Now, PEPFAR is heading
into what may be its most
challenging, but exciting,
phase yet—Phase III
focusing on Sustainable
Control of the Epidemic...
We can best control the
epidemic by pivoting to a
data-driven approach that
strategically targets
geographic areas and
populations where we
can achieve the most
impact for our
investments.

13. “The three principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration form the
cornerstone of an open government. Transparency promotes accountability by
providing the public with information about what the Government is
doing. Participation allows members of the public to contribute ideas and
expertise so that their government can make policies with the benefit of
information that is widely dispersed in society. Collaboration improves the
effectiveness of Government by encouraging partnerships and cooperation
within the Federal Government, across levels of government, and between the
Government and private institutions.”
