Ambitious goals call for bold action. Ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030 is one of the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (ow.ly/YBOse), and for good reason: AIDS is now the leading cause of death among adolescents (ages 10-19) in Africa and the second most common cause of death among adolescents globally. PEPFAR is rising to the challenge thanks to the bold targets set by President Obama last September at the U.N. General Assembly (ow.ly/YBONp). By 2017, working jointly with partner countries; the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; and the private sector (#SDG17), PEPFAR will • support 12.9 million people on life-saving anti-retroviral treatment – nearly doubling the number of people on treatment from 2013 to 2017 #SDG3 • provide 13 million male circumcisions for HIV prevention #SDG3 • reduce HIV incidence by 40 percent among adolescent girls and young women within the highest-burdened areas of 10 sub-Saharan African countries #SDG3 #SDG5

PEPFAR leverages the power of partnerships, working closely with foreign governments, the private sector, philanthropic organizations, multilateral institutions, civil society and faith-based organizations, and people living with HIV, as we accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goal target of ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 and promote the long-term sustainability of the HIV/AIDS response.

PEPFAR seeks to strengthen partner country policy envi...ronments for HIV/AIDS service delivery and increase partner government financial contributions to their own HIV/AIDS responses. Working with multilateral partners, PEPFAR optimizes investments, strengthens country leadership and sustainability, and enhances service delivery. We are renewing our engagement with faith-based leaders and organizations as well as the private sector to accelerate and improve efforts toward epidemic control. And we are empowering and equipping civil society and communities, investing in their leadership and capacity to increase access to quality HIV services.

PEPFAR is widely viewed as one of the most effective and efficient foreign assistance programs in history. By focusing resources where the HIV burden is the greatest and the most impact could be achieved, PEPFAR has delivered remarkable results in just 15 years without increasing financial resources year over year. The program demonstrates the impact of foreign assistance when we focus on the mission with transparency and demand greater effectiveness and efficiency.

PEPFAR’s ...lifesaving results speak for themselves:
• 14 million men, women, and children on lifesaving HIV treatment, ensuring the health and welfare of the family
• 2.2 million babies born HIV-free to HIV-positive mothers, many of whom have remained HIV-free into adolescence through the comprehensive DREAMS prevention programming
• 6.4 million orphans, vulnerable children, and their caregivers thriving
• 15.2 million men and boys to receive voluntary medical male circumcision and remain HIV-negative
