World Vision HIV and AIDS 2020 Strategy: Getting to Zero for Children

World Vision International - "In its 2015 strategy, UNAIDS shared the vision for getting to zero new infections, zero AIDS-related deaths and zero discrimination. We celebrate that, since 2000, new HIV infections among children have declined by 58%. With increased accesses to treatment, AIDS-related deaths have declined by more than 42%. However, there is still much work to be done as we strive towards getting to zero for children.

(...) Our strategies must reach the most vulnerable to ensure that no one is left behind. World Vision is joining this fast track to end AIDS with a revised HIV and AIDS Vision 2020 Strategy. Four strategic objectives (SOs) will put greater focus on the involvement and needs of World Vision's priority beneficiaries, the most vulnerable mothers, children, adolescents and key populations- and on the locations and populations with the highest HIV burden, while addressing social and legal barriers and championing human rights and gender equality. The revised strategy will focus on interventions that hasten access to prevention, care and treatment to ensure that children and adolescents infected and affected by HIV and AIDS will survive and thrive."
