US funding cuts have impacted Zambia’s HIV response. But the government and partners are stepping up. UNAIDS' Isaac Offei shares how the country is mitigating the impacts to protect the health and lives of people living with HIV, and how UNAIDS is supporting these efforts.

Our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Zambia’s Sixth President, H.E. Edgar Chagwa Lungu, who passed on today. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

As regional compatriots, South Africans are standing by the people of Zambia in this difficult moment. We have had the duty and privilege in recent weeks to care for a leader from our region whom we embraced as a brother and friend. We therefore share the grief and loss

A fully funded UNAIDS means protecting decades of progress in the global HIV response and driving the momentum we need to finally end AIDS by 2030.​ Here's how⬇️​ unaids.org/en/donate #InvestinUNAIDS
