The PEPFAR Policy Monitoring Project was a multi-disciplinary collaboration between the University of Washington, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Health Policy Project. The objective of this project was to monitor progress toward achieving HIV-related policy reforms in PEPFAR partner countries and build policy development and monitoring capacity of key institutions in PEPFAR partner countries.
As part of this project, the University of Washington collaborated with research partners based in South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Nigeria to produce a series of AIDS Law Briefs and AIDS Law Brief Background Papers to help inform HIV-related policy reform in these countries. Teams of University of Washington law and global health graduate students conducted research that resulted in the following AIDS Law Briefs and Background Papers.
