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.
Years of mechanism: 2008 2009
THIS ACTIVITY RECEIVED FUNDING LAST YEAR THROUGH THE NATIONAL BLOOD TRANSFUSION
SERVICE (NBTS). IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE ACTIVITY MAY ALSO RECEIVE FUNDING IN FY
2008 THAT WILL BE REPROGRAMMED FROM NBTS.
1. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
The Partnership for Supply Chain Management System (SCMS) will support all of PEPFAR Kenya's service
delivery activities through provision of an uninterrupted supply of HIV/AIDS- related commodities. Under
Blood Safety SCMS will procure equipment and reagents necessary for safe storage of blood and blood
products at hospitals. The National Blood transfusion service (NBTS) has recently centralized in Nairobi, the
testing of all blood collected within its network of six regional transfusion blood banks located in Embu,
Eldoret, Nakuru, Kisumu, Nairobi and Mombasa. Trained personnel in several hospitals have formed
hospital transfusion committees which serve to enforce appropriate blood use. These committees will be
guided by the recently released Standards for Transfusion services in Kenya and the Guidelines for
Appropriate Blood Use. This activity will support the NBTS to procure reagents for blood testing and
equipment for the production of blood and blood products. To improve hospital transfusion practice SCMS
will procure essential blood banking equipment such as platelet mixers, hospital blood bank fridges and
freezers for storage of blood components.
2. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
This activity will contribute to prevention of HIV through blood transfusion. Kenya aims to collect 180,000
units of blood from low risk volunteer blood donors. All the blood will be tested for HIV, hepatitis B, Hepatitis
C and syphilis. This activity will facilitate blood component preparation through procurement of equipment.
Components will increase blood availability through appropriate use and also reduce the occurrence of
adverse transfusion events. Blood donors will be notified of their test results and given information to
promote healthy positive living so that negative donors become regular repeat blood donors. HIV positive
donors will be counseled and referred for evaluation care and treatment as appropriate. Appropriate blood
use will minimize unnecessary transfusions which may expose healthy individuals to HIV infection. The
World Health organization estimates that 10% of HIV may be attributed to transfusion with infected blood.
3. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
This activity relates to all service delivery activities by SCMS which will enhance efficiency by maximizing on
economies of scale achieved through mass procurements and timely delivery of commodities. This activity
also links to Cooperative agreements with NBTS and American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) for the
provision of safe and adequate blood supplies.
4. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
This activity will benefit the general population by supporting the acquisition of blood free of HIV infection.
5. EMPHASIS AREAS
The major area of emphasis for this activity is commodity procurement.
