Health Minister, Brian Chituwo says forging partnerships in the fight against HIV-AIDS will help reduce on the wastage of resources in combating the pandemic.
Dr. Chituwo said the overwhelming donor support towards HIV/AIDS in Zambia needs to be well co-ordinated.
He said the high support from the donor community towards AIDS programmes is testimony of the government’s good policies.
Dr. CHITUWO said this at a signing ceremony for a financing agreement with ten co-operating partners at the National Aids Council in the Zambian capital, Lusaka, Thursday.
Ten co-operating partners are to provide $10 million financing to the National Aids Council for HIV activities.
And head of the British Department for International Development (DFID) in Zambia Joy Hutcheon, said her country is aware that Zambia is among the worst nations affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
Ms. Hutcheon said HIV/AIDS poses a serious threat to Zambia’s development agenda.
She said there is need to scale up the fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS.
