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: 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
The over goal of the national blood transfusion program is to meet the urgent national need of 40,000 units/year within the next three years, and the long term goal of achieving the 90,000 units of blood a year per WHO standards. The devastating earthquake on January 12, 2010 had enormous impact on the blood service system. The main blood transfusion center was destroyed. These services are now being provided in scattered temporary structures with limited capacity. However despite delay in establishing a temporary center, nearly 20,000 units of blood were collected and tested during FY 2011. For FY 2012, rebuilding the blood transfusion system in Haiti will be the priority. The national blood transfusion center (NBSP) will continue its collaboration with Haitian Red Cross and international Federation of Red Cross to finalize the establishment of a temporary national blood transfusion center. By so doing, the testing capacity of the transfusion system will significantly increase, while the NBSP progresses with the construction of a permanent center. 2012 is considered the true recovery period after the earthquake disaster of January 12, 2010.
Global Fund / Programmatic Engagement Questions
1. Is the Prime Partner of this mechanism also a Global Fund principal or sub-recipient, and/or does this mechanism support Global Fund grant implementation? No
For the FY2012 COP, the priority for the National Blood Safety Program (NBSP) will be to increase its capacity to collect, test, store, and distribute blood and blood products. The NBSP will collect at least 25,000 units. To achieve such an objective, the NBSP will reinforce its organizational structure; develop/revise standard operation procedures (SOP); and updating protocols based on the results of an assessment conducted last year.The NBSP will also improve the infrastructure of the Blood transfusion system. Two blood posts will be rehabilitated and equipped to become regional transfusion centers. Ten new blood depots will be equipped to ensure geographical access to blood and blood products.A strong emphasis will be put on blood donors promotion activities to reach the objective of more than 80% donated blood coming from non remunerated voluntary donors and increase the pool of regular donor (donating twice a year). The NBSP plans to implement two strategies, the blood donor cluster and the Club 25, to promote blood donation and favor donor retention. Mass media campaign using radio and TV ads and other promotional materials (t-shirts, flyers, etc&) will be used to encourage blood donation. A network of mobile collection teams will be established to increase the collection capacity of the system.The NBSP will strengthen its screening capacity. The lab of the blood transfusion center will be equipped with automate to speed the screening process for TTI agents: HIV, Hepatitis B and C, Syphilis, HTLV I and II. We will add P24 antigenemia test to decrease HIV transmission risk. 100 % of collected blood units will be screened. Irregular antibodies screening will be implemented in immunology testing. Quality control will be realized by reviewing 20 % of negative samples and all positive samples. Confirmatory testing will be done.During FY 2012, The NBSP will reinforce the transfusion information system to support a monitoring and reporting system. This system will give the possibility to track each blood unit from donor to receiver.Training on Haemovigilence, blood utilization, promotion on voluntary blood donation, lab testing, management, IT information, and Quality management system will conducted to ensure safety in addition to efficient and rational use of blood and blood products.
