West Africa Regional Program

Based on 2005 data, close to 6 million people in countries supported by USAID in West Africa are living with HIV/AIDS. USAID’s HIV/AIDS programs in West Africa are implemented in partnership with U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the largest commitment ever by any nation to an international health initiative dedicated to a single disease. In West Africa, USAID-supported Emergency Plan initiatives are carried out in two priority countries: Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria. In addition, HIV/AIDS programs are also implemented in many other countries, including Benin, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, and Senegal.
