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.
This is a continuation of activity from COP06. Federal Ministry of Health initiated this project in FY05 with the goal of ensuring a comprehensive national blood safety program that includes a safe mechanism for the provision of safe and adequate blood and blood products; to ensure the appropriate use of blood and blood products; to expand access to safe blood transfusion services; and to ensure a mechanism for blood collection, testing, distribution, transfusion and education to reduce the frequency of unnecessary transfusions. Supplemental funding as well as FY06 new monies was also obtained to implement blood safety project till the end of FY06.
The project aims to renovate 16 blood banks throughout the country in FY06. Preliminary work has been done in the first quarter of FY06 that will enable speedy implementation of planned renovation activities in time. Site selection for 16 blood banks, development of blood bank design, and preparation of renovation bid document have been finalized. The delegation of operational and implementation activities of National Blood Transfusion Services (NBTS) to Ethiopia Red Cross Society in January 2006 has significantly assisted speedy implementation.
Procurement of equipments, supplies and vehicles is initiated and in progress while renovation activities are underway. Even though the initial plan was to bring 16 newly renovated blood banks to a functional level by the end of FY06, the target was reset to a realistic 9 existing blood banks. The rationale behind this phased implementation of equipping the blood banks is to focus on strengthening the functions of the existing 9 blood banks in FY06 and simultaneously work on the renovations. Moreover, procurement of 10 vehicles is in progress and the vehicles will be in use in the blood banks during the 2nd and 3rd quarters of FY06.
Understanding the critical importance of recruitment and training of staff, additional staff will be recruited and trained to support the functions of the existing 9 blood banks. By the end of FY06, additional 200 blood bank staff and health workers would be trained in blood banking and appropriate clinical use of blood. Guidelines, protocols and SOPs were also developed to ensure delivery of quality blood services.
Based on the significant improvements made in FY06 implementation, the following activities are planned to be undertaken in FY07 as a continuation of the FY 06 activities:- - Training: In FY07, continuing medical education as well as induction training of new staff will be undertaken. A total of 250 individuals involved in blood transfusion service provision from vein-to-vein will be trained. Various cadres of staff will be sent to countries where there is considerable development of blood transfusion services through exchange programs. - Equipments and supplies: The renovation of the 16 blood banks will be finalized in FY06 and will thus require equipment, staff, consumables and running/operational costs. However, only 4 of the 16 blood banks will be operational in the year 2007. They will, thus, require additional staff, equipment and running costs. Therefore, a total of 13 blood banks require support to be operational for FY07. - Personnel: To make the 13 blood banks (9 existing and 4 newly renovated blood banks) operational in FY07, 68 additional staff will have to be recruited for the four newly renovated blood banks. The total number of staff for the 13 blood banks will be 221 at the beginning of FY07 (Including the 153 staff that will be recruited in FY06). Only 13 blood banks will start functions by the year 2007 by the funding that will be available even though a total of 25 blood banks will be supported though various activities.
