With that strategy reaching its conclusion at the end of 2020, PEPFAR is pleased to continue partnering across sectors in development of the next PEPFAR Strategy, with a vision for 2025. Building on the critical inputs received from a diversity of stakeholders through a broad-based survey administered in the fall of 2020 and the release of Guiding Principles for the Next Phase of PEPFAR on World AIDS Day 2020 – PEPFAR is holding a series of Virtual Listening Sessions from August 9-16, 2021, to further inform development of the next PEPFAR Strategy: Vision 2025.
