South Africa is a powerful example of #HIVresponse resilience: Government & community both working incredibly hard to drive harder & protect the hard-won gains of recent decades. 🇿🇦’s success sends a powerful signal to other countries. I applaud 🇿🇦’s commitment to #endAIDS! 👏🏾👏🏾

Comrade Winnie Byanyima and UNAIDS Global UNAIDS South Africa have always been critical partners in community-led monitoring. We need to amplify, not reduce our work at this critical juncture. Data from Itireleng CHC and other health facilities will be highlighted in the data we are analyzing

While the funding cuts have been devastating, I am eager to explore & support their new approach called ‘corner-to-corner’ - aimed at integrating health services, to take the facility into the heart of the community! We know when communities lead, HIV responses succeed. #endAIDS

Inspiring to hear from 🇿🇦 community members how the whole system comes together from government-provided services, supported by international assistance, to communities and what they bring. I reaffirmed UNAIDS Global support for community-led service delivery & monitoring. #endAIDS

The old model of development financing is dying, but while aid may disappear, #GlobalSolidarity must remain. We can build a new consensus rooted in: ✅ debt justice ✅ tax justice ✅ intellectual property justice ✅ global public investment #FFD4Sevilla english.elpais.com/opinion/2025-0…

Two in every three countries in Africa are spending more on debt than on health care. Broadly, for every $1 in aid coming in, the continent loses $2 to illicit financial flows, mostly tax abuse, and to debt repayments. This is not a way to achieve development. It's a perverse
