RECOMMENDATIONS

COUNTRIES NEED TO STAY FOCUSED, FRONT-LOAD INVESTMENTS AND FAST-TRACK THEIR RESPONSES OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS TO ENSURE NO ONE IS LEFT BEHIND. IN HIS REPORT THE UNITED NATIONS SECRETARY-GENERAL OUTLINES 11 RECOMMENDATIONS TO BE URGENTLY IMPLEMENTED BY MEMBER STATES AND STAKEHOLDERS.



THE AIDS RESPONSE HAS DELIVERED MORE THAN RESULTS. IT HAS DELIVERED THE ASPIRATION AND THE PRACTICAL FOUNDATION, INCLUDING THE MEDICAL ADVANCEMENTS, INTERVENTIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS, TO END THE EPIDEMIC BY 2030. ALL THAT TRULY REMAINS, THE MISSING LINK THAT WILL DETERMINE WHETHER FAST-TRACK TARGETS WILL BE MET OR MISSED, IS THE POLITICAL COMMITMENT TO IMPLEMENT OUR PROVEN TOOLS ADEQUATELY AND EQUITABLY.

UNITED NATIONS SECRETARY-GENERAL, BAN KI-MOON

From 8 to 10 June, United Nations Member States will convene at a High-Level Meeting on Ending AIDS in New York to agree on a new Political Declaration on Ending AIDS to accelerate action and end the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030.
