Strengthening the Capacity of the Republican Blood Center to Scale Up Blood Safety Program in Tajikistan (TJ) under the President' Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR): The overarching purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) in Central Asia- Tajikistan is to fund activities intended to enhance the capacity of RBC to scale up and improve the quality of the blood safety program within all the areas of Tajikistan and to improve access of the general population to safe, high quality blood components.

The CDC program goal relevant to this FOA in Tajikistan is to strengthen the capacity of the RBC staff to expand access to safe, high quality blood products. Through this FOA, the RBC will participate in a project to:
• Develop and implement an effective program for development of the VNRB system;
• Rationalize clinical use of blood components;
• Improve the quality management system via implementation of an M&E tool for indicators of blood services performance and automation of the work processes in the chain from vein-to vein; and
• Improve the cold chain within the entire national blood service.

Additional Information on Eligibility: The RBC is the only organization of the Republic of Tajikistan that has the mandate from the Government of Tajikistan to implement and coordinate the blood safety system through the Ministry of Health (MOH). From 2010-2015 the RBC has managed the CDC Cooperative Agreement promoting blood safety in the country.

The ongoing collaboration with the RBC has thus far been successful. Several activities were completed within this project during these four years, including in the following areas: promotion of Voluntary-Non Remunerated Blood Donorship (VNRBD); strategic information (SI); automation of work processes in the blood centers; and improvement of clinical use of blood. It is necessary to continue to provide technical assistance (TA) with the new project in order to scale up promotion of VNRBD activities at the national level. During the ongoing CoAg, a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) tool was developed for indicators of blood services and was piloted on the National level.
