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. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION AND EMPHASIS AREAS
This activity seeks to reduce medical transmission of HIV through technical support from the American
Association of Blood Banks (AABB) to the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) for the provision of
adequate supplies of safe blood to all health care facilities in Kenya. Through twinning, AABB institutional
partners will support the international training of three (3) physicians in blood transfusion science and up to
ten (10) technical laboratory technologists in blood bank quality management systems. Seven (7)
information technology managers will be trained locally and abroad in electronic blood bank management
and data analysis so as to generate information for decision making within the NBTS. This activity will also
support the local and regional training of ten (10) donor counselors who will implement the newly initiated
notification of blood donors. This will result in better practices in donor recruitment, blood collection,
laboratory quality assurance, blood bank management and transfusion practice. Additional support will
include mentoring through site visits and performance evaluation. This linkage will strengthen the national
blood transfusion service and improve institutional capacity for effective program management. It will result
in enhanced sustainability and safety of the blood supply. In service training and continuing education will
be delivered through workshops, symposiums, on-the-job training and mentoring. These efforts will
contribute to the PEPFAR goal of improving safety and adequacy of the blood supply and in this way avert
new cases of HIV infection. Over the last four years six physicians have been trained in blood banking at
Emory University, Atlanta GA. Three are now working with the NBTS while the other three are lecturers in
Blood Transfusion at leading Medical schools in the country. Training of more physicians will enhance
appropriate blood use in the clinical setting as well as strengthen professionalism and leadership within
NBTS.
This activity includes major emphasis on local organization capacity development (NBTS), for prevention of
HIV transmission. An area of minor emphasis will be training of health care workers to enhance their ability
to mobilize safe blood donors and process and use blood appropriately.
2. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
At least 100 health care workers will be trained in blood safety. This activity aims to reduce transmission of
HIV through blood transfusion. At the current blood consumption rate in the country this would contribute to
the prevention of 4,000 cases of HIV.
3. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
This activity relates to NBTS's blood safety program/Track 1 cooperative agreement.
4. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
The activity targets blood bank staff and health care workers in transfusing health facilities.
