The EDCTP Message on World AIDS Day: The promise must be kept and everyone must be accountable

Published on 1 December 2006 in 'Announcements'

The world has promised to stop AIDS by 2015. Although it is 25 years now since the description of the early cases, the AIDS global epidemic continues to grow and the vision of a world without AIDS in the near future is in jeopardy. This year alone there were 4.3 million new HIV infected persons (2.8 million from the sub-Saharan Africa) adding up to the total number of people living with AIDS to 39.5 million. It is therefore appropriate and timely that the World Aids Day theme for 2006 is ACCOUNTABILITY. This falls under the broader decade (2001-2010) slogan of STOP AIDS. KEEP THE PROMISE. The accountability is about keeping this promise, especially by the world political leaders, decision and policy makers, development partners, the private industry, the scientific community and civil society at large.
