The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has provided technical assistance for HIV/AIDS in Senegal since 2001, starting with the "Leadership and Investment in Fighting an Epidemic" Initiative. CDC currently focuses on strengthening HIV strategic information. In 2006, CDC began collaborating with the government of Senegal on the launch of the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI). Through PMI, CDC works closely with the National Malaria Control Program and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). CDC has one staff person in Senegal to support PMI with all other CDC support to the country coordinated through CDC's Atlanta headquarters.
