In 2014, the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) partnered together to create the Accelerating Children's HIV/AIDS Treatment (ACT) Initiative. The ACT initiative aimed to initiate 300,000 children living with HIV on life-saving ART in nine priority countries in Africa. This webinar builds upon the published report "Accelerating Children's HIV/AIDS Treatment Initiative: Promising Practices and Lessons Learned from Implementation of the ACT Initiative."
