The success of PEPFAR is firmly rooted in a commitment to results. Through partnerships between the American people and the people of the countries in which we are privileged to serve - governments, non-governmental organizations including faith-based organizations and community-based organizations, and the private sector - we are building sustainable systems and empowering individuals, communities, and nations to battle HIV/AIDS.
Together, we have acted quickly. We have already obligated 92 percent of the funds initially appropriated to PEPFAR and have expended or outlayed 68 percent of those resources.
But success is not best measured in dollars spent. PEPFAR's success is measured in services provided and lives saved.
