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 National Blood Transfusion Service is funded by PEPFAR to build its capacities in order to ensure an adequate supply of safe blood.
Objectives:
Strengthen the NBTS' capacities for the collection, separation, storage and distribution of blood units
Pursue the implementation of the NBTS' Quality Management System
Accredit the NBTS laboratories
Increase the number of new blood donors and strengthen the fidelization process
Strengthen the NBTS' Information and M&E System
Strengthen the legal and institutional capacities of the transfusion system.
1.
Strategy to become more cost-efficient
Decentralization of transfusion activities through 26 transfusion sites and 4 laboratories
Assignation of in-country team leaders for the organization of local training
Strengthening of partnerships with National/ International Institutions for initial training on blood safety.
2.
Strategies to transition your activities to national/local structures
Coordination of transfusion activities by the Health Directors
Coordination of transfusion activities by the MOH at a national level
Building of advocacy to involve local stakeholders in the financing of blood safety activities
Validation of the 4th Consensus Conference recommendations regarding the sustainability of transfusion activities
Vehicles:
Through COP11: 5. In COP12: 4 ($160,000). The NBTS will open 10 new blood-collection sites in the coming months and needs vehicles to transport blood products and supervise activities. Through life of project: 15.
With FY 2012 funding, the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) will build on and extend previous efforts to:
1. Strengthen the NBTS' capacities for the collection, separation, storage and distribution of blood units:
- Pursue the equipment of the new installed and existing blood transfusion centers
- Strengthen storage and distribution capacities of 5 blood banks
2. Pursue the implementation of the NBTS' Quality Management System:
Pursue the process for the certification of NBTS blood transfusion services
3. Pursue the process for the accreditation of the NBTS laboratories:

Accredit the NBTS laboratories
4. Increase the number of new blood donors and strengthen the fidelization process:
Pursue the development and the implementation of the NBTS' strategic plan for communication and community mobilization
Organize the World Blood Donor Day
5. Reinforce the biological analysis of the collected blood units
Equip and open the laboratory of Abengourou BTC
Purchase effective tests for the laboratory analysis in the BTC of Abidjan, Daloa and Yamoussoukro
Pursue the quality control of blood products
6. Improve and sustain the donors tests results notification system:
- Implement general actions: strengthen BCC activities prior to blood donation; encourage blood donors for tests results through the NBTS Web site, SMS, and other communication tools
- Implement specific actions: collaborate with the medical unit or the AIDS committee to encourage blood donors for tests results; collaborate with the PNPEC and the VCT centers for post test counseling
7. Establish a partnership with the VCT centers for the care and treatment of donors confirmed reactive to HIV, and the recruitment of HIV-negative clients for blood donation:
Reinforce care and treatment of blood donors on all NBTS fixed sites.
8. Improve the therapeutic and clinical use of blood and blood products:
Strengthen diversification, storage and distribution of blood products
Pursue the implementation of the National Haemovigilance System
Coordinate the collection and the management of data linked to the in-hospital usage of blood products
9. Build the capacities of the NBTS' staff and other stakeholders in blood safety activities:
Train the NBTS' staff in good practices of transfusion
Pursue supervisions and on-field training
Implement initial training programs on blood safety
10. Strengthen the NBTS' Information and M&E System: $ 200 000
Purchase equipments to upgrade to e-Progesa
Pursue the extension of the NBTS national computer network and ensure its security
Conduc audits of the Blood Safety Program
Implement evaluation to assess program impact
11. Ensure the coordination and the sustainability of Blood Safety Activities:
Initiate the working group to validate and implement the recommendations of the 4th Consensus Conference for the sustainability of the Blood Safety Program.
12. Strengthen the legal and institutional capacities of the transfusion system
Conduct the application of legal texts and directives related to the clinical use of blood products
Build an advocacy to make of the Blood Safety Program a National Program.
13. Pursue the management of the NBTS/PEPFAR Blood Safety Program
