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 continuing activity. The GOE National Health Sector Development Plan (HSDP IV) identifies blood safety as a high priority in support of the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS and other transfusion transmissible Infections (TTIs). The GOE Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) is in the process of taking over the management of the blood transfusion services from the Ethiopian Red Cross in an effort improve to better meet the national needs for safe blood. By early 2012, the construction of 21 new blood banks will be completed, of which 17 will become fully functional. The remaining 4 will be functional in two years. The goal of the FMOH blood safety program is to meet the health care systems blood safety needs on a national-level. The program is aligned with the goals of the GOE and USG HIV/AIDS Partnership Framework and Global Health Initiative, where an increased blood supply is critical to reduction of maternal mortality.
The FMOH blood safety program will implement the following activities under COP2012:
1) Blood collection from voluntary donors will be strengthened through mobile teams. A total of 27 mobile teams will be established in 21 blood banks. Pre and post donation counseling will be provided for donors. Donors will be notified immediately of test results for transfusion transmissible infections (TTIs) and referral to health facilities will be arranged for those who require clinical care. To meet the rapidly expanding health care demand, the FMOH has set a target of collecting 120,000 units of blood per year.
2) Medical education & pre-service training for new staff will be provided. Staff training within clinics will be enhanced to ensure safety of the recipients to decrease unnecessary transfusions. Total of 500 individuals will be trained over two years. Exchange programs with centers of excellence as well as mentorship will be additional modes of technological transfer and capacity building.
3) Recruitment of blood donors is an important component of transfusion service. Community mobilization will be done through training of blood donors' mobilizers and communication professionals. Other communication channels for blood donors education, mobilization, recruitment and retention will be utilized. Promotional materials (brochures, posters. radio &TV messages) will be disseminated to mobilize donors and increase public awareness about blood transfusion & donation. Community blood donors clubs will be established under the auspices of regional blood banks.
4) Rolling out of quality management systems to the regions will be completed. Mechanism and systems for M&E will be developed and implemented.
5) Blood & blood products must be stored and transported at correct temperatures to all collection centers, blood banks and hospitals. The cold chain system will be maintained in transporting blood from the BB to the health unit. Equipments and supplies that are needed for blood banks and hospitals to meet these requirements will be procured and distributed to the sites.
