Dar es salaam declaration

Paris — Twelve African countries on Wednesday spelled out plans for ending AIDS in children by 2030 through an array of HIV testing, treatment and prevention programs. The 2030 goal, which was announced by UNAIDS last year, was unanimously backed by representatives from the 12 nations gathered in Tanzania's Dar es Salaam. "All of us in our capacities must have a role to play to end AIDS in children," Tanzanian Vice President Philip Mpango told the conference. "We must not remain complacent; 2030 is at our doorstep." The Dar es Salaam Declaration was announced at the first ministerial meeting of the Global Alliance to end AIDS in Children, which brings together the 12 countries with UNAIDS and other health agencies. The 12 nations are Angola, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, DR Congo, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

'A winnable fight' UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima told the meeting "it fills me with hope that all of us in this room have commi...
