The U.S. Presidential Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)

In 2003, President Bush announced the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a 5-yr, $15 billion initiative to combat AIDS around the world. The program, set to expire at the end of this year, has been heralded as one of the most successful foreign aid programs due to its targeted focus on:

o Treating those sick and dying of AIDS,

o Preventing new HIV infections, and

o Guaranteeing measurable results and standards.
