Widely considered one of the best examples of global health leadership in history, PEPFAR is credited with saving 25 million lives, preventing millions of HIV infections, and accelerating progress toward turning the tide of the HIV/AIDS crisis globally. Coordinated by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy, and implemented by seven departments and agencies, PEPFAR is the largest commitment ever to be undertaken by any nation to address a single disease.
"Celebrating its 20th year in existence, PEPFAR invests in systems that drive efficient and sustainable healthcare," said Accenture Federal Services Managing Director and U.S. Department of State Client Account Lead, Anthony Pinheiro. "PEPFAR is a shining example of what can be achieved with a whole-of-government approach. Accenture Federal Services is helping the organization secure health data collection and exchange to enable real-time analysis of programmatic performance."
Since its inception, PEPFAR has helped train 340,000 health care workers in partner nations to improve HIV care and deliver other health services. Additionally, the program has created a lasting system to confront other health challenges in recent years, including COVID-19.
"Policies and practices to combat global health threats work best when supported by detailed data to drive optimal decision-making," said John Roche, Accenture Federal Services' managing director. "Accenture Federal Services is introducing new technologies and architectures into PEPFAR's data infrastructure as the program builds on the success it has already achieved as an innovative global health paradigm, and as it evolves to address new risk groups, confront future health threats, and eliminate HIV as a public health threat by 2030."
The single award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract has a base performance period of one year and four option years.
Accenture Federal Services is a subsidiary of Accenture (NYSE:ACN).
