The fight against HIV remains high on the global agenda, as President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah met with Ms. Winnie Byanyima, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Director of UNAIDS, to reaffirm shared priorities in the response.

The discussions underscored the importance of sustaining momentum in the HIV response, ensuring a safe and responsible institutional transition for UNAIDS as part of ongoing UN reform efforts, and advancing the Accra Reset’s vision alongside Africa’s broader push toward health sovereignty.

WATCH | “Inequality between countries in access to medicines makes the world more vulnerable to pandemics. The reality is when only some countries can respond effectively to an outbreak, and others lack the means to do so, it makes everyone across the world more vulnerable. Inequality is good for nobody” - Monica Geingos @KalondoMonica: Chairperson of the One Economy Foundation and former First Lady of Namibia, speaking at the Global Council on inequality, AIDS, and pandemics report launch.

Without a story there is no HIV advocacy. And without HIV data there is no story.

In 2025 @dfat supported our critical work to help #AsiaPacific countries understand their epidemics.

These are a few of this year's international stories on Fiji's HIV outbreak which use data to shine a light and inspire action.
