Lordina calls for partnership in fight against HIV

The First Lady, Mrs Lordina Mahama, has called for public-private partnerships (PPPs) to enhance the collaborative and sustained financing of HIV interventions.

That, she said, had become necessary since international financing had declined but African governments were compelled to meet the demands of their citizens despite the limited resources available to them. 

Mrs Mahama was addressing the 15th Ordinary Assembly of the Organisation of African First Ladies Against HIV and AIDS (OAFLA) in Johannesburg, South Africa last Monday.
The conference had the theme, “Enhancing partnerships to end AIDS by 2030 and to empower women in their sexual reproductive health and rights”.

The theme for the OAFLA conference was chosen in consonance with the agenda for the 25th African Union Summit, which revolves around the observance of the year 2015 as the year of women empowerment and development towards Africa’s Agenda 2063.
