Debt Relief and the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa Open this link in a new window
Over one-third of HIV/AIDS sufferers live in countries classified as heavily indebted. Repayments to creditors by these countries are diverting resources needed to break the links between ill-health and poverty. Radical reform of the Enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative is vital to mobilise the resources needed to protect current and future generations from the threat posed by HIV/AIDS.

False hope or new start? The Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, TB, and Malaria Open this link in a new window
The Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, TB, and Malaria was set up to tackle the health crisis caused by these three diseases in developing countries. But it requires massive and long-term donor funding, a transparent and equitable system of service delivery, and commitment to comprehensive programmes of prevention, treatment, and care (which include the use of generic medicines) to address the global AIDS crisis.

Fighting HIV/AIDS with peanuts - a year in the life of the Global Fund for AIDS, TB and Malaria Open this link in a new window
The Global Fund for AIDS, TB and Malaria was launched with much fanfare in New York in June 2001. It was described as a 'quantum leap' in the fight against these infectious diseases. But, one year on, it is grossly underfunded, as are programmes tackling HIV/AIDS in general. Christian Aid believes that this is unforgivable.

Global HIV/AIDS and Health Fund: Foundation for action or fig leaf? Open this link in a new window
f properly funded and managed, the Global Fund could act as a vitally needed catalyst to spearhead renewed efforts to tackle the devastating global health crisis and to spur governments - at national and international level - to do much more to prioritise and deliver on the internationally agreed health targets. Without proper funding and international commitment, the Fund could serve merely as another exercise in window-dressing while the health crisis deepens.
