Brussels Metro Campaign Calls on EU to Invest €800M in the Global Fund to Save Lives

This week, commuters across the Brussels metro are invited to reflect on the real-world impact of global health investment. A commitment from the European Commission  of €800 million to the Global Fund could help save up to 1.2 million lives - roughly equivalent to the entire population of Brussels - making clear how vast and human the impact of this investment would be in the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. The campaign is led by Friends of the Global Fund Europe, ONE Campaign, Alliance for Public Health, Global Health Advocates, and Aidsfonds, as part of a broader joint appeal endorsed by 330 organisations across Europe and beyond. Together, they are calling on the European Commission to demonstrate leadership in global health by committing €800 million to the Global Fund ahead of its next Board meeting in February.

Sidaction and Aidsfonds fund four HIV cure research studies

For the second time, Sidaction and Aidsfonds have joined forces through an ambitious call for projects focused on HIV cure. We are pleased to announce the funding of four new research projects dedicated to advancing the HIV response. These granted initiatives address both the understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying viral persistence, the ethical and social challenges of clinical research, as well as the development of innovative immunotherapy approaches and the analysis of immune responses associated with durable viral control. The funding follows a joint 2025 call for proposals with the goal to find a cure for HIV. Congratulations to the project teams for the quality of their work and their strong commitment to research and public health.
