RISE: Reaching Impact, Saturation and Epidemic Control

Building local capacity for holistic HIV epidemic control and flexible infrastructure to meet the demands of the global health agenda

USAID’s Reaching Impact Saturation and Epidemic Control (RISE) program has supported almost 25 countries across the globe with technical assistance, service delivery, research, and cross-cutting health system aid. RISE utilizes proven tactics from 20 years of PEPFAR implementation to address critical HIV and COVID-19 priorities and to further meet the demands of the Global Health Security Agenda. RISE is a multi-year project running through 2025, with an award ceiling of $391 million.

Of the approximately 39 million people living with HIV, 1.3 million were newly infected in 2022. An estimated 5.5 million people did not know they were living with HIV in 2022.

HIV epidemic control

RISE advances HIV epidemic control through prevention, care and treatment. In December of 2022, 29.8 million people were accessing antiretroviral therapy, up from less than 8 million in 2010. New HIV infections have been reduced by 59%, and AIDS-related deaths reduced by 69% since their peak. RISE continues to contribute to this astounding legacy of progress.
