Sustainable HIV Epidemic Control

The global response to the HIV pandemic has been unprecedented. Billions of dollars and millions of people were quickly mobilized to save lives and fight the pandemic. The gains have been tremendous. If country governments, donors, and civil society work in partnership, and continue to ensure every investment has a clear outcome, it is within our grasp to control the epidemic. Yet, this potential success is at risk if we do not take decisive actions to ensure the HIV response is sustainable. A series of concrete actions are available that will have rapid impact and accelerate our progress towards long-term sustainability.

In 2015, PEPFAR took dramatic new steps to hardwire sustainability into its business processes, developing strategic approaches to move the sustainability agenda forward, and measure progress. This paper sets forth PEPFAR’s tactics to sustainably build national HIV responses and practices that monitor progress toward sustainable epidemic control and achievement of the global 90-90-90 goal.
