Africa Trip Highlights 2011

On December 1-5, 2011 President and Mrs. Bush traveled to Tanzania, Zambia and Ethiopia. The trip demonstrated President and Mrs. Bush's continued commitment to the people of Africa through the work of the George W. Bush Institute's (GWBI) Global Health program. The trip also highlighted the Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon® initiative, an innovative partnership between GWBI, the U.S. Department of State President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), and other private partners. The Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon initiative leverages public and private investments and existing health infrastructures to combat two of the leading causes of cancer death among women in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America - cervical and breast cancer.
