@Winnie_Byanyima What is global solidarity in a post-aid world?
Fair trade! Affordable finance; fair prices; greater African voice in global governance; climate justice and finance - Africa reset is such a vehicle #Africacentre @StellenboschUni

[UNAIDS Global @UNAIDS]

Closing her remarks at today’s UNAIDS PCB Special Session, Executive Director @Winnie_Byanyima underscored the stakes of the Joint Programme’s transformation.

UNAIDS is not closing. Its mission continues.

The road ahead demands a responsible transition that builds on past achievements, strengthens country ownership and protects the people we serve.

Well, impossible to retire or get tired of serving for the wellbeing of children.
Please join me in in supporting the wonderful mission of Plan International.
In humility and unwavering commitment!

Reducing costs alone is not reform. We cannot transfer responsibilities to governments and communities without ensuring they have the capacity, resources and accountability to sustain them. We must not dismantle what works before something stronger is in place.
A poorly managed @UNAIDS transition could revert decades of hard-won gains. We must not allow that to happen.

“Moving faster is not necessarily moving forward.”

Speaking at today’s UNAIDS PCB Special Session, Executive Director @Winnie_Byanyima stressed that the UNAIDS Joint Programme’s transformation must be responsible and do no harm. Functions cannot be transferred to governments and communities without the capacity and resources to sustain them. Decades of progress in the HIV response must be protected.

On #UNDay, I celebrate the values that unite us: human dignity, solidarity and equality.

Faced with extreme and widening inequality, the climate crisis and the dangers of unregulated AI, we need the @UN and international cooperation more than ever.

Our shared future depends on it!

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

New HIV infections are rising in some regions. We need a Joint Programme that brings the world together, provides political leadership, accountability, & ensures that communities are at the centre of this. @UNAIDS is not sunsetting, but it's going to transform.

Here’s to the people that bet on us when the rest of the world had no idea we even existed. You are the real MVPs 🥂

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

The HIV response has always adapted to meet new challenges. As countries take greater ownership of their health responses, global solidarity remains vital to sustain progress & keep the goal of ending AIDS within reach.

Ending AIDS remains possible. We know how to do it. But it will require countries to stand together, protect what works, and keep communities at the centre.
