To mark World AIDS Day the Overseas Development Institute hosted an event to discuss the future of the HIV response in the current financial environment. The aim was to raise awareness that the issues around HIV and AIDS should not be forgotten, despite the changing financial environment, and to discuss how all stakeholders can work in partnership to drive forward the response to HIV and AIDS. 

 

The presentations were followed by questions, discussions and key contributions from the organising partners. The event concluded with refreshments.
