Transforming Vision into Reality

Overview

This Global Alliance Progress Report on Ending AIDS in Children by 2030 is the first comprehensive pediatric report on the global alliance countries since 2021. The report details progress, gaps and a way forward for the 12 countries (Angola, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe).

Ending AIDS in children by 2030 is possible, but the pace of progress needs to be accelerated. The report shows that only 48% of children living with HIV globally and in Global Alliance countries achieved viral load suppression, versus 73% of adults globally and 79% in Global Alliance countries. Close to 600 000 children globally were not receiving life-saving treatment in 2023, including 400 000 (close to 70%) living in the 12 Global Alliance countries.

A renewed commitment to closing the gaps to HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care for children and adolescents is needed as well as enhanced support for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, and women of reproductive age. We must innovate differently, putting communities at the center to provide accelerated access to HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care for children and adolescents, and provide robust support for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
