Community REACH is a five-year, USAID-funded program designed to
facilitate the efficient flow of grant funds to organizations playing
valuable roles in the fight against HIV/AIDS, including PVOs, regional
and local NGOs, universities and faith-based organizations. Funded
activities will be consistent with USAID's goal of "increased use of
improved, effective and sustainable responses to reduce HIV
transmission and to mitigate the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic."
