“A person must not leave their country because they say I am hungry, I need to get a job elsewhere. People must not leave their country because they are being persecuted.”

À #AfraVIH2026, Wim Vandevelde (he/him)#AfraVIH2026souligne que malgré des progrès, la participation des communautés reste souvent symbolique. Passer à une vraie co-construction implique d’intervenir plus tôt, mieux financer leur engagement et partager réellement le pouvoir.

À #AfraVIH2026, Nathan Ford montre que l’implication des communautés peut accélérer l’accès aux innovations. Leur contribution a permis d’éclairer les décisions de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé et d’améliorer l’accès plus rapidement.

Au stand Unitaid à AfraVIH 2026, le Dr Philippe Duneton a échangé avec communautés et praticiens : sans eux, pas d’impact durable. « L’accès ne s’improvise pas. Ça s’anticipe. » Des solutions durables passent par les communautés et leur expertise.

Merci aux communautés présentes à #AFRAVIH2026. Votre rôle est central dans la réponse au VIH. Comme je l’ai mentionné, « L’accès ne s’improvise pas. Ça s’anticipe ». Continuons à construire ensemble en intégrant pleinement votre expertise.

WATCH: Protesters interrupt OMB Director Russell Vought's opening statement: "PEPFAR Saves Lives, Spend The Money!" Under Vought's direction, the administration has withheld billions in congressionally appropriated funding for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

SCOOP: Trump is trying to disguise a sociopathic idea as a garden variety neo-con slogan ('trade over aid'). In fact they are proposing U.S. corporations exploit poor countries as a trough they can eat from, subsidized by public funds, while eliminating lifesaving aid. Gift link: wapo.st/4tg4zI4

A lot to think about after today’s Sudan conference in Berlin. A country of 50 mn, over half of whom are acutely malnourished, and where (sexual) violence against women and girls is systematic. 11mn living in refugee camps in Sudan, 4.5mn in neighboring countries. Mindblowing violence and numbers.

🧵 "PEPFAR saves lives, spend the money!" Today, HIV/AIDS activists and former USAID employees took that message directly to OMB Director Russell Vought during a congressional hearing in D.C. and they weren't leaving quietly. (1/4)

On World TB Day, we are reminded that tuberculosis does not discriminate, but the global response still leaves many behind. From miners to people in remote communities, too many remain invisible. A TB response that misses people cannot succeed. Learn more: https://ow.ly/Nn1v50YxWO3

Last week in Zambia, Unitaid brought partners together for the SCALE-IT CCSE workshop, grounded in a shared conviction: without community, there is no project. Community leadership is not an add on, it is essential to building health innovations that are trusted, used and sustained.

At the CCSE workshop, Unitaid brought together other Unitaid-affiliated Community Advisory Boards in Zambia to share insights and experiences to support the new SCALE-IT Community Advisory Board, helping to build country-level synergies and strengthen support for new initiatives.
