The National Strategic Plan 2009-2012 on HIV and AIDS (NSP) is the result of more than a year of preparatory work, starting with the development of Rwanda's Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS) 2008-2012, which sets out the overarching goals for the response to HIV and AIDS as... well as reaffirming Rwanda's commitment to a multi-sector response. In addition, a wide range of analyses carried out in 2007 and 2008 have helped to ensure that the NSP is based on the most up to date understanding of the epidemic, that the strategies are based on evidence of what works in Rwanda and elsewhere, and that the strengths and weaknesses of the systems and mechanisms for responding to HIV and AIDS are addressed through the NSP.

Progress in prevention and treatment is faltering around the world, putting millions of people in grave danger. Eastern Europe and central Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East and North Africa have all seen increases in annual HIV infections over several years. In Asia and the Pacific, UNAIDS da...ta now show new HIV infections are rising where they had been falling.

The indicators and questions in this document are designed for use by national AIDS programmes and partners to assess the state of a country’s HIV and AIDS response, and to measure progress towards achieving national HIV targets. Countries are encouraged to integrate these indicators and questions... into their ongoing monitoring efforts and to report comprehensive national data through the Global AIDS Monitoring (GAM) process. In this way they will contribute to improving understanding of the global response to the HIV epidemic, including progress that has been made towards achieving the commitments and global targets set out in the new United Nations Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS: Ending Inequalities and Getting on Track to End AIDS by 2030, adopted in June 2021, and the linked Sustainable Development Goals.

Yaws is a non-venereal endemic treponemal infection caused by Treponema pallidum sub-species pertenue, a bacterium closely related to Treponema pallidum ssp. pallidum, the agent of venereal syphilis. Yaws predominantly affects children living in tropical regions of the world. It causes lesions of th...e skin, mucous membranes and bones which, without treatment, can become chronic and destructive. There is no widely available test to distinguish yaws from syphilis. Thus, migration of people from yaws-endemic areas to developed countries may present clinicians with diagnostic dilemmas. The other endemic treponemal infections are bejel (endemic syphilis) caused by Treponema pallidum ssp. endemicum and pinta caused by Treponema carateum.

This report makes clear that there is a path to end AIDS. Taking that path will help ensure preparedness to address other pandemic challenges, and advance progress across the Sustainable Development Goals. The data and real-world examples in the report make it very clear what that path is. It is not... a mystery. It is a choice. Some leaders are already following the path—and succeeding. It is inspiring to note that Botswana, Eswatini, Rwanda, the United Republic of Tanzania and Zimbabwe have already achieved the 95–95–95 targets, and at least 16 other countries (including eight in sub-Saharan Africa) are close to doing so.

Der Globale Fonds (GF) ist ein unverzichtbares Finanzierungsinstrument für die effektive Bekämpfung der drei großen Epidemien Aids, Tuberkulose und Malaria. Zu seinen Grundprinzipien gehören die Ausrichtung auf Wirksamkeit der Präventions- und Behandlungsprogramme, die Einbindung aller wichtige...n zivilgesellschaftlichen Akteure und Communitys, der Fokus auf die Umsetzung menschenrechtsbasierter Ansätze, Country Ownership sowie transparente Entscheidungsprozesse einschließlich der Mittelvergabe. 2019 sagte Deutschland für die 6. Wiederauffüllungskonferenz für den Zeitraum bis 2022 eine Milliarde Euro zu. 2020 kamen Sonderzahlungen in Höhe von 150 Mio € für den vom GF eingerichteten Covid-19-Krisenreaktionsmechanismus (Covid-19 RM) zur Eindämmung der Pandemie hinzu, in 2021 nochmals 140 Mio. €. Der Mehrbedarf zur Bewältigung der Covid-19 Pandemie ist jedoch unabhängig vom Bedarf für die Bekämpfung von Aids, Tuberkulose und Malaria zu betrachten. Dieser Mehrbedarf darf nicht über das Kernbudget für die Programme des Globalen Fonds gedeckt werden.
