Administrator Samantha Power will join a conversation on the future of PEPFAR during the 52nd Annual Legislative Conference hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. Administrator Power will participate in a panel conversation with Ambassador Dr. John Nkengasong, Ambassador-at-Large, U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, and Senior Bureau Official for Global Health Security and Diplomacy and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), who co-authored the legislation that created PEPFAR, moderated by Washington Post Associate Editor and MSNBC anchor Jonathan Capehart. The panel will also include Melanie Egorin, Assistant Secretary of Legislation, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and Kenny Kamson, ONE Campaign Activist.
For 20 years, PEPFAR has been one of our nation’s most profound and transformational investments. PEPFAR has saved more than 25 million lives, and 5.5 million babies have been born HIV-free as a result of the critical work funded by the program.
