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 activity relates to Uganda Blood Transfusion Services (UBTS) activities in Blood Safety, Counseling
and Testing, and Regional Procurement Support Office's activities in Blood Safety.
Sanquin Consulting Services(SCS) was founded in 2001 as an autonomous part of the Sanquin Blood
Supply Foundation, Netherlands, with the goal of providing technical assistance on safe and sustainable
blood supply systems in resource limited countries including Uganda.
For the last three years, in collaboration with UBTS, the Sanquin team has provided clinical interface
courses to health providers involved in medical transfusion services and assisted in quality
assurance/quality control system strengthening within the regional blood banks and in blood collection
procedures. Their assistance has led to marked increase of both quantity and quality of blood collected by
the national program. Their involvement has also led to increased professional awareness of donor care,
counseling and collection procedures by the health workers, of which more is to be done over the next year.
Their main focus for FY08 will be on improving data collection and database management to contribute to
an increase of repeat donors and further reduction in their HIV prevalence. Other areas of emphasis will
include quality assurance and further development of processes and standards, monitoring & evaluation to
ensure effectiveness and efficiency, and the continuation of the program for the clinical interface of blood
transfusion.
