Digital 2/13: A roller coaster ride for PEPFAR
The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief has been the subject of a series of presidential orders and memos that have left uncertainty about how is operates. First: halted as part of the suspension of foreign aid. Then: waivers issued for "life-saving" work.

We look at the changed landscape of this program, which comes under the auspices of USAID. Melody Schreiber, freelance reporter. Marc Silver, editor. Digital only. Publishing Thursday once Editorial Review weighs in. No radio planned.
