Over P160 billion needed for 2010 HIV response

UNAIDS estimates that a US$25.1 billion investment is needed in 2010 to enable countries to reach universal access goals. The report explained that simply maintaining the current pace of increased investments would not be sufficient, as an additional US$11 billion is needed to reach the targets in 2010.

Since the launching of the UNICEF and the joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)'s Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS global campaign in 2005, substantial progress has been made in delivering HIV services to millions of people, particularly women, children and young people, the report says.
