Launch of UNAIDS Global AIDS Update 2023

Description

The theme of the report is that there is a path that ends AIDS that is shown to work and which the world can choose to follow. That AIDS responses succeed when they are anchored in strong political commitment translated into:

1. Reliable and adequate funding
2. Following the data and evidence
3. Reducing inequities and discrimination that deny people services and tools that protect well-being
4. Recognising the importance of community-led interventions

The Roundtable discussion, hosted by BBC correspondent Imogen Foulkes, and initiated by reflections on the report from the UNAIDS Executive Director, and HIV response leaders including affected communities, will bring leaders together from Missions, civil society, UN agencies, and other key partners from the Geneva community.
