United States Global AIDS Coordinator
Template:Use mdy dates Template:Short description Template:Use American English Template:Infobox Political post
The global AIDS coordinator at the United States Department of State is the official responsible for overseeing U.S.-sponsored humanitarian aid programs to combat the AIDS epidemic around the world. The global AIDS coordinator holds the rank of ambassador-at-large and assistant secretary.[1][2]
Mission
The mission of the Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and Health Diplomacy (OGAC) is to lead the implementation of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which represents the largest commitment ever by any nation for an international health initiative dedicated to a single disease.[3] Initiated in 2003, PEPFAR has been reauthorized three times. What began as an emergency response has since developed into one of the largest international health initiatives. PEPFAR has supported countries in the development of national health and information systems to support the fight against HIV/AIDS and other diseases, and is collaborating with countries around the world to work towards epidemic control. PEPFAR aid has directly contributed to preventing over 20 million excess deaths in 50 countries around the world, as of June 2021.[4]
OGAC is also one of the few offices at the State Department that reports directly to the secretary of state, instead of going through a deputy secretary of state.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The second Trump administration eliminated the position in January 2025.
