Home > About ADF 2000 > Objectives & Aims

The overall objective of the ADF 2000 is to serve as a major launching pad for a new level of commitment and action against HIV/AIDS as a major threat to the development of the continent. This will be achieved by highlighting positive regional, national, and local experiences and by developing proposals for action.

The Forum will:

Take stock of progress made to date, review decisions from major conferences and evaluate actions taken;

 

Analyse the impact the epidemic is having on development in Africa; and

 

Agree on broad strategy milestones for tackling HIV/AIDS as an emergency;

 

Make commitments to support groups and partners in order to move the HIV/AIDS agenda forward;

 

Identify major actions for overcoming key obstacles dealing dealing with HIV/AIDS in various areas;

 

Identify arrangements and mechanisms for follow up throughout the year;

 

Examine the resource implications for a concerted effort by both African governments and their international partners.

 

3-7 December 2000, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
