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.

THE ACTIVITIES ARE MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
1. Elaboration of activities
In FY 2009, the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) will continue to provide technical assistance
to advance the National Center for Blood Transfusion's (NCBT) strategic goals and to support the rapid
strengthening of blood transfusion services in Rwanda. Specifically, AABB will provide technical assistance
in support of the following: development of processes, procedures, documentation and training related to
quality management systems; training on equipment and facility preventative maintenance procedures;
support for NCBT donor mobilization efforts through knowledge, attitudes, perceptions (KAP) survey;
continued technical support for expansion of regional facility operations; ongoing training activities for the
rational use of blood in hospitals; development of processes, procedures, recordkeeping systems and
related training for Leukoreduction and Pathogen Reduction; facilitating the development of twinning
arrangements between NCBT and other blood transfusion facilities for the pursuit of certification of NCBT;
and ongoing support for the use of blood bank management software.
AABB will continue to provide technical assistance to the NCBT's efforts to improve the quality of existing
services and their pursuit of certification through the development of processes, procedures, documents
and recordkeeping systems for Quality Management Systems. This includes training on these processes
and procedures and support for integrating improved M & E systems into the Quality Management Systems
and related staffing. An important component to the FY 2009 activities will be the continued expansion of
the NCBT's implementation of process control and quality control procedures into both the operations of the
Kigali and regional facilities and across all operational areas inclusive of donor collections, blood
processing, storage, and distribution and laboratory operations.
It is anticipated that continued technical assistance will be needed to support the ongoing operation and
maintenance of the NCBT's use of computer blood bank management software.
Further, AABB will support the NCBT through the development of processes, procedures, documents and
recordkeeping systems and training for equipment and facility preventative maintenance.
AABB proposes to provide support to the NCBT's efforts for increasing donor mobilization and expanded
blood safety services in all five regions of the country through the performance of a Knowledge, Attitudes
and Perceptions (KAP) survey. This survey would provide valuable information on potential donors that
would allow the NCBT to effectively and efficiently mobilize and retain donors with low risk related to HIV
and other transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs).
AABB will provide technical support for development of processes and procedures and training to NCBT
staff for the introduction of leukoreduction and pathogen reduction intended to improve blood safety.
Additionally, the AABB will provide experts to assist in training of physicians on rational blood utilization and
component therapies.
Finally, AABB will recruit, retain and train in-country staff fluent in the local languages, culture and customs
to coordinate the above activities and technical assistance.
