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 American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) has been awarded Track 1 continuing application funding through the Presidential Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief to provide technical assistance to the Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar Ministries of Health for their respective National Blood Transfusion Services (NBTS) for purposes of rapidly strengthening the blood supply in Tanzania.
AABB began providing technical assistance to the Tanzania MOHSW in March 2006. An initial familiarization visit was conducted in May 2006. The primary purpose of this visit was or establishing contacts with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials and become familiar with the ongoing blood safety activities. The site visits included the Lake Zone Blood Transfusion Service (BTS) in Mwanza, Northern Zone BTS in Moshi, Eastern Zone BTS in Dar es Saalam, Zanzibar Zone BTS, Muhimbili National Hospital, Bugando Medical Center (BMC), and Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC). The MOHSW is creating a completely new program in Tanzania and Zanzibar. Prior to the formation of the NBTS, blood collection and related activities were hospital-based with replacement onation from relatives and friends accounting for over 90% of the blood cpllected. The primary objective in forming the NBTS was therefore to create a more centralized and coordinated system of blood banks to focus on collecting, processing, and distributing safe blood throughout Tanzania and Zanzibar from voluntary non renumerated blood donors. AABB found significant progress already been achieved with regard to renovation of facilities. Four Zonal Centers had been completed and staffed. In FY 2006 AABB provided technical assistance in the development of the National Blood Transfusion Service Policy Guidelines, the Guidelines on the Clinical Use of Blood and Blood Products, the Specific Blood Transfusion Practice Guidelines and theBlood Donor Recruitment and Retention Guidelines. Assistance has been provided for the development of SOPs, policy documents, and training materials. In FY 2006 two training sessions were conducted in Tanzania and Zanzibar on Donor Services with a total of 53 staff members trained.
For the management of the NBTS, In FY 2007, AABB will continue to provide technical assistance to the MOHSW/ NBTS in their efforts to establish a legal framework and appropriate blood policy legislation / regulation / policy. The MOHSW has also advocated for the establishment of a national blood transfusion program advisory board. AABB will also provide the necessary technical assistance in reaching this goal. AABB will assist NBTS with the definition, improvement and implementation of a management structure for the NBTS, and provide appropriate management training for key NBTS personnel.
