NOTE: The following is taken from summaries released by PEPFAR on the PEPFAR Data Dashboard. They are incomplete summary paragraphs only and do not contain the full mechanism details. When the full narratives are released, we will update the mechanism pages accordingly.

In order to ensure safe blood products for those in need in Mozambique, the Ministry of Health of Mozambique intend to: 1) Establish an autonomous nationally-coordinated National Blood Transfusion Service; 2) Operationalize the National Blood Reference Center (NBRC) in Maputo; 3) Increase blood collection to meet clinical demand; 4) Reduce family replacement blood donations by increasing voluntary non-remunerated blood donors; 5) Strengthen blood bank's testing capacity and ensure production of blood components; 6) Establish an EQA program for blood banks; 7) Promote appropriate clinical use of blood. By preventing HIV transmission via blood transfusion, this implementing mechanism is addressing the objective 1.5 of the partnership framework which is to ensure access to safe blood product and safe medical injections and enhance safety for health care workers. The prevention of HIV transmission through blood transfusion is one the most important mean to reduce new HIV infection. Besides being a foundation for HIV prevention, ensuring access to safe blood products is essential for GHI strategy since bleeding during and after delivery is accountable for more that 30% of deaths in Africa. Therefore, Availability of safe blood products is critical if Mozambique aims to reduce maternal mortality. The establishment of semi-autonomous national blood service and approval of an appropriate legislation will imply that gradually all costs associated to this implementing mechanism will be funded by GOM and USG support will be concentrated on providing TA. Qualitative and quantitative indicators are going to be measured, including: establishment of a national blood transfusion policy and guidelines for blood transfusion and number of roll-out trainings.

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.
