# Change South Africa is calling on the government to take urgent action to address the gaps that will be left by the termination of the United States Agency for International Development funding. The agency issued termination grant notices to US President’s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief-funded HIV organisations. Pepfar constitutes 17-percent of South Africa’s 44.4-billion-rand campaign for HIV counselling and testing. Change South Africa says further inaction and lack of urgent planning from the government will certainly lead to increased death and suffering.
