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 activity relates to HMBL (8860).
In FY 2007, the CNTS will continue activities to strengthen the national blood transfusion network. The CNTS will engage in ongoing procurement of needed supplies, continued monitoring, supervision and training activities, and focused efforts on assuring the quality of all aspects of transfusion-related services. The procurement of consumable supplies will remain a major emphasis area with materials purchased to support blood collection, transport, screening, processing and storage in 40 service outlets carrying out blood safety activities. Most procurement of equipment for infrastructure improvement will be completed in FY 2006. In order to increase the overall blood supply in FY 2007, CNTS will establish 30 new blood collection sites, and will recruit and train 50 new volunteers to conduct community mobilization and to organize blood collection drives in both new and existing collection sites.
In FY 2007, blood donor recruitment and organization will also be a major focus. In collaboration with the MINALOC, CNTS will foster the creation of 30 new local blood donor committees independent of the existing Red Cross structure. This is the first step in a long term process of creating a national network of local organizations of blood donors. CNTS will promote initial meetings of these groups as well as develop blood donor mobilization tools for their use. CNTS will also introduce a system for donor notification of positive screening test results, and will develop referral mechanisms to GFATM- and EP-supported clinical sites for initiating HIV care for those individuals notified of HIV-positive status. CNTS will launch new, innovative approaches to promote blood donation in urban areas, particularly Kigali, using television, radio and print media, as well as SMS text messaging.
In FY 2007, the data management system established in Kigali and Ruhengeri in FY 2006 will be expanded to Butare and will improve data collection for reporting and managing supplies and blood donor information. The EP funds will continue to support the CNTS to carry out its core functions of training, monitoring and supervision of all transfusion-related activities in Rwanda. This will include the training and retraining of health professionals involved in blood transfusion activities with targets of 33 CNTS staff trained (AABB target) and 180 district and referral hospital staff trained in three training zones - Kigali, Butare, and Ruhengeri. AABB will provide the TA for these quality-related activities.
