I. SCOPE OF WORK

Introduction and Background:

On July 30, 2008, H.R. 5501, the Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde United States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008 was signed into law, authorizing up to $48 billion over the next 5 years to combat global HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. This global epidemic requires a comprehensive, multi-sectoral approach that expands access to prevention, care and treatment. As this second phase of PEPFAR works to build upon its successes, it will focus on transitioning from an emergency response to promoting sustainable country programs.
