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.

330 organisations call for EC pledge ahead of Global Fund board meeting
330 organisations call for EC pledge ahead of Global Fund board meeting
On November 21, donors fell short of the Global Fund’s USD 18 billion target - a disappointing outcome at a time when increased support for HIV, TB and malaria is urgently needed.
Now, 330 organisations worldwide are urging the European Commission to confirm a €800 million pledge ahead of the February 2026 Board Meeting. This would help ensure timely funding for country programmes and unlock €400 million in US matching funds.
The Nov. 21 outcome fell short, but a stronger result is still possible - and the European Commission and EU Member States can play a key role, in line with Europe’s leadership in global health.
