DeLauro, Frankel Statement on Misuse of PEPFAR Funds
January 17, 2025 | Press Release
WASHINGTON — House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) and State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Ranking Member Lois Frankel (FL-22) released the following statement on the use of President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) funds in violation of United States law:
“For two decades, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has represented the best of American leadership and compassion, saving more than 26 million lives and transforming global health systems. This bipartisan initiative has helped countless families and communities combat the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS and has been a cornerstone of U.S. global health diplomacy.
“It is essential that what appears to be an isolated incident in Mozambique does not undermine the overwhelming success and integrity of PEPFAR's mission. A commitment to compliance and transparency is an absolute requirement, and we have seen swift actions by program administrators to address this issue. By strengthening oversight and reaffirming our commitment to PEPFAR, we can protect the global progress this program has achieved.”
