Community action essential to deliver the SDGs
www.aidsalliance.org - "The Alliance, together with other partners, is organising a side event at the upcoming UN High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) to showcase the critical role of communities in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Many of the 17 goals and 169 targets of the SDGs are interlinked and thus call for integrated solutions. Decades of experience in the global AIDS response has demonstrated how communities affected by HIV have a whole range of needs that cannot be addressed by providing HIV services alone. We also need to tackle the structural, social and economic drivers of the epidemic, taking a holistic and integrated people-centred approach.
(...) We call for more investment in local communities! (Photo: World Bank Photo Collection/fickr, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)
