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.
Activity linked to P0302 & P0303
SBFA, by using FY05 and FY06 EP funds, has assisted the Botswana NBTS to 1) complete renovations of the NBTC in Gaborone, 2) purchase equipment 3) recruit Blood Transfusion Service Staff, 4) train 124 individuals in blood safety, 5) train 30 hospital blood bank staff, 6) establish hospital transfusion committees in 11 hospitals, 7) establish a call center, 8) develop Information Education and Communication (IEC) materials (information leaflets, bill boards), 9) develop a TV advertisement, 10) conduct 14 in-school "Pledge 25 Club" workshops, 11) raise public awareness on blood donation in 16 villages, and 12) develop 2 newsletters to promote safe blood transfusion practices.
In FY07, the activities will build on FY05 and FY06 activities to further strengthen the NBTS in line with the 5-year strategic plan. Donor recruitment and retention will be achieved through community mobilization/participation . SBFA will assist in the development and implementation of a national advertising campaign to recruit low risk members of the community to enroll as blood donors and assist in the coordination of pledge 25. The major emphasis during FY07 will be for infrastructure development. SBFA will provide technical assistance in completing the renovation of the NBTS transfusion centre in Gaborone, and provide support and assistance during the NBTS relocation to the new facility. SBFA will also provide assistance for construction of the Francistown regional blood transfusion centre by RPSO. SFBA will continue to provide technical assistance and support for manufacturer and supplier of laboratory reagents and consumables to improve donor testing. SBFA will continue the in-service education program it began in 2005 for NBTS staff. Topics include blood donor recruitment, donor counseling, blood collection, testing systems, component production, labeling, storage, distribution, hospital blood banking, and quality assurance. These trainings will reach 60 laboratory personnel, 16 Blood Donor Counselors, 3 Blood Donor Recruiters, 32 Nurses, and 32 Doctors. Competence in these areas for these personnel categories is essential to ensure blood safety and effective implementation of a quality management system. SBFA will facilitate the review of the national blood policy and the clinical guidelines for the use of blood and blood products, and follow-up with existing hospital transfusion committees. Monitoring and evaluation procedures require participation in routine as well as specific operations; thus the continuing and effective participation in regular stakeholder and technical group meetings is a major contribution to maintaining a regular monitoring and evaluation process. SBFA will provide supportive supervision in the implementation and monitoring of action plan. Sustainability is dependent on achieving all the above objectives and demonstrating that an effective, high quality blood transfusion operation can be developed and maintained in the Botswana environment.
