FHI to Share Lessons from 10-Year Global AIDS Project

WASHINGTON, June 22, 2007 — FHI is celebrating a decade of global leadership and innovation managing USAID's Implementing AIDS Prevention and Care (IMPACT) Project.  The event will take place June 28 at the George Washington University, and will feature multimedia presentations by technical and program leaders from FHI and partner organizations, IMPACT clients, and USAID staff.

Presentations will highlight IMPACT's contributions in the following areas: 

• providing antiretroviral therapy in resource-constrained settings
• expanding counseling and testing
• developing palliative care programs
• using strategic information to monitor trends in and responses to the epidemic
