Abstract

A new spirit of cooperation and coordination between the key global players in the fight against HIV/AIDS was cemented at a meeting for programme implementers in Kigali Rwanda in mid-June. The partnership comes amidst concerns about rising infection rates in some countries where infections had slowed as well as worries about the unpredictability of funding for HIV/AIDS activities. The collaboration is expected to curb duplication of efforts and wastage of resources and to ultimately scale-up AIDS prevention and treatment. The meeting-usually an annual gathering for the US Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and its grantees-opened up for the first time to include the Global Fund to Fight AIDS Tuberculosis and Malaria UNAIDS the World Bank UNICEF WHO and the Global Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (GNP+) who were all co-sponsors of the conference.
