USA PEPFAR to help Swaziland fight HIV, AIDS
USA Ambassador to Swaziland Earl Irving has promised that his country’s government will fully support Swaziland in fighting the HIV and AIDS pandemic.
He said this would be through the president’s emergency plan for AIDS relief commonly known as PEPFAR.
Irving was speaking during the Swaziland Business Coalition on HIV and AIDS world commemoration at the Royal Swazi Sun at Ezulwini on Tuesday night.
According to SBIS news Irving said PEPFAR was funded in full by the American people with the mandate to fight the pandemic and build the capacity of corporate partners, governments as well as civil society to carry out all aspects of national HIV and AIDS response.
“It is shocking that Swaziland has the most severe national HIV and AIDS crisis in the world with 26 % of the population aged 15 to 49 being positive,” said Irving.
He said PEPFAR has increased its 2009 to 2010 budget to Swaziland to $30million as it was $14million in 2008.
“This money will be specially allocated to support efforts to reduce the effects of HIV and AIDS and build the health infrastructure of Swaziland.”
