Uganda
Reauthorized on July 30, 2008, the U.S. is continuing its commitment to global AIDS in the amount of $39 billion for HIV/AIDS bilateral programs and contributions to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Working in partnership with host nations, the initiative will support antiretroviral treatment for at least 3 million people, prevention of 12 million new HIV infections, and care and support for 12 million people, including 5 million orphans and vulnerable children. Uganda is one of PEPFAR’s 15 focus countries, which collectively represent approximately 50 percent of HIV infections worldwide. Under PEPFAR, Uganda received nearly $90.8 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2004, more than $148.4 million in FY 2005, approximately $169.9 million in FY 2006, and $236.6 million in FY 2007 to support a comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment program. PEPFAR is providing $283.6 million in FY 2008.
