The session is co-organized by Government of Kenya, UNAIDS and WHO, with the participation also from governmental representatives from Ghana and Rwanda, the civil society, the Global Fund to Fight Against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM), and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), to feature a dialogue about the mutual reinforcement of ending the AIDS epidemic and achieving universal health coverage (UHC) by 2030 in Africa. UHC has the potential to change the quality of lives of all people in Africa and serves as a critical input for sustainable development. The provision of an essential care package, including HIV, is critical for the achievement of UHC and ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030.
