On Jan. 28, the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, celebrated its anniversary — marking its 20th year of working toward the eradication of HIV/AIDS.
According to its data portal, PEPFAR’s total expenditures have been steadily increasing in the past years, breaching $4 billion in 2018. However, this slightly dipped to $3.8 billion at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Its spending remained at $4.1 billion in the past two years.
