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.
NBTS blood computer information System
The major goal for this funding is to continue supporting the implementation of the blood computer information system whose actual implantation started in 2009 in Eastern zone, to cover all blood zones in the mainland and Zanzibar.
The major objective is to support the quality system by ensuring accurate donor information from vein to vein through generation of a unique donor identification number to every blood donor.
The system will enable NBTS to identify and trace blood donors across several donations and across several years. Also the unit of blood to be traced across the number of products manufactured from that units, and trace this to place of issue (facilities) and the recipient (s) of blood and blood products from that unit. Moreover the system will help NBTS reinforce blood safety by making it possible to link information of blood units which are unsafe (found reactive for one or several blood transfusion transmissible infections (TTIs) thus rendering the donor unsafe and hence deferral.
Through this mechanism, NBTS will be able to trace blood donors nationally across all zones. This will assist the NBTS to establish the safe blood donor pool for easy recall for repeat blood donation especially in emergences and when NBTS is low in blood units. Currently this is not possible.
The system will also make it possible for NBTS to communicate with blood donors through e. mail, phone massages or letter by linkages of information with other computer and telephone technology such as Phones for Health to deliver educational as well as motivational massages. The system will allow blood facilities which have internet connectivity to document and share with NBTS information on received blood units and those of the blood recipient thus completing the circle of vein to vein and leading to proper haemovigelence.
The blood computer information system will contribute greatly to system strengthening through the development of safe blood donor pool who are voluntary, reaping and non remunerated. This will contribute a lot toward attaining sustainable blood collections.
The system cut across donor processes from recruitment to issuing within NBTS and outside NBTS in recipient facilities. Also it cuts across other programs such as Phones for health.
Currently about 10 to 12% of blood units collected by NBTS zones is discarded mainly due to reactivity for one or more TTIs. The establishment of a safe blood donor pool who are motivated to repeating blood donation and living a low risk life style in relation to TTIs, will lead to a reduction of discard rate. This will decrease the resource wasted through discarded blood (blood bags, test kits etc).
The PF, funds will be used to procure equipment needed for functionality of the computer system.
The blood computer information system will lead to quality system
System strengthening especially those related to safety of blood and blood products and good manufacturing process. This system will help NBtS to monitor blood donor processes once implemented. Its implementation will be monitored through the number of zones linked to this system according to contractual agreements .
The funds will continue to support the overall implementation of the blood computer information system stared in 2009. The computer system will be implemented in all blood transfusion zones mainland and Zanzibar.
