Africa: African Civil Society Coalition on HIV/AIDS

Letter addressed to HE President Sasso Nguesso, Chairperson of the African Union and H.E. Mr. Alpha Oumar Konare

A coalition of civil society organisations have written to the president of the AU and the AU Comission to express concern about the need to tackle the HIV and AIDS pandemic on the continent. They state that they are "anxious that the forthcoming Seventh Ordinary Summit reinforces the integrity of the AU, and confirms the strong leadership on HIV and AIDS demonstrated by African leaders at the Abuja Summit both in 2001 and again in 2006."
