NEW YORK, 28 August 2009: UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé is paying his first official visit to Rwanda from 27 August to 3 September to recognize and support the achievements of the Government of Rwanda in the hiv response and conduct high-level advocacy for universal access to hiv services and the Millennium Development Goals.
Mr Sidibé will meet with the President of Rwanda, H.E. Paul Kagame, and the First Lady of Rwanda, H.E. Jeanette Kagame, to discuss the current global and regional opportunities and challenges in tackling hiv and how they will influence the long-term aids response in Rwanda and across Africa.
Meetings are also scheduled with representatives from the private sector, civil society, including people living with hiv, and high-level representatives from the government and UN agencies. The meetings will provide an opportunity to address the United Nations’ support in Rwanda’s hiv response.
