Program
Health and HIV/AIDS
A Healthier Population in the East Africa Region Achieved through African Leadership
Overview
Countries in sub-Saharan Africa are among the poorest in the world, with extremely high rates of infant, child and maternal mortality. Malaria and TB are rampant killers. Many women in the region bear up to six children and few have access to family planning services. Over 6 million adults and 600,000 children in the region are living with HIV/AIDS and millions of children have become orphans due to HIV/ AIDS. The severity of health threats, the inadequacies of overburdened public health care systems and the inability of struggling economies to cope with the burden make it difficult for governments in the region to deal with the challenges.

Remarks On Closing of the East, Central and Southern Africa Regional Gender-based Violence Strategy Consultation
Remarks by USAID/Zambia Mission Director James Bednar
It is an honor for me to be with you today. This gathering is truly historic in both its subject and in its scope. The alliance of UNICEF, UNFPA, UNIFEM and USAID to address the ever-widening expanse of gender-based violence is not only appropriate, but perhaps, long over due. For while documentation of gender-based violence is not new, the tangled web of psychological and socio-cultural factors that underlies this violence is deeply ingrained in the cultural context of Africa and indeed, much of the world
