Global Alliance champions

Community champions for children

Within the framework of the Global Alliance to End AIDS in Children by 2030, 15 Community Champions for Children were appointed in February 2024 by Networks of People Living with HIV (GNP+, Y+, and ICW) across seven of the twelve Alliance countries (Cameroon, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, and Zambia).

These Champions work in close collaboration with technical teams to amplify community perspectives, address critical challenges, and prioritize the needs of children and adolescents living with HIV, alongside their caregivers, in strategic decision-making as HIV response initiatives are expanded and fortified. Leveraging digital platforms, many of these Champions are actively enhancing awareness of the Global Alliance’s mission, fostering increased engagement and support for children and adolescents affected by HIV and reinforcing community-driven advocacy efforts. These Champions are supported by ViiV Healthcare Positive Action.
