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 ZNBTS (#9049).
Sanguin has provided useful technical assistance, supervisory quality support, and residential training for the Zambia National Blood Transfusion Service (ZNBTS) since the inception of PEPFAR in Zambia. Sanguin will continue to support areas that enable the ZNBTS strategy which includes improved quality assurance, development of blood products, donor recruitment, donor retention, and expanded laboratory capacity.
Lead experts from Sanguin provide routine support through supervisory visits to Zambia to assist in troubleshooting and continued advice on scale-up and program expansion. Support comes in the form of workshops and on-the-job training. An additional feature is to bring ZNBTS staff to the Sanguin headquarters in the Netherlands for on-site residential training. There, staff gain practical experience in quality assurance, management, donor services, laboratory supervision, and quality systems for blood transfusion services. These activities will be continued in 2007.
In 2007, Sanguin will design and launch a Master's degree program in blood safety with a university to be identified in the Netherlands. The program will combine e-learning and on-site practical residencies. Theory and basic information on blood safety will be provided via distance learning formats. Students will then be required to spend a period of 4-6 months in the Netherlands working with Sanguin to develop practical donor services and laboratory skills.
By providing assistance to the ZNBTS in these key areas, which includes human capacity strengthening, Sanguin will continue to significantly contribute to the overall sustainability of the national blood service programs.
