How did we get there? • Science and rights driven • A global response • Focus on results for people • Prevention AND treatment • Multi-disciplinary, multi-sectoral • Community engagement

A global response • Human rights and strategic issue • Global public good • Role of United Nations • Global civil society and activism • International financing

Focus on results for people • Targets • Know your epidemic and the society • Monitor and evaluate • Accountability

A multi-disciplinary, multi-sectoral response • Health outcomes determined by multiple factors and interventions • Particularly key besides health: law, education, work place, trade, armed forces • Expand resource base • First genuine business engagement in health

Community engagement • From planning to implementation • Makes or breaks programmes • National Aids Councils and Global Fund Country Coordination Mechanisms • Societal sustainability and resilience
Opportunities for global health • Health diplomacy • Increased funding (ODA and research) • Collateral benefits (TB, malaria, health systems) • Culture of accountability • Tiered pricing • Engagement of non-medical sectors • New blood
aids2031 • Taking a long term view- stretching planning and funding horizons to achieve sustainability • Multi-disciplinary – bringing together bio-medical, social and political scientists, economists and activists to look at what should we do differently – or more of the same – now to change the future of AIDS • Key aids2031 report “Agenda for the Future” to be launched in 2010

The long term view • A still evolving epidemic • Sustainability (leadership, funding, treatment) • An all out effort on hiv prevention • Improve programme delivery and capacity • Links and synergies with health services ( ART, PMTCTC) and community development • To stop aids, need for technological and structural game changers (but no magic bullet!) • Invest in R&D
