Democratic Republic of Congo
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) supports local nongovernmental organizations through a variety of larger U.S.-based nongovernmental organizations. USAID also works closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Bank, as well as key United Nations agencies, and is an active participant in the country coordinating mechanism, which is responsible for the development of proposals to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
USAID allocated $3.5 million to HIV/AIDS prevention and care activities in DR Congo in 2002, and spending is expected to total $4 million in 2003. Concurrent with an anticipated increase in resources, USAID will step up its HIV/AIDS prevention and surveillance activities during the next five years. The Mission will focus on enhancing care and community support activities, increasing political and social commitment to HIV/AIDS, and reducing the stigma of persons living with the disease.
