Description

Since 2003 the Presidentäó»s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has supported significant advances in HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care in over 30 countries, including directly supporting treatment for about 5.1 million people; however, millions more people still need treatment. Congress reauthorized PEPFAR in 2008 for up to $48 billion over 5 years, directing the Dept. of Stateäó»s Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) to continue expanding the number of people receiving care and treatment through PEPFAR while also making it a major policy goal to help partner countries develop independent, sustainable HIV programs. As a result, PEPFAR began shifting efforts from toward support for treatment programs managed by partner countries. A series of reports between 2011 and 2013 covered PEPFAR treatment program costs, results, and supply chains for antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, and PEPFAR program evaluations and planning and reporting. This report summarizes the key themes of these reports. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
