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.
