DIRECTOR GENERAL’S MESSAGE
Over the past year, our organization has strengthened its coordination and management response to HIV, ensuring that prevention, treatment, and support services reach the most vulnerable communities. Through a multi-sectoral approach, we have enhanced collaboration between government agencies, healthcare providers, civil society organizations (CSOs), and international partners. This coordinated effort has enabled us to expand access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and other interventions to improve early diagnosis, and enhance community-based interventions. By integrating HIV programmes with broader healthcare services, we have not only increased efficiency but also reduced stigma and promoted a holistic approach to patient care.
Effective management and data-driven decision-making have been key pillars of our response. Strengthening monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems has allowed us to track progress, identify gaps, and adapt strategies to emerging needs. Capacity building initiatives for healthcare workers, combined with innovative outreach programs, have improved service delivery and patient retention. Looking ahead, we remain committed to scaling up evidence-based interventions, strengthening community systems, and mobilizing resources to sustain the progress made this far. Together, through collective action and strategic partnerships, we can move closer to achieving the goal of ending HIV as a public health threat.
