Faith-based organisations lay down AIDS roadmap at Caritas-UNAIDS meeting to strengthen collaboration and bring an end to HIV and AIDS.
In a Rome meeting organised by Caritas and UNAIDS this week, FBOs studied how to boost their work in giving life-saving care to marginalised populations in poor countries. They also looked at how to increase access to funding and resources to scale-up treatment.
“We are entering a new phase where we can see the beginning of the end of AIDS,” said Dr Luiz Loures, Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations and Deputy Executive Director of UNAIDS to the meeting’s participants.
