ZAMBIA: US millions earmarked for AIDS care

A community-based project in Zambia is set to target over 500,000 people living with HIV and AIDS over six months, according to a local newspaper, the Daily Mail.

US $34 million has been made available to Reaching HIV/AIDS Affected People with Integrated Development and Support by the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), said US Embassy Public Affairs Officer Dehab Gbebreab.

PEPFAR is President George W. Bush's $15 billion programme for directing money to 12 African nations and the Caribbean.
