1. Reaching the other half of Children affected and living with HIV and AIDS by aidsfocus.ch Conference 14th April 2010, Bern Stefan Germann, World Vision International, Geneva

2. Universal Access by 2010 ? The ‘silent’ shift to 2015
What is the new global mobilization call? “Reaching the other half”
A new push for 2015 is needed

3. Stock taking Progress has been made: PMTCT expansion
Pediatric treatment care/protection
Areas where little progress was made:
Early infant HIV diagnosis
Cotrimoxazole preventative therapy
Youth prevention

4. Stock taking conclusion
We have to acknowledge, where significant progress has been achieved it has generally been made with those people and locations that have been relatively easy to reach, the so-called “low hanging fruit.” The larger challenge remains: to reach those most marginalised and hardest to reach. An effective strategy and action plan is needed to reach those children still barely touched by the HIV response.

5. MDG tracking can be missleading?
The success of Global AIDS response may make MDG 6 a “victim of success”

Increase advocacy budgets and enhance joint efforts
Move from vertical to diagonal programming, better integration, family centred, community systems strengthening
