PEPFAR programs are led by OGAC at the State Department and implemented by various U.S. agencies and departments, including the following:

1. Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC): CDC’s Global AIDS Program (GAP) operates in 38 countries and four regional programs. CDC HIV/AIDS programs assist ministries of health and local implementing organizations to implement HIV/AIDS prevention programs, analyze program impact and cost effectiveness, and build the capacity of public workforce, as well as public health information, laboratory, and management systems.
2. National Institutes of Health (NIH): NIH supports HIV/AIDS research and training in approximately 100 countries. This research focuses on tools to prevent HIV transmission, such as vaccines and microbicides; strategies to prevent mother-to-child transmission; and approaches to treating HIV and its associated opportunistic infections and co-infections in resource poor settings.
3. U.S. Agency for International Development: USAID supports HIV/AIDS programs in nearly 100 countries. These programs focus on providing treatment, care, and support to people infected with HIV/AIDS; strengthening primary health care systems; providing training, technical assistance, and commodities that reduce HIV transmission; educating high-risk behaviors; and supporting international partnerships.
4. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA): HRSA provides education and training HIV/AIDS programs in more than 25 countries that increase rapid roll-out of ART, support health system strengthening and improvements in human resources for health, and facilitate innovative approaches to health data collection and evaluation.
5. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA): FDA ensures the availability of safe and effective AIDS treatment. Since 2004, FDA has supported an accelerated review process for ARTs, including generic drugs and fixed dose combination drugs (FDCs)—multiple antiretroviral drugs combined into a single pill—for PEPFAR programs. As of 2011, 136 ART formulations had been approved or tentatively approved by FDA.
6. Department of Labor (DOL): DOL implements HIV/AIDS programs in over 23 countries that facilitate the development of comprehensive workplace-based HIV prevention and education programs; assist governments, employers, and trade unions to develop and disseminate workplace policy countering stigma
7. U.S. Response to the Global Threat of HIV/AIDS: Basic Facts Congressional Research Service 8 and discrimination; and support collaboration between government, business, and labor in countering HIV/AIDS.
8. Peace Corps: Peace Corps volunteers support community-based HIV/AIDS care and prevention efforts over 66 countries. A number of Peace Corps volunteer projects related to HIV/AIDS received direct PEPFAR funding, while other Peace Corps posts benefited from activities organized by the headquarters using central PEPFAR funding.
9. U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC): DOC creates and disseminates sector specific strategies to inform HIV trade advisory committees on how the private sector can help combat HIV/AIDS.
10. The U.S. Census Bureau also contributes to PEPFAR by assisting with data management and analysis, estimating infections averted, and supporting mapping of country-level activities
