Abstract

In January 2009 Michel Sidibé assumed leadership of the Secretariat of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) from its founding Executive Director, Dr. Peter Piot. With this transition the role of the organization is examined in order to continue an effective global response to HIV and AIDS. The report draws on a series of interviews and global consultations (annexes B and C). UNAIDS plays a key role in holding both donor and other country governments accountable by tracking commitments that have been made and forging deeper commitments for a long-term response to the pandemic.
