Gerald’s journey with HIV was marked by inconsistency. He lacked the family support needed to take his medication regularly. When CLM identified him as a non-suppressing child, they didn’t just look at his medical file, they looked at his life.

What started as a 90-day US funding freeze has now escalated to termination of key programs, causing panic & uncertainty in communities.

Today, CSOs held a press conference urging urgent govt action to sustain life-saving health services.

"We are talking about 1.4M PLHIV, who have families & other health conditions like diabetes & NCDs. As CSO, we have long warned about this crisis, & now it is unfolding before us." – @lmworeko, ED ICWEA, on the devastating impact of the U.S. freezing HIV response funds.

"HIV, TB, malaria, maternal & child health, mental health—all these are at risk. But it doesn’t stop there. The loss of jobs means families can’t afford school fees, impacting education. How is our goverment preparing to respond?" – @lmworeko, Executive Director ICWEA.

What does sustainability mean for communities moving into COP25?
It means leadership & local ownership, community-led responses, addressing social, economic & health challenges, sustainable financing (e.g. social contracting), strengthening resilience, and enabling environments.

This meeting aims to develop a country-led sustainability plan for Uganda's HIV response enabling the nation to lead efforts in ending HIV & AIDS as a public health threat beyond 2030. These engagements emphasize country ownership, with communities placed at the center.
