Benjamin Kasdan, Acting PEPFAR Ethiopia Country CoordinatorSeptember 14, 2023This month, PEPFAR is hosting a global “sustainability summit” with delegates from all PEPFAR countries. This summit will kickstart a year-long process with the goal of a “sustainability roadmap” in time for World AIDS Day 2024. Through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the United States government has made a monumental investment of over $100 billion in the global response to HIV/AIDS. Additionally, PEPFAR has provided support for the construction and renovation of 22 health centers, which are critical to effectively respond to emergency public health threats. Our goal is to enhance the country’s ability to continue an effective HIV/AIDS response, address public health emergencies, and provide high-quality healthcare services to everyone who needs it.
