US Resumes AIDS Funding to South Africa Amidst Political Turmoil
President Trump’s Executive Order on South Africa does not halt PEPFAR; a limited waiver allows the resumption of certain activities. This waiver covers life-saving HIV care, prevention of mother-to-child transmission, and essential administrative costs. PEPFAR implementing agencies are currently reviewing which programs fall under this waiver and preparing to resume operations accordingly. The National Department of Health and local partners have been informed of these developments.
