To celebrate the 2007 and 2008 World AIDS Day theme of leadership, the World AIDS Campaign launched the Stop AIDS Leadership Pledge in November 2007. In collaboration with national, regional, global and constituent partners, this initiative asks people from all over the world to pledge their leadership to help stop AIDS. These pledges collected online, by mail and at events, will be used to create exhibitions, banners and other visibility actions during major events in 2008 and 2009. With a goal of at least 100,000 signees, these pledges serve as a persuasive tool for leveraging greater political leadership on universal access to AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support and act as a visual example for key national and international decision-makers to follow.
Take the Lead. People from all over the world have signed on their leadership to stop AIDS.
You can too!
“The impact of HIV/AIDS on Africa demands that we review the quality of leadership that we have across the continent. And by leadership, I am not referring to political leadership alone. I see leadership as cross cutting, relevant at cultural, spiritual, communal and family levels. It is my opinion that collective leadership at these various strata need to assume responsibility for our people and give a clear sense of direction, leading by personal example, integrity and sacrifice in the fight to stem the tide of the infection and mitigate its impact on our people.”
- Ayo Ipinmoye (Executive Secretary, CiSHAN)
