AIDS Alarm: efforts to defeat pandemic in Africa may fail

Friday, 25 November 2005

Rome (Fides Service) - To mark World AIDS Day on December 1 AMREF Italy (African Medical and Research Foundation) and ActionAids International in collaboration with the Italian Observatory on Global Action against AIDS will present on 29 November in Rome a dossier Coordination and harmonization in fighting Hiv-Aids, compiled by the University of Nairobi.
On the basis of the dossier dedicated to the situation in Kenya but symptomatic of the situation all over Africa, ActionAid and AMREF Italy warn of a risk that the logic of donor countries and lack of co-ordination of interventions to fight AIDS may irreversibly defeat efforts for an effective fight against the pandemic.
