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.
1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES This activity is linked to Track 1 funding for the National Blood Transfusion Service in blood safety (#7011) and to the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB), also in blood safety (#6840).
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION The USG supported the establishment of a national blood transfusion service in Kenya with six regional blood banks following the Embassy bombings (1998-2004). The national blood transfusion service's regional blood banks have since contributed to the ten-fold increase of blood units collected from low-risk volunteer donors and screened for transfusion transmissible infections including HIV starting at 8,000 in 2000 to 83,000 in 2005. Additional staff including nurses, laboratory technologists, data managers and blood donor recruiters with a marketing background have been employed in the last two years to facilitate increased blood collection, processing and data management. Each blood bank now has distinct departments for donor care, data management and finance and administration. Physical space within the blood banks now limits operational activities due to shortage of office space and storage facilities for both blood and consumables. Additional storage and office space for data management, administration and donor recruitment is required at four of the regional blood banks in Nakuru, Mombasa, Embu and Kisumu. The National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) has requested assistance in creating the required space. This funding will allow the extensions to each of the four regional blood banks to accommodate additional staff and thus facilitate greater efficiency in delivery of safe blood. Technical assistance in design of the facilities will be obtained from the American association of Blood Banks (AABB) who are a Track 1 partner.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA This activity will contribute to averting HIV transmission through blood transfusion, which is estimated to account for up to 10% of HIV infections worldwide. Adequate office accommodation will enhance planning of blood collection activities, staff training and data and commodities storage, retrieval and use.
4. LINKED ACTIVITIES This activity is linked to Track 1 funding in blood safety for the National Blood Transfusion Service (#7011) and the American Association of Blood Banks (#6840).
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED This activity will improve the infrastructure of the NBTS banks. Targets and target populations are reported under the NBTS activity.
6. EMPHASIS AREAS COVERED This activity has major emphasis infrastructure development.
The National Blood Transfusion Service has decided to centralize all blood testing so as to ensure quality testing for HIV and other transfusion transmissible infections. Restructuring of the laboratory in Nairobi to accommodate necessary testing equipment and cold rooms for blood and sample storage has commenced for this purpose but additional funding is required. These funds will be used to avail back-up for electricity and water to ensure continuous testing and cold storage of blood and blood products. A freezer room will facilitate long term storage of fresh frozen plasma and plasma samples for the establishment of a look-back system.
