Some Background Info For Us
Share
Hi there,
President Bush took off for Benin last night, and will also visit Rwanda, Ghana, Tanzania, and Liberia in the next 6 days.
We expect the trip to cover several of the bipartisan programs ONE supporters have been supporting for years, such as PEPFAR, PMI, the MCA and AGOA.
The ONE policy staff, who we love, put together briefs on all of these topics so that you can peruse at your leisure during the next few days. As news pours in as to what our president is doing day-to-day on his Africa trip, I’ll likely be referring back to the stats in these quick, easy-to-read briefs.
- PEPFAR (President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief)
- PMI (President’s Malaria Initiative)
- MCA (Millennium Challenge Account)
- AGOA (The African Growth and Opportunity Act)

All day I have been watching the reports on all the cable news stations about the African trip. Almost every report talks about PEPFAR and PMI and how they are saving lives. One report talked about how a few years ago, PEPFAR didn’t exist, and now the Congress is fighting to at least double it! GO ONE! We are not there yet…but we are getting there!
