Implementing the declaraton of commitment of HIV/AIDS

Abstract

As part of the overall follow up process to the UN General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS, a series of regional consultations is being organized to highlight lessons learned thus far, with the aim of considering these issues at an informal high level panel discussion during the 58th General Assembly later this year. This paper seeks to help frame the debate by focusing the discussions on 3 broad areas: (a) the engagement of civil society, especially people living with HIV/AIDS, religious leaders and the private sector; (b) agriculture and food security; and (c) uniformed services, security and stability
