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
Continuing activity: The American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) has been awarded Track 1 funding to
provide technical assistance (TA) and support to the Mozambique Ministry of Health (MOH) National Blood
Transfusion Program (NBTP) for purposes of strengthening the blood supply and ensuring blood safety in
Mozambique.
Key activities planned by AABB for FY08 are:
1) Continue assistance in establishing a legal framework and appropriate blood legislation, regulation and
policy. During the first year of USG support, AABB has provided TA to the NBTP for the development of a
National Blood Transfusion Policy. This National Policy is currently under review by the MOH legal
department. AABB is attentive to the need of a further round of discussion before final approval.
2) Establish a NBTP Advisory Board and continue assistance with the definition, improvement, and
implementation of an overall management structure for the NBTP. Develop a network of key stakeholders
and regional partners. Provide appropriate management training for key NBTP personnel.
3) Assist in securing approval and implementation of national standards related to blood collection, testing,
and transfusion and then support training on these standards.
4) Continue support and development of plans for renovation and expansion of NBTP facilities and
improved procurement processes for critical equipment and supplies. Improve process for the installation,
operation, maintenance, calibration, and repair of critical equipment.
5) Continue with development and implementation of data collection systems for Monitoring and Evaluation
(M&E), and Quality Management Systems to routinely monitor progress and operational activities. New
forms for data collection system have been developed and are currently being piloted in key national
centers. National implementation of the new form is scheduled for FY08.
6) Continue with development and implementation of training materials and Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPs) for donor services, donor evaluation, donor registration and identification, blood collection,
infectious disease testing, and mobile collection. Establish SOPs and schedules for storage, transport, and
distribution of blood. SOPs have been developed in Portuguese.
7) Conduct training sessions on donor services, donor evaluation, donor registration, and identification,
phlebotomy, and blood collection in mobile units or camps, blood component preparation, infectious disease
testing and immunohematology. Training materials are being translated to Portuguese, adapted and
sessions conducted in Portuguese. This strategy has allowed the development of a training-of-trainers
(ToT) approach which will facilitate the roll-out of trainings to further blood banks through Mozambican
blood bank trainers in the futures.
8) Train key NBTP personnel on quality management systems (QMS).
9) Provide technical assistance to the NBTP to conduct baseline Knowledge Attitudes and Perceptions
(KAP) survey. The protocol of this survey has been finalized and will be submitted to the US IRB and the
Mozambique Bioethics Committee. Implementation of the study will follow immediately after approval
according to a planned schedule.
10) Develop Information Education Communication (IEC) materials to educate donors and promote
voluntary blood donation and develop consistently applied donor notification policy regarding test results.
11) Assist the MOH NBTP in identification and establishment of linkages for fellowship opportunities for
physicians in transfusion medicine.
In support of activities number 4 (support plans for renovation and procurement for critical equipment and
supplies), 5 (development and implementation of data collection systems to monitor progress and
operational activities), 6 (development and implementation of training materials and Standard Operating
Procedures), and 8 (training of key NBTP personnel on quality management systems), AABB will be
utilizing existing linkages with Brazil to station and maintain Brazilian blood safety expert(s) in Mozambique
for extended periods of up to 3 months.
