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.

SUMMARY:
The South African National Blood Service (SANBS) has expanded and its donor base more representatives
of the demographics of the country by establishing four new donor clinics in geographical areas previously
not serviced by the organization. The recruitment and educational programs aimed at new donors will focus
on the relationship between safe lifestyle and utilize abstinence and be faithful (AB) messages. The
outcome of the program will be measured by donor recruitment and retention, and HIV prevalence in
donors.
ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:
Four new clinics in FY 2007 will be established in primarily black communities. In July 2007 a donor clinic
was opened in Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal, and a site for a clinic found in Soweto. Four nurses, one for each of
the pilot clinics, will be trained as donor educators and counselors. They will have appropriate
information/education packs with suitable materials that have been developed in FY 2007. The material will
be evaluated and refined in FY 2008 and incorporate AB and prevention messages that will support the
prospective donor interview, education and selection process. Prospective donors will be issued with
education materials and encouraged to spread these messages to their family, friends and peers, thereby
making the blood donors ambassadors of the program. Ten thousand new donors will be exposed to these
educational and selection programs and the extension of the program to the family and friends of the donors
will have a significant impact on HIV prevention in the community at large. The donor education and
recruitment program is strengthened by the one-on-one interview that is part of the donor selection and self-
exclusion procedure. This ensures that prospective donors fully understand the impact of the AB component
of blood safety. The message is reinforced because this interview is repeated at every donation. Another
facet of the program is the one-on-one interview that is part of the follow-up strategy for HIV-infected
prospective donors. This program is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the educational program and is
used for counseling HIV-infected people and referring them to an appropriate counseling and treatment
center. This program, which will be piloted at the four new clinics, will in FY 2008 and FY 2009, be
institutionalized in all the clinics across SANBS and the Western Province Blood Transfusion Service.
