This implementing mechanism seeks to reduce medical transmission of HIV and other transfusion-transmissible by increasing the number of health care facilities in Mozambique that have and adequate supply of safe blood. This goal is pursued through technical support to the Mozambican Ministry of Health (MOH) and the National Blood Transfusion Program (NBTP) for the rapid improvement of the safety and adequacy of the national blood supply, and has four strategic objectives: 1. Strengthen infrastructure of the Mozambique's National Blood Service; 2. Improve Blood Bank operations through implementation of quality standards; 3. Increase collections from voluntary, non-remunerated blood donors; 4. Improve Transfusion Practice. This project is in line with objective 1.5 of the partnership framework and supports the achievement of the goal number 1 of the PF which is to reduce new HIV infections in Mozambique. Through building capacity in the National Blood Service, this IM will help to ensure access to safe blood products for women suffering from complication before and during deliver and children suffering from severe anemia due malaria and thus contribute to the expansion and uptake of quality MNCH services. Access to safe blood will contribute for the following GHI global targets: a) reduce maternal mortality by 30%, b) reduce under five mortality rates by 35% and c) prevention of more than 12 million new HIV infections across assisted countries. In F12 the TA will go beyond central level assistance; TA assistance will be provided directly to the provincial blood banks mainly in the area of blood donor mobilization. Monitoring and Evaluation will occur by AABB defined process of submitting Terms of Reference prior to the initiation of an activity to both CDC and NBTP.

Mechanism Target Information

Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.

This mechanism has no published performance targets or indicators.
