Partnership Frameworks

On July 30, 2008, 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 from 2009 to 2013 to combat global HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. This law authorized the U.S. Government, through the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), to establish Partnership Frameworks with host countries to promote a more sustainable approach to combating HIV/AIDS, characterized by strengthened country capacity, ownership, and leadership.

Partnership Frameworks provide a 5-year joint strategic framework for cooperation between the U.S. Government, the partner government, and other partners to combat HIV/AIDS in the host country through service delivery, policy reform, and coordinated financial commitments.
