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: 2014 2015 2016
NOTE: The following is taken from summaries released by PEPFAR on the PEPFAR Data Dashboard. They are incomplete summary paragraphs only and do not contain the full mechanism details. When the full narratives are released, we will update the mechanism pages accordingly.
The MOHSW houses the National Blood Transfusion Services (NBTS). NBTS is responsible for coordinating blood donation, testing, results notification and referrals, and staff recruitment and retention in support of transfusion services on behalf of the country. The primary goal of the NBTS mechanism is to strengthen and sustain a centrally coordinated transfusion service in order to provide adequate, accessible and safe blood for transfusion in Tanzania. NBTS will coordinate and manage 6 zonal centers (eastern, northern, lake, southern, southern highland, and western) and satellite sites to improve blood safety in facilities throughout the country.
NBTS will focus on blood collection, advocacy, mobilization, IEC material production, formation of blood donor clubs, and partnerships to increase the pool of safe repeating blood donors. NBTS will also provide blood donor counseling and testing for transfusion transmissible infections, implement haemovigilence activities for donor to recipient tracing of blood and blood products. NBTS will strengthen the quality of data and blood through use of the Blood Computer Establishment System (BECS) installed in all 6 zones to ensure overall comprehensive blood data. Working with technical assistance providers, MOHSW will enhance program management, leadership, and finance systems and continue implementing the roadmap to attain accreditation to Africa Society for Blood Transfusion Standards. NBTS will continue strengthening partnerships that may link and/or fund efforts to develop a sustainable blood safety program to progressively reduce relying on PEPFAR funding. NBTS activities are not measured with FY 2013 EA DSP UEs; however, expenditures reported were in line with programmatic priorities and approved budgets.
Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.
This mechanism has no published performance targets or indicators.
