World disaster report 2008: focus on HIV and AIDS
HIV and AIDS confront the world with many challenges. Humanitarian organizations have worked hard to meet them and to make up for a lack of action in the first years of the epidemic. But far, far more needs to be done, in partnership with governments but also, above all, with communities whose wisdom and resilience offer so much to the HIV response. That is why IFRC has selected HIV as the theme for this year’s World Disasters Report.
