UNAIDS Executive Director holds first face-to-face meeting with key donors

UNAIDS - "Ahead of the opening of the Nairobi Summit on ICPD25, the Executive Director of UNAIDS, Winnie Byanyima, and Peter Eriksson, the Minister for International Development Cooperation of Sweden, co-hosted a ministerial breakfast meeting with key donors and partners to highlight the need for a strong UNAIDS to lead the global response to HIV.

It was Ms Byanyima’s first face-to-face meeting with some of UNAIDS’ key donors and partners in her capacity as the Executive Director of UNAIDS, during which she pledged to take a feminist approach in taking the organization forward.

“UNAIDS is at a critical juncture as it emerges from the challenges of the past two to three years, and the staff will be my first priority; we need healing, trust-building and closure. I want to bring back the joy in the great work of UNAIDS,” said Ms Byanyima." (Photo: Norad - Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation/flickr, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)
