Safe Blood for Africa was programmed in mini-COP 08 as a USAID partner, however, USAID/Angola has

no existing mechanism with this organization. To program this activity at USAID, it would require an

extensive competitive award process which might or might not result in Safe Blood for Africa winning the

award. All possible alternatives were explored including the purchase of equipment. The option to support

this activity by using GHAI funds through CDC is the only viable option. Because of limited GHAI funding for

USAID, only $60,000 will be available for training activities. Safe Blood for Africa has planned and will

coordinate this activity with CDC. Future funding will continue with CDC PEPFAR funds. The other $40,000

will contribute to the health system strengthening activities of EHSP.
