PEPFAR Funding Survey Shows Negative Impact on HIV Services


According to a survey of PEPFAR (the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) funding recipients conducted by amfAR and other advocacy groups, the recently ordered foreign aid funding pause is already having devastating effects on the global HIV response by interrupting treatment, prevention, and care. The survey asked 153 eligible PEPFAR funding recipients from 27 countries about the impact of the stop work order on service delivery, staffing, and the ability to continue operations during the funding freeze.

Some of the findings include:

  • 86% reported that their clients would lose access to HIV treatment services within the next month unless the freeze is lifted;
  • more than 60% reported that their organizations had already laid off staff; and
  • 36% said that their organizations had already completed closed down.

For more about the survey findings, read the article and infographic.
