Report by Chairperson – Ethiopia

The world is severely facing crisis at the moment. Even though President Obama had committed to continue PEPFAR, other urgent issues such as H1N1 had affected the agenda of HIV. WHO will revisit the treatment guideline since there were so many concerns raised regarding treatment, while the World Bank will release a report on “The Impact of Financial Crisis on HIV” in a few weeks. This report will be a good baseline to do advocacy accordingly to the statement from WFP which mentioned that the economic crisis had a great impact on poverty that affects the livelihood of PLHIV.
