So DSA does not endorse this, and never endorsed ending PEPFAR--which was partially administered by USAID but in no way is equivalent to or dependent on USAID. The majority of people on antiretroviral treatment via PEPFAR support receive(d) it via CDC administered grants.

The author of the global health section of Proj 2025 doesn’t sound too peppy about PEPFAR here. An interesting take on policy, though, for a “think tank”

PEPFAR money isn't being spent! Funding already approved by Congress on a bipartisan basis is being withheld by OMB. We can help by calling on our reps to demand OMB releases the funds NOW!
Don't cut funding
Ensure that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) fully releases the full $6.045 billion in PEPFAR funding that Congress has already approved.

Congress has the power of the purse and fully funded PEPFAR; Vought is *withholding* those funds with impunity--this is llegal & will be deadly.

While promising, this is, unfortunately, old news that affects only the current fiscal year. We will see in the next month or two the extent to which PEPFAR lives on post-September. That will be something to keep an eye out for.
