Frontline AIDS: Reports reveal global HIV response at ‘critical turning point’

Back to the "HIV and Co-Infections News" list

Frontline AIDS’ new reports reveal how eight African countries are responding to the shift from international donor funding to sustainable, locally-led HIV responses.

On World AIDS Day, Frontline AIDS released the first country reports from its landmark Transition Initiative, revealing the most detailed evidence yet of how unprecedented cuts to international HIV funding are playing out across Africa. The reports cover eight African countries, five of which are directly participating in the initiative.

Frontline AIDS’ Transition Initiative was launched in May 2025 to empower communities and civil society to shape the transition of HIV services from international donors to sustainably financed government- and community-led systems. Its aim is a future where local communities are at the heart of HIV service delivery, with governments as strong, accountable partners, ensuring access to prevention, treatment and care for all.

The reports were developed by coalitions of people living with HIV, young people, key populations and civil society organisations across eight African countries: Angola, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe.

Key findings of the reports are summarised here.
