The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) has supported the Government of Zimbabwe, through the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MOHCC), since 2001. Since then, the organization has made significant progress, particularly in reducing new HIV infections in children.

This annual report covers the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2018, highlighting achievements and challenges under each of EGPAF’s four strategic goals.
