Impact Of The PEPFAR Funding Freeze On Programs For Key Populations

Publications - Released in 2025

In 2024, the total PEPAR budget for KP-focused HIV testing, treatment, prevention, and wraparound services was $415.4M. At the highest end, this gure represents the total budget needed to maintain KP-focused programs at the current state in a worst case scenario in which PEPFAR terminates all of these programs. The largest gaps would be seen in Eastern and Southern Africa, where the average PEPFAR country budget for all KP-focused programs is $12.7M, followed by Asia ($7.8M), Eastern Europe and Central Asia ($6.8M), Western and Central Asia ($6.0M), and Latin America and the Caribbean ($3.3M).
