Breakthrough Partnership continues for three years
Last updated on: 04 March 2024
The Breakthrough Partnership will continue for three years until 2026. Initiated and funded by ViiV Healthcare Positive Action in 2020, the partnership aims to create sustainable change to end paediatric HIV in regions most urgent. As Aidsfonds we are exited to continue as partner in this ambitious collaboration together with EGPAF, PATA and UNICEF to continue our impactful work in Uganda, Nigeria and Mozambique.
The Breakthrough Partnership
The partnership strengthens collaborations between community, health facilities, government, health care providers and civil society, with communities at the centre, to prevent mother to child transmission and provide HIV treatment and care to reach all children living with HIV and their mothers in the community. Through this collaboration, the Breakthrough Partnership aims to end paediatric AIDS and HIV transmission by 2030
In three Breakthrough countries we work with our valuable community partners to implement the community-based paediatric HIV approach: Community Health Alliance Uganda (CHAU), the National Forum of People living with HIV and AIDS Networks Uganda (NAFOPHANU) and Health Need Uganda, with N’weti in Mozambique and with Society for Family Health in Nigeria.
The Paediatric HIV Breakthrough Partnership is an ambitious initiative committed to ending paediatric HIV in regions most urgent. It aims to strengthen collaboration between community, health facilities, government, health care providers and civil society, placing communities at the heart of the response. Aidsfonds, together with the Elisabeth Glaser Pediatric Foundation, PATA and UNICEF, collaborates in this partnership which was initiated and funded by ViiV Healthcare Positive Action.

From Barrier to Bridge – How a Network is Building Bonds Between Police and Communities
For the longest time, the absence of law enforcement at the table has been a critical missing piece in the jigsaw of HIV prevention and public health interventions. Whether through prejudice, lack of access to services, stigma and discrimination, public health outcomes are greatly affected by criminalisation. The lives of LGBTIQ+ people, sex workers and people who use drugs are disrupted daily through state sanctioned violence and criminalisation enacted by law enforcement. Recognising this gap, Aidsfonds, in close collaboration with its partners stepped in, bringing together communities, health service providers and law enforcement. Munya has been at the heart of this work, helping translate that collaboration into tangible change.
Our response to Dutch coalition agreement: reclaim leadership role in sexual health
Our response to Dutch coalition agreement: reclaim leadership role in sexual health
Aidsfonds – Soa Aids Nederland responds positively to the Dutch coalition agreement presented on Friday, January 30 by D66, VVD and CDA. In particular, the additional investments in international cooperation and the increased focus on prevention in healthcare are important steps forward. The organisation stresses that this is the moment for the government to reclaim the Netherlands’ leadership role in sexual health, both nationally and internationally.
