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.
Years of mechanism: 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
Goal and objective:
The goal of this new mechanism is to make funds available to a national or international organization to provide technical assistance (TA) to build NBTS' capacity in blood mobilization and recruitment and retention of eligible blood donors to increase the safe donor pool to sufficient levels to meet national transfusion targets. The TA will include blood mobilization as well as formation of blood donor clubs at schools and training institutions. As results, the TA will develop effective collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, the Ministry of Education and Higher Learning and other education institutions.
One of the challenges for NBTS services in the past years has been to develop effective IEC material to attract different categories of blood donors to donate blood voluntarily and regularly. Currently, NBTS is managing to elicit minimum support from different cooperates, NGOs and public and private institutions towards blood donation activities. Blood donors need to be recognized and appreciated, and. current strategies toward this end are weak. These funds will assist the TA provider to work with blood transfusion programs to develop and produce more effective IEC materials and develop and strengthen incentive and recruitment strategies that keep blood donors in different settings motivated.
The partner will contribute directly to the safe units of blood collected by NBTS through directly mobilizing donation drives for NBTS. These will serve as examples of effective mobilization as well train NBTS staff on mobilization. Working in collaboration with NBTS recruitment and counseling teams, the TA will arrange post test result notification to blood donors thus contributing to improved blood test results notification.
The partner will work in different NBTS zonal centers as agreed by NBTS. The goal will be to ensure availability of safe blood especially in the hard to reach regions and districts. Since NBTS has also been experiencing challenges in procurement of blood safety equipment and supplies, some of the NBTS PF procurement funds will be directed through this partner to facilitate faster procurement processes.
The expected outcomeis the achievement of acceptable national safe blood coverage and equitable distribution of safe blood to transfusion services, thus contributing to prevention of the transmission of HIV and other transmissible transfusion infections (TTIs) through blood.
Contribution to health systems strengthening:
The funds support the strengthening of NBTS blood mobilization capacity through training and direct mentorships, assist in the establishment of blood donor clubs, as wells as improve NBTS skills in IEC development, production and use annexing cooperates and NGOS to support for blood safety activities. The other contribution to the health system strengthening is through availability of safe adequate blood coverage. The partner will be used to procure equipment that support blood processes at different levels which includes hard to reach regions and districts.
Crosscutting program
The availability of safe and adequate blood and the procurement of safe blood equipment to service blood centers as well as regional and district transfusion services, cross cut to all programs. Maternal and child health, care and treatment and other medical and surgical services are strengthened through the availability of safe blood.
IM strategies to become more cost efficient over time:
More cost efficient strategies to develop a pool of low risk VNRBD and establishment of blood donor clubs. Development of strategies for engaging adult donors to leverage public-private partnership with workplace institutions, non government organizations, and cooperates to offset decline in blood during the school holidays and after graduation also brokerage of public private partnerships that yield institutional commitments to support donor motivation and recognition initiatives.
Geographic coverage & target population
This activity will occur nationwide.
Linkages with the PF funds:
The funds will be used to implement the PF goal of preventing new HIV infection through unsafe blood by developing a sufficient pool of low-risk donors.
M&E plans:
M&E will be through supportive visits, quarterly and semi annual reports, also by measurable program outcomes related to the quality and quantity of blood collected. Other monitoring indicators will be as specified in the notice of award and set targets.
New partner to support NBTS blood mobilization and donor club formation and procurement. This is to supplement GOT sytems so as to increase blood supply and national coverage. The partner is also reponsible for building NBTS mobilization capacity. Partner will support both mainland and Zanzibar national blood programs. Production of IEC for mobilizatiobn and recruitment, procure equipment for NBTS to improve blood mobilization and processing , stenghen districts and regions on rational use of blood& blood products, transfusion committee (national wide coverage).
