The NGO Delegation’s Report to the PCB will focus on the importance of involving communities – key and marginalized populations, people living with HIV, and other communities hard hit by the AIDS pandemic – in the HIV response. A topic that has long been discussed by multilateral organizations, donors, national governments, and of course, communities themselves.

This year’s report to the PCB will focus on ‘People living with HIV during humanitarian emergencies’. The last couple of years have seen several different humanitarian emergencies arising from various parts of the world. Some of the most notable ones include the Russo-Ukrainian War, the ongoing conflict in Sudan, and the catastrophic hunger crisis in Somalia. These crises create gaps in the global response to HIV/AIDS for people living with HIV. You can now download and read the report.

The 2022 NGO report focuses on the untapped potential of U=U as a community-led, HIV health equity strategy to improve the health and quality of life of people living with HIV and contribute to the global treatment targets by advancing universal access to antiretroviral therapy, diagnostics and sustained care, while reducing HIV transmission.

Kenya hosted the 55th UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board (PCB) meeting in Nairobi from 10 to 12 December 2024, marking the first time in 18 years that the PCB convened in Africa. This historic event underscored the continent’s centrality in the global HIV response, with Kenya also organizing five field visits for delegates on 9 December. These visits offered firsthand insight into the challenges and successes of local HIV programs, highlighting the critical role of community-driven initiatives in shaping effective responses.
