Malawi
In FY 2001, USAID provided $7.2 million in HIV/AIDS assistance
to Malawi, up from $6 million the previous year. USAID is
an active member of the Government of Malawi and UNAIDS-led
Technical Working Group on HIV/AIDS.
One of the more successful USAID-supported
initiatives in Malawi has been implemented through the Malawi
AIDS Counseling and Resource Centre to promote voluntary
HIV counseling and testing services. The number of clients
tested for HIV jumped from 5,663 in 1999 to more than 40,000
in 2001, with 99 percent receiving results. Macro International
Inc., with the assistance of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, introduced a new rapid HIV test in Malawi
in January 2000; high client satisfaction has been reported.
