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 IS A NEW ACTIVITY.
TITLE: Blood computer Software for National Blood Transfusion Service
NEED and COMPERATIVE ADVANTAGE
The goal of the Ministry of Health National Blood Safety Program (NBTS) since its inception is to ensure
safety in all blood processes. Safety in blood processes is multi- linked, starting from selection of donors
ending with the utilization of the blood (from the vein of the donor to the vein of the recipient).
A number of activities have been undertaken to develop quality systems since 2005 up to 2008. Other
activities were not only to ensure quality but also efficiency and effectiveness. From 2005 to 2007 the main
focus was to have functional infrastructure to collect, process and release safe blood to facilities from zonal
centers. With FY08 funds, efficiency, effectiveness and safety has been enhanced through changing the
testing of blood from manual to automated systems. NBTS procured automated systems and centralized
testing for transfusion transmissible infections (TTI), blood group, PDAs, and continued development on the
data base. These systems are expected to be fully operational by June 2009.
With the increase in blood collection and component production, there is need to ensure the vein to vein
safety for blood processing. This requires a mechanism for tracing units of blood from collection through
transportation, laboratory testing, component production, storage and distributions processes, until
transfusion or discard. This computer system will also have the ability to link units of blood between donors
and recipients. Recognizing the complexity of the processes, the time needed to perform this manually, the
possible sources of error compounded by the inadequate numbers of technical personnel, it is necessary to
procure and install a blood transfusion computer system for the NBTS. The blood computer system will not
only support safety but also documentation and accountability.
In FY09 a prime partner with expertise and experience in blood computer systems will be selected through
a consultative process between NBTS, CDC and AABB, to assist NBTS to select, procure and install a
blood computer software.
LINKAGES:
The system selected should be able to interface with automated blood systems procured in FY 08, PDAs,
and SMS Phones for Health massaging, and the currently installed laboratory software to facilitate
management and operations of the blood transfusion services, easier data collection, transfer, analysis
reporting and information sharing.
M&E:
Continued development in data base and M&E will be required and the system must be able to generate
reports for the required critical indicators of safety and quality.
SUSTAINAIBLITY:
TA provider for the system should be available in country for easy trouble shooting and repair.
