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.

The Minstry of Health (MOH) is the governmental body responsible for blood safety in Angola. Within the MOH, the National Blood Center (NBC) is responsible for developing national policies and guidelines for the delivery and implementation of blood safety interventions. The NBC is the only official national safe blood service provider of the Government of the Republic of Angola (GRA). Supporting the NBC is consistent with the Millennium Development Goals and the national mandate to strengthen the central system for sustainable practices in blood safety.
The MOH/NBC is currently working with the USG, the GFATM the private sector, and Safe Blood for Africa to train blood service staff at the provincial level as well as medical personnel in the proper use of blood products, how to mobilize voluntary non remunerated blood donation (VNRBD), the strengthening of information systems, and exploring commitments for site renovations. With this collaboration in place, the MOH/NBC is positioned to use these funds to expand efforts to ensure an adequate supply of safe blood for transfusion from VNRBDs.
The USG with the GRA will also develop and implement a project-specific monitoring and evaluation plan by drawing on national and USG requirements and tools, including strategic-information guidance provided by the Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and WHO. Furthermore, the USG will support development and implementation of a sustainability plan that includes advocacy with the GRA for increased commitment to national blood safety efforts. This is a continuation activity. FY 2011 will be:
1. Increase the number of VNRBD
2. Support the provinces
3. Most technical assistance will be provided through the CDC central mechanism with HOP funding.
In fiscal year 2010 funds were obligated for capacity building and infrastructure development of the National Blood Center (NBC) national screening strategy for all donated blood and blood products, using the most appropriate and effective tests, and adhering to good laboratory practices. The NBC will continue to implement the following activities during fiscal year 2012 and 2013: Develop a national blood safety infrastructure plan to ensure coverage for the collection, transport, storage and distribution of blood that meets the national needs;
Conduct supervisory trainings at the provincial level using the train the trainer model;
Support situational analysis of selected provincial blood services;
Provide technical assistance at the provincial and municipal level focused on bloods collections, testing, and production of blood products, transfusions methods and utilization.
Develop site-specific protocol for collecting , handling and storing, transporting, and distributing blood from fixed mobile blood collections facilities;
Expand the volunteer blood donor base through improved donor mobilization, recruitment, and communication strategies;
Implement and maintain the information management system;
Assess and review the infrastructure, technical capacity, and existing or potential community networks that could support VNRBD;
Conduct trainings to promote and increase the number of VNRBD;
Conduct trainings on the principles of Quality Management Systems, in specific areas of blood safety, including monitoring & evaluation;
Support infrastructure and human capacity development at Blood Centers within the provinces;
Conduct strategic planning for the sustainability of blood safety services; and
Strengthen and sustain a donor notification program to increase the proportion of blood donors with HIV-reactive results referred to appropriate counseling, confirmatory testing, care and/or treatment.
