RIATT-ESA and all its members welcome the Global Alliance because it is widely recognized that the global HIV response is failing to meet the needs of children
Beyond the ratifications of international and regional child rights instruments, as well as promulgation of impeccable laws, realization of children’s rights will not be actualized until adequate public resources are availed.
In 2018 RIATT-ESA carried-out a strategic planning exercise to review the course of the epidemic and the gaps in the children’s response in policy and programmes in the region. The new RIATT-ESA Strategy aims to address the gaps in the HIV response by responding to specific drivers of the resurgence of HIV infection among children, youth and young key populations.
