Towards a Global HIV Prevention Coalition and Road Map

A new effort is urgently needed to reinvigorate primary HIV prevention. It needs to build on lessons learned from previous prevention initiatives and other successful initiatives, such as the Global plan towards the elimination of new HIV infections among children by 2015 and keeping their mothers alive, which successfully galvanized efforts to reduce new child infections.

The overarching goal of the Global HIV Prevention Coalition will be to strengthen and sustain political commitment for primary prevention by setting a common agenda among key policy-makers, funders and programme implementers. It also will seek to establish accountability for delivering services at scale. Success requires country ownership and commitment plus global and national actions. The Prevention Coalition will launch the Prevention2020 Road Map, engage stakeholders and leaders in its effective implementation, monitoring, and annual reporting on progress.
