The U.S. government has formally announced it is abandoning its previous policy of “transitioning” out of funding for South Africa’s HIV treatment program–pledging $410 million next year to support the SA AIDS response. This reflects a reversal of the Partnership Framework policy that activists in South Africa and the U.S. have sharply criticized–highlighted in the Health GAP report “The Politics of Transition” and analysis by TAC/MSF/Section 27.
