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.
This is an ongoing activity and FY10 funding is to complete the construction that is currently underway. The Regional Procurement Support Office (RPSO) is a State Department partner whose main objective is to provide Foreign Service posts worldwide with a responsive and efficient procurement and contracting resource. The RPSO aims to assist the National Blood Transfusion Program by managing funds for the construction of a new National Blood Reference Center (NBRC) and to procure laboratory equipment to operationalize the NBRC. This activity will be restricted to the NBRC located in Maputo province. The procurement of equipments for the other blood banks will not be made by this implementing mechanism (IM). Our goal is to construct and equip the NBRC with the most up to date and reliable equipments used in blood banks around the world. By creating a state of the art NBRC in Mozambique, this implementing mechanism expects to attract more blood donors and strengthen the accuracy and quality of testing for transmission transmitted infections (TTI) thereby ensuring a safe and adequate blood supply for all
Mozambicans.
By strengthening the capacity for blood collection, processing, TTI testing, and distribution, this IM expect to address the objective 1.5 of the Partnership Framework between US government (PEPFAR) and government of Mozambique, which is to ensure safe blood and its products for those in need. The creation of a fully functional NBRC is key to strengthening the national blood transfusion service and will serve as a state of the art facility to house NBTP office, a training facility and all departments required to produce blood units with quality recommended.
The Regional Procurement Support Office (RPSO) has been involved in the process of construction of the new National Blood Reference Center (NBRC) since it started in 2006 including the procurement of architecture and construction contractors. COP 10 funding will be used to complete the construction of the NBRC which is currently underway and is expected to be a turning point for the entire blood transfusion services in Mozambique. This center will strengthen and improve the capacity for collecting, processing, testing and distributing blood. Also the goal of this activity is to ensure that this facility is equipped to handle waste properly. The NBRC will also serve as training facility and will be accountable for quality control system for NBTP. This implementing mechanism seeks to assist CDC and National Blood Transfusion Program (NBTP) in the construction and procurement of equipments for the new
NBRC building.
The involvement of RPSO in the procurement process is to reduce the time that MOH takes in the procurement process by working closely with CDC staff on the ground. This implementing mechanism will help to alleviate MOH duties and speed up the procurement of important equipments that will be delivered when the building is completed and will also guarantee that reliable equipments will be deployed on time. This activity will involve the construction and procurement of equipments only for the NBRC located in Maputo.
Blood banks facilities well equipped and well furnished are key to attracting new blood donors, particularly younger donors, and are also an incentive for regular donors. Safe and adequate blood supply begins with attraction of low risk blood donors. With this facility well constructed and equipped, this activity is expected to increase volunteer non remunerated blood donors and also increase the number of regular blood donors. In attracting and retaining low risk and regular donors through improvement of blood bank facilities, a safe and adequate blood supply can be assured for those in need. The presence of low risk donors in the facility will be an opportunity to pass on messages about HIV prevention either by direct mobilization or through printed educational materials.
