On Tuesday, April 30, The Kaiser Family Foundation and the CSIS Global Health Policy Center held an event titled The Policy Implications of the Institute of Medicine’s Evaluation of PEPFAR.

The Institute of Medicine’s recently completed Evaluation of PEPFAR assesses the program’s performance over the past decade, as it transitioned from an emergency response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic to an emphasis on strengthening health systems in focal countries. The Evaluation of PEPFAR was a four-year, congressionally mandated review of PEPFAR; it is only the second major review of the program.  For this occasion, representatives convened from the U.S. administration, evaluation participants, and independent experts to discuss the review’s implications for PEPFAR’s policy priorities in the second Obama term.
