What We Do
Advancing sustainable health financing and health sovereignty through evidence, advocacy and collaboration.
01
African-Led Advocacy and Policy Influence
The global health landscape is changing rapidly, with shifting aid priorities, less predictable external financing, and new transition arrangements placing greater responsibility on African governments to sustain HIV services. The African-led HIV Control Working Group (HCWG) is a vital advocacy voice, convening leaders across government, civil society, communities, academia, and regional institutions to ensure that Africa shapes, rather than merely receives, the next generation of global health decisions.
02
Sustainable HIV Financing and Accountable Transitions
HCWG advocates for a just and accountable HIV financing transition that protects hard-won gains in prevention, treatment, and care. It calls for transition arrangements that do not transfer responsibility to countries without the necessary financing, technical capacity, and implementation time to sustain essential services.
03
Health Sovereignty and Stronger Health Systems
HCWG advances health sovereignty through country-led priority setting, increased and better-targeted domestic investment, meaningful community participation, and transparent accountability for national governments and global partners. By championing the integration of HIV into universal health coverage, primary health care, and health-security systems, HCWG makes the case that sustaining the HIV response is inseparable from building stronger, more equitable health systems across Africa.
