Name That AIDS Program: And the Winner Is...

March 03, 2008

The multi-billion dollar U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), is up for renewal, a large budget increase, and an updated strategy. Some observers have suggested that it also needs a new name, to better reflect the long-term nature of the challenge and broad-based support that the program will need to survive. With these concerns in mind, CGD's HIV/AIDS Monitor team invited suggestions from our readers. We received dozens of good ideas and put the six most promising names to a vote. And the winner (drum roll, please…) is AIDS and Healthcare Leadership Program (AIDSHELP), submitted by Nicolas Cook. Congratulations Nicolas!
