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
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS FROM COP 2008:
AABB will support the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) in:
1. Rolling out blood component preparatioN
2. Developing and implementing a quality management systems strategy
3. Training of trainers (TOTs)
4. Establishing an electronic blood bank information management system
5. Evaluating the cost of services
6. Finalization of the Blood Donor Notification policy
7. Train health workers in National Standards for Transfusion services
8. Facilitate training of senior blood bank managers
SECONDARY CROSS-CUTTING BUDGET ATTRIBUTIONS
100 blood bank workers will be trained.
COP 2008
1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITES
This activity relates to the National Blood Transfusion Service's blood safety activity.
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
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 provide expert guidance and technical assistance to the NBTS resulting in better practices in
donor recruitment, blood collection, laboratory quality assurance, blood bank management and transfusion
practice. This support will include training, monitoring, guidance, oversight and mentoring through site visits
and performance evaluation. This linkage will strengthen the NBTS and improve institutional capacity for
effective program management. It will result in enhanced sustainability and safety of the blood supply. An
AABB/NBTS evaluation of the NBTS, performed in FY 2005 provided information that together with follow-
up discussions in FY 2006 and FY 2007 will be used to develop an action plan for further activities in FY
2009. The AABB will also assist in the development of skills in NBTS and volunteer blood donor recruiters
for identification and recruitment of potential low risk volunteer donors and their retention as regular donors.
Findings of the KAP study performed in 2004 will also be used to support development of IEC materials for
donor recruitment. Continuing education of health care workers in donor recruitment, blood banking and
appropriate utilization of transfusion will be provided and systems for training strengthened through
development of curricula for different cadre of health care professionals as well as the introduction of best
practices and evidence-based approaches to transfusion practice in Kenya. In service training and
continuing education will be delivered through workshops, symposiums, on-the-job training and mentoring.
Standard operating procedures will be revised and staff trained on their utilization so as to institutionalize
quality assurance in blood collection, processing, issuing and for monitoring of adverse events. Health care
workers at 20 health facilities will be trained on implementation of the recently completed National
Standards for Transfusion services. Appropriate methods for donor notification will be implemented in
conjunction with NBTS. Reliable record keeping and data management systems will be designed to
facilitate program evaluation and monitoring. AABB will continue to guide the process of restructuring of
laboratory space and procurement of supplies for centralized blood testing in Kenya. Two physicians will
receive advanced training in Blood Bank Management at Emory University or other facility to be identified.
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.
3. 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.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
This activity relates to NBTS's blood safety program/Track 1 cooperative agreement.
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
The activity targets blood bank staff and health care workers in transfusing health facilities.
6. EMPHASIS AREAS COVERED
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.
