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: 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
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.
SBFA will support legislative activities that will lead to the establishment of NBTS as an independent or semi-autonomous agency/commission. SBFA will establish guidelines for best practices in blood transfusion in Nigeria to include guidelines on voluntary blood donor recruitment, blood collection and donor care, donor counselling, blood group serology and TTI testing and for physicians, guidelines on the appropriate clinical use of blood and anti D prophylaxis; as well as the development of model standard operating procedures for hospital blood transfusion at the clinical interphase. SBFA will support NBTS in blood donor mobilisation programs.
SBFA will provide technical assistance to further develop the training of trainers program for the NBTS. This will include further capacity building of NBTS trainers and trainers from healthcare facilities. SBFA will work with the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria to provide training for institutions producing new medical laboratory scientists for the purpose of including ELISA and appropriate cross matching training for transfusion transmissible infections in their training curriculum.
There will be continuous mentoring exercises of NBTS centres because of the demonstrated need for support in operational areas. SBFA will conduct trainings in partnership with NBTS on quality implementation to enable NBTS prepare towards obtaining accreditation. SBFA will support NBTS to ensure secondary and tertiary hospitals test blood for transfusion using ELISA/EIA technology. SBFA will also assist the NBTS to commence blood components production. SBFA will provide all the necessary technical assistance required to the NBTS to finalise the blood safety training manual developed in 2010.
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.
