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 (7223).
During FY 2006, the USG team and its GOR counterparts agreed to drop Sanquin Consulting Services as the blood safety TA provider and replaced them with the AABB. The AABB's FY 2006 activities are focused on developing a joint work plan with CNTS to advance national strategic goals of the national blood transfusion program.
The AABB will provide TA to support the rapid strengthening of blood transfusion services in Rwanda. In FY 2007, the AABB will collaborate with the CNTS to develop and implement Rwanda-specific national standards on blood banking and transfusion medicine through a participatory process involving all key stakeholders. By the end of FY 2007, technical training sessions will be conducted to put the newly-developed standards into practice, improving the overall quality and consistency of the operational processes within the CNTS and ultimately improving the safety of the blood supply.
In FY 2007, technical trainings will focus on several critical areas to strengthen the CNTS, including donor screening and the related evaluation process, equipment operation and maintenance, infectious disease testing, blood donor recruitment, blood and blood component preparation, cold chain management, immunohematology, inventory management, labeling and quarantine management, data management, and documentation. The AABB and CNTS will conduct TOT for 33 training staff who will in turn train 180 district and reference hospital staff. Initial training sessions will be conducted by AABB staff or consultants, as appropriate, based on specific expertise required. By building this cadre of local trainers, CNTS will help ensure that technical capacity remains after the period of this project. The AABB will assist the CNTS in coordinating individualized trainings in management, supervision, quality management, and other specialized areas as needed. In addition, AABB will establish a resource center of reference materials for blood bank and transfusion medicine in Rwanda.
