• PEPFAR directly supported HIV testing and counseling for more than 11 million pregnant women in fiscal year 2012.
• PEPFAR supported antiretroviral drug phrophylaxis to prevent mother-to-child transmission, more than 750,000 of these women who tested positive for HIV, allowing approximately 230,000 infants to be born HIV-free.
• PEPFAR directly supported nearly 15 million people with care and support, including nearly 15 million orphans and vulnerable children, in fiscal year 2012.
• PEPFAR directly supported approximately 2 million male circumcision procedures worldwide cumulatively through September 2012.
• PEPFAR directly supported HIV testing and counseling for more than 46.5 million people in fiscal year 2012, providing a critical entry point for treatment, prevention, and care.

The U.S. is the first and largest donor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria.To date, the U.S. has provided more than $7 billion to the fund.

Trade Not Aid: Obama’s Africa Legacy

A shift in policy towards trade promotion could be the defining characteristic of the Obama administration’s relationship with the continent.

The US-Africa Business Forum (USABF), which meets for the second time in New York on 21 September, provides a platform to deepen business and financial ties between the US and Africa, and is the culmination of efforts to diversify Washington’s focus away from humanitarian concerns and counterterrorism. Emphasizing the business opportunities that Africa offers could be Barack Obama’s key Africa legacy, equivalent to the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) for Bill Clinton and the President’s Emergency Program on AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) or the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) for George W Bush.

The Clinton Foundation and its fight against HIV/AIDS

Clinton said 9 million people have lower-cost HIV/AIDS medicine thanks to the efforts of the Clinton Foundation and her husband. Bill Clinton started the foundation and its first big project was the Clinton Health Access Initiative. The program focused on using market mechanisms to reduce treatment costs. Costs have fallen dramatically and the initiative remains a key global player in maintaining a steady supply of affordable drugs.

If anything, Clinton understated the number of people who have benefited from the program. We rate this claim True.

Other recent Presidents....Of both parties
Have extended humanitarian aid to Africa

President Trump mocks them for living in huts and calls them Shithole Countries

 

[WillMunny]

Who cares about African lives? That continent is a giant waste of money, it always has been and always will be an utter train wreck of savagery and nothing anybody can do, no amount of money spent on it, will change that. Third world countries are third world because the population doesn't have the values or I.Q. to create a civilized society; it's the dregs of humanity.

Just last week, our President was mocking Nigeria for people living in huts

Meanwhile, China is investing billions in African infrastructure and building strong diplomatic ties

The US used to have a global presence and a reputation for doing humanitarian acts
Now, our President is a shithole
