We are thrilled that the Ministry has shown its commitment to improve the life and rights of those most marginalised groups in the HIV response. The Love Alliance looks forward to work to improve health and rights of those communities most affected by HIV and AIDS, across the African continent.

Mark Vermeulen, director Aidsfonds

The Love Alliance brings together organisations led by communities most affected by HIV and AIDS. From across Africa thought leaders (GALZ, SANPUD, Sisonke), grant-makers (UHAI EASHRI, AFE, ISDAO) and the global network of people living with HIV (GNP+) have joined forces. Aidsfonds is the Dutch administrative lead.

The Love Alliance will work to improve the health and rights of sex workers, people who use drugs, LGBTIQ+ people and people living with HIV in Africa. Together they will work towards a significant reduction in HIV incidence by influencing policies, organising communities and raising awareness on rights and health in ten countries.

The Love Alliance looks forward to work with the Ministry in the coming months to further shape the programme. In this process the Alliance partners will engage and mobilise new partners through participatory grant making. More information on the partnership will be shared in the coming months on Aidsfonds.org.
