Botswana, the adjusted odds
ratio for HIV infection was 6.8 for those who used (or whose partner used) alcohol prior to sex, compared to
those who did not (reference available). Following the national workshop, BOTUSA and other partners
began new discussions with the leadership of the major brewery, KBL, to discuss ways to work together.
This activity builds on this recent momentum.
The objectives of this activity are to reduce unsafe sexual behavior and poor medical adherence to ARVs
associated with alcohol consumption among Batswana that attend bottle shops (liquor stores),
bars/nightclubs and other high transmission areas associated with alcohol and to better mobilize the alcohol
and beverage industry to address the links between HIV/AIDS and alcohol and substance abuse.
Inputs: The USG will provide funding and technical assistance.
Activities/Outputs: The awardee will strengthen the collaboration already begun between the major
brewery in Botswana-KBL, with HHS/CDC/BOTUSA and other HIV/AIDS partners, to help KBL better
address HIV/AIDS through its distribution network and products. Awardee will work with KBL and related
private sector companies and the government of Botswana to sustain a discussion about the HIV/AIDS-
alcohol/substance abuse link and to act on priorities outlined in a national meeting on the link between
alcohol and HIV held in 2003. Through this collaboration, IEC and other interventions that promote both
HIV prevention messages (ABC) and anti-alcohol abuse messages will be offered in key areas where
alcohol is served or distributed, including bottle shops, bars, and night clubs. Localized media and
interpersonal communication activities will be developed for these sites to increase the adoption of safe sex
behavior among customers and clients in such sites.
Outcome: High risk behavior among alcohol drinkers will be reduced; collaborative relationships with
breweries and other private sector groups related to the alcohol industry will be strengthened.
Note: Once the grant is awarded, the targets and target groups will be better defined.
