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.

The Minstry of Health (MOH) is the governmental body responsible for blood safety in Angola. Within the MOH, the National Blood Center (NBC) is responsible for developing national policies and guidelines for the delivery and implementation of blood safety interventions. The NBC is the only official national safe blood service provider of the Government of the Republic of Angola (GRA). Supporting the NBC is consistent with the Millennium Development Goals and the national mandate to strengthen the central system for sustainable practices in blood safety.
The MOH/NBC is currently working with the USG, the GFATM the private sector, and Safe Blood for Africa to train blood service staff at the provincial level as well as medical personnel in the proper use of blood products, how to mobilize voluntary non remunerated blood donation (VNRBD), the strengthening of information systems, and exploring commitments for site renovations. With this collaboration in place, the MOH/NBC is positioned to use these funds to expand efforts to ensure an adequate supply of safe blood for transfusion from VNRBDs.
The USG with the GRA will also develop and implement a project-specific monitoring and evaluation plan by drawing on national and USG requirements and tools, including strategic-information guidance provided by the Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and WHO. Furthermore, the USG will support development and implementation of a sustainability plan that includes advocacy with the GRA for increased commitment to national blood safety efforts. This is a continuation activity. FY 2011 will be:
1. Increase the number of VNRBD
2. Support the provinces
3. Most technical assistance will be provided through the CDC central mechanism with HOP funding.
FY 10 funds were designated for capacity building and infrastructure development of NBC. The NBC will continue to implement the national screening strategy for all donated blood and blood products, using the most appropriate and effective tests, and adhering to good laboratory practices. This is a continuation activity and FY 2011 focus will be the following:
Supporting centrally located training activities in Luanda to improve service
development in Angola, particularly in the areas of quality management of blood
donors, materials handling and testing for transmittable infections (TTI);
Supporting situational analysis of selected provincial blood services.
Assess and review the infrastructure, technical capacity, and existing or potential
community networks that could support VNRBD;
Training to promote and increase the number of VNRBD;
Training, including principles of Quality Management Systems, in specific areas of
blood safety, including monitoring & evaluation; and
Support the provinces
Most technical assistance will be provided through the CDC central mechanism with HOP funding.
