Webinar: Lessons learned from PEPFAR COP data

The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief has been heralded as the largest and most impactful initiative undertaken in the fight against the global HIVS/AIDS epidemic, allocating $3.9 billion across 50 countries since the start of fiscal year 2019. But in the face of major challenges — including threats to slash funding, a call for rapid localization, and limited number of priority countries —  PEPFAR is embarking on a new trajectory.

In anticipation of the release of PEPFAR’s 2019 Country Operational Plans, Devex Senior Development Analyst Maja Wisenberger spoke with experts on the global HIV/AIDS response about how to harness COP data for more effective implementation, what implications to expect from the localization agenda, and what changes PEPFAR can make to the M&E process — and to its policies — to better enable the work of its implementers in the field.
