PEPFAR has received continuous, strong support from two administrations and bipartisan support from Congress. Funding for PEPFAR grew from $2.3 billion in FY 2004 to $6.8 billion in FY 2010. The purpose of this review was to determine how U.S. embassies are fulfilling their responsibilities to coordinate, direct, and support PEPFAR.
