PEPFAR on Facebook (and Twitter)

Some friends recently alerted me to the fact that the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is now officially on Facebook.

This is a pretty cool development, and my immediate impression of the page is that it’s a really nice platform to disseminate up-to-the-minute information about the program and to interact with constituents. You can check out the page, and become a fan, at www.facebook.com/PEPFAR. You can also now follow PEPFAR on Twitter.

Also, Nandini Oomman and Christina Droggitis from the Center for Global Development offer some sharp analysis and suggestions for PEPFAR’s engagement with social networking here.
