- Description
- South Africa bears the largest burden of HIV in the world, with estimated 7 million individuals infected and more than 450,000 cases of active tuberculosis (TB). In light of this, USAID/Southern Africa has one of the largest health portfolios in sub-Saharan Africa, with the vast majority of funding from the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The PEPFAR budget constitutes over 90% of USAID/Southern Africa’s bilateral portfolio. The Mission health staff of over 45 individuals manages a complex program supporting over 50 prime partner organizations, most of them indigenous. Over 50% of USAID/Southern Africa’s health budget is allocated for comprehensive care and treatment of HIV. Supporting Government of South Africa’s (GoSA) HIV and TB comprehensive care and treatment services is a priority of the USG and USAID mission in South Africa. The program has successfully met ambitious goals to support the initiation of individuals on antiretroviral treatment, and has provided technical assistance for health systems strengthening to the Government of South Africa. The focus of the program going forward will be to achieve epidemic control within the PEPFAR HIV and TB care and treatment program and to ensure high quality provision of clinical HIV care and treatment services through the South African government at both the facility and community level.
