How Africa turned AIDS around By Michel Sidibé Celebrating 50 Years of Africa...DrLendySpires

Michel Sidibé Executive Director UNAIDS At the May 2013 African Union Summit celebrating the 50 years of African unity, a new commission will be launched to explore HIV and global health in the post-2015 debate. “The UNAIDS and Lancet commission: from AIDS to sustainable health” will be co-chaired by Malawi President Joyce Banda, African Union Commission Chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Director Peter Piot. The pace of progress is quickening in Africa. Nowhere have we seen this more clearly than in the AIDS response. Fewer people are dying from AIDS. The number of HIV infections is coming down, with young Africans leading the prevention revolution. There is true hope that in a matter of years, Africa will reach an AIDS-free generation. It has taken a massive shift in how we work together. It has required leaders to show immense courage, passion and action from all sectors. It has taken a united Africa. I am not saying it has been easy— but it has happened. We have a shared vision of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths. And today there is an African Union endorsement of a new Roadmap to accelerate progress in HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria—through shared responsibility and global solidarity. Given the extraordinary history of the AIDS response in Africa—in terms of both galvanizing political support and mobilizing resources and communities—the Roadmap sees AIDS as a pathfinder for tuberculosis, malaria and other diseases affecting the continent that require African-sourced solutions. Leadership, it turns out, was that elusive magic bullet. It is the “disruptive innovation” that has irrevocably changed the course of AIDS and now can do even more. As we look to our future goals, I am confident that African leadership can be UNAIDS | Special report with vision and action we can change the world
