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.

Federal Ministry of Health Medical Transmission/Blood Safety
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
This is a continuation of activity from FY08. The Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health (MOH) initiated this
project in FY04 with the goal of ensuring the provision of safe and adequate blood and blood products by:
equitable expansion of service to ensure national coverage; collection of blood only from voluntary, non-
remunerated blood donors from low-risk populations; the testing of all donated blood for HIV and other TTIs
and appropriate blood group serology; the appropriate use and safe administration of blood and blood
products; and the implementation of total quality management in the national blood service.
Given the critical importance of human resource capacity, additional staff were recruited and trained to
support the functions of the existing 12 blood banks. By the end of FY08, 831 blood bank staff and health
workers had been trained in blood banking and appropriate clinical use of blood. Guidelines, protocols, and
standard operating procedures were also developed to ensure delivery of quality blood services.
Activities for FY09:
Personnel: A total of 275 essential staff members will be employed by the NBTS for the 26 blood banks.
These staff will require salaries, benefits, and other incentives.
Training: lack of manpower is often one of the major constraints in the development and strengthening of
blood transfusion services. This in part is due to the lack of training opportunities, and the lack of defined
career structures and clearly-defined job descriptions for the professionals in transfusion medicine.
Appropriate training programs will help to meet manpower requirements, and in the development of skills
leading to improved career prospects. Therefore, continuing medical education, as well as pre-service
training of new staff, will be undertaken, based on the comprehensive human resource development plan
created in FY07. A total of 350 individuals involved in providing vein-to-vein blood transfusion services will
be trained. Exchange programs and placements will be conducted to ensure continued professional
development.
Equipment and supplies: provision of necessary equipment, consumables, and laboratory reagents is
important to fulfill the essential requirements for processing and screening of blood and blood components
with effective quality assurance. Equipment for 23 blood banks was purchased and distributed in FY06-
FY08. In FY09 equipment will be required for the remaining 3 blood banks. Supplies and consumables, as
well as vehicle operation/maintenance and other operational costs, will be required for all 26 blood banks. In
FY09, 26 mobile collection teams and fixed sites will be operational. Supplies are therefore needed for 26
mobile collection teams at a target of 4,000 units per team per year. This estimate includes requirements for
the fixed sites.
Community mobilization: Recruitment of blood donors is an important component of blood transfusion
service delivery. Community mobilization will be done through training of journalists, mobilizers, and staff.
Other communication channels for blood donor retention will also be used.
Blood Collection: The MOH, through ERCS BTS, will increase blood collection to 80,000 units in FY09. This
will be achieved through enhancing blood-donor recruitment activities in the regions, working toward the
national target of 120,000 units per annum.
