This mechanism has three main objectives aimed at strengthening the capacity of the Republican Blood Center (RBC) in KG to implement a comprehensive, national, blood safety program. In ROP14, USG funds will support activities to: 1) Mobilize increased numbers of voluntary, non-remunerated blood donors, especially among young people sustainable increases in the number of blood units collected from volunteer blood donors; 2) Expand oblast-level access to a computerized blood tracing system; 3) Contribute to sustainability by increasing the use of data not only for evidence-based medicine, but also to reduce costs and waste, and; provide logistics support to RBC staff to take advantage of non-ROP funded training opportunities (e.g., clinical use of blood, quality management systems). Projects supported by this mechanism are national in scope, with a focus on the national RBC headquarters in Bishkek. Blood donors, recipients of safe blood, laboratorians, RBC administrative and information technology (IT) staff, and clinicians involved in prescribing and administering blood and blood products will be the main populations affected by this mechanism. Activities will focus on the development of quality management systems throughout the RBC. Funds will support the expansion of a blood tracing IT system to oblast centers, and HRH support for a Bishkek-based IT technician. Funds will also support blood donor mobilization activities at Kyrgyz universities (Club 25), the implementation of a national blood donor mobilization plan, and logistics for staff to attend training courses provided through an HQ-based technical assistance (TA) project. CDC staff will also continue to engage with the GF to encourage continuation of GF blood safety funding for KG.

Mechanism Target Information

Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.

This mechanism has no published performance targets or indicators.
