Looking Forward to AIDS 2024

The AIDS 2024 conference offers a unique opportunity for leaders and advocates from around the world to share expertise that advances the global HIV response. As EGPAF delegates get ready to head to Munich, we asked them a simple question - “What are you looking forward to at AIDS 2024?”. ?

Akwila Temu,? Senior Technical Advisor – Pediatrics and Youth Services, EGPAF-Tanzania??

“I am looking forward to learning from different experts in HIV/AIDS management, what it means to put people first, and how I can translate that into practice.”?

Catherine Connor, VP Public Policy & Advocacy??

“It is all advocacy for me. I can’t wait to meet up with anyone who is willing to talk about what needs to be done to improve outcomes for women and children in the HIV response.” ?

Patrice Tchendjou, Country Director, EGPAF-Cameroon??

“I will pay a lot of attention to children and adolescent work because as we know achieving epidemic control that does not include children and adolescents is not epidemic control.” ?

Juma Songoro, Senior Manager - HIV Programs, EGPAF-Tanzania ?

“I am expecting to network with other professionals, share ideas and gain insights that will help my daily work.” ?

Chip Lyons, President & CEO??

“I am going to be doing a lot of listening, particularly to African leaders. I think we are moving into a phase where African leadership is going to really be determining the sustainability of services and the longevity of the HIV and AIDS response, inclusive of the 0-14 population.” ?

Patricia Fassinou, Regional Senior Technical Advisor for Pediatric Services?

“I am looking forward to putting children first.”?
