The president, accompanied by his wife, Laura, will visit Benin, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana and Liberia.
"This trip will be an opportunity for the president to review firsthand the significant progress since his last visit in 2003 in efforts to increase economic development and fight HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other treatable diseases, as a result of the United States robust programs in these areas," a White House statement said.
It said Bush also would talk with leaders about how the United States can help promote democratic reform, respect for human rights, free trade, open investment regimes and economic opportunity across the continent.
Bush in November urged Congress to double U.S. money for global fight against HIV/AIDS, to $30 billion over the next five years. In 2003 Congress approved $15 billion for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The program is active in 120 countries, with a concentrated focus on 15, including Liberia.
As of the end of September, 1.36 million people in those focus countries had received antiretroviral treatment through the program, with a focus on averting infant infections by treating pregnant women. Others receive testing and counseling.
Doubling the funding for PEPFAR would provide treatment for 2.5 million people, the White House said.
