Since its inception in 2003, the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief has invested over $85 billion to address HIV and AIDS. Devex dug into amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research’s database of PEPFAR country and regional operational plans, to identify top partners and explore their focus areas, main projects, and geographical footprint.
From the data available — which spans the last 16 fiscal years — we found that some of PEPFAR’s top partners are also top U.S Agency for International Development partners. Seven of the top 10 are among the 25 organizations that received half of USAID spending between fiscal year 2015 and 2019.
From fiscal year 2005, PEPFAR allocated $55.75 billion across six program areas — care, governance and systems, management and operations, prevention, testing, and treatment. Of this, 91.4% was directed toward Africa, with treatment accounting for 36.9% of the total funding.
