A strong HIV response depends on coordination, accountability and community leadership.

UNAIDS continues to bring communities, governments and partners together to influence policies, strengthen programmes.

HIV response must reach the people who need it most.

This Saturday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Prof. dr. Amon Murwira, is the Guest of Honour at Uganda's 64th Independence Day Celebrations hosted by the Embassy of Uganda in Zimbabwe.
The occasion offers an opportunity to strengthen bilateral relations, deepen trade and investment, and expand cooperation across key sectors of both economies, including agriculture, mining, manufacturing, agro-processing, tourism, infrastructure, energy, transport, education, healthcare, and science, technology and innovation.
Enhanced collaboration in these areas can promote value addition, create employment opportunities, expand market access, and improve the livelihoods of Zimbabweans and Ugandans.

Through frameworks such as AfCFTA and COMESA, the two countries can expand market access, create employment opportunities and translate diplomatic ties into tangible economic benefits for the two peoples.

Young people living with HIV must be at the centre of decisions about the future of the HIV response.
Paul Mavesere Ndhlovu of Zvandiri, Zimbabwe, stressed that the transition must protect HIV leadership, accountability and meaningful community engagement.

He called for a strong UNAIDS presence in countries until governments and communities agree that alternative arrangements are functional and ready — and for success to be measured not by institutional change, but by whether new arrangements can mobilize partners, engage communities and advocate for human rights.

“Whether it is able to mobilize and engage communities and partners, and whether it is able to advocate for human rights.”

Theme: “Digital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence to Redesign Tourism.”

Every two years, ICASA moves to a different African country, bringing together people from across the continent and beyond to share knowledge, advance the response to public health threats, and build meaningful connections.
But the ICASA experience extends beyond the conference room. Each host country offers delegates a chance to discover its culture, history, people, cuisine and unique destinations, making every edition a new experience and every journey one to remember.

This World Tourism Day, we celebrate the beauty of exploring Africa while coming together for a shared purpose. As we are celebrating World Tourism Day, we are also celebrating ICASA, which is one of the powerful tourism attractions that help discover our continent. See where ICASA has been hosted for over 35 years.

And the journey continues in Benin!
Get ready for ICASA 2027 in Cotonou, Benin, where science, culture and unforgettable experiences will come together. We look forward to welcoming you! 🌍✈️

Human dignity must remain at the heart of our digital future.

During his address at @UNESCO, Pope Leo XIV reflected on the challenges posed by artificial intelligence, calling for technology to remain at the service of people and for greater protection of children and young people in the digital age.

While artificial intelligence can process and correlate vast amounts of information, it cannot provide meaning or trust. In the words of @Pontifex , “Meaning is the oxygen of the mind.”

His message ultimately went beyond technology: trust, dialogue and education are essential to overcoming divisions, strengthening our common humanity and building lasting peace.

What does it really mean to be prepared for a pandemic?

It’s more than laboratories, surveillance and stockpiles.

As Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director of UNAIDS, told the High-Level Meeting on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response, preparedness must mean enabling people to act on public health advice.

Because telling a woman to stay home during a pandemic isn’t realistic if doing so means her children won’t eat.

That means pandemic preparedness also needs social protection, community-led services, rights, data, financing and systems that reach the people most at risk.

We have the science. Now we need the solidarity and systems to make that science work

[UNAIDS Global @UNAIDS]

Yesterday in New York, the Government of Benin and the UNAIDS Secretariat signed a Protocol of Agreement, with Benin committing €544,042 to support UNAIDS’ work in the country through 2026–2027.

The contribution is a concrete demonstration of Benin’s leadership and shared responsibility for sustaining its HIV response — particularly at a time when international health financing is under pressure.

Since 2001, UNAIDS has worked alongside the Government of Benin, communities, civil society and development partners to strengthen the HIV response and expand access to prevention, treatment and support.

As Benjamin Hounkpatin, Minister of Health of Benin, said:

“It is more than a financing agreement; it is proof that a steadfast partnership, sustained over time, saves lives.”

Benin joins a growing group of countries investing directly in UNAIDS’ work, reinforcing a model built around country leadership, national ownership and sustainable partnerships.

The HIV response is strongest when countries are empowered to lead it — and UNAIDS is committed to being a partner in that work.
