3. Targets
HIV-related deaths reduced to below 287,000 from a baseline of 790,000;
90% of people diagnosed with HIV receive antiretroviral therapy
New HIV infections reduced to from the baseline of 1,400,000
90% of people living with HIV and key populations report no discrimination in the health sector.
All countries have integrated essential HIV/AIDS services into national health financing arrangements.

10. Implications for Africa
Almost 26 million in Africa are now eligible for antiretroviral medicines.
Programmatic implications
Integrated delivery of HIV service across all programmes
Institutionalising appropriate community based service delivery models
Health systems implications
Design stronger procurement and supply management systems
More efficient patient monitoring will be needed,
Laboratory capacity for viral load testing will have to be strengthened
Innovative use of human resources
Significant financial implications

11. What countries need to do
Provide the required leadership for the national HIV/AIDS response
Continue the dialogue necessary to ensure that national standards of HIV prevention and treatment are keeping pace with important scientific developments.
Initiate discussions on financing the HIV response with a view to increase domestic resources and international support
Address social and legal barriers that may be impeding progress.
Review national HIV/AIDS strategic and operational plans

12. CONCLUSION
Significant progress towards the targets of the regional HIV/AIDS framework
Progress is not even as the WCA region is being left behind: critical to emphasize the WCA Catch up plan to triple the ART coverage by 2020,
New HIV infections are not declining as fast as needed especially among adults. HIV Prevention among children, adolescents, young women should be given preeminence among
Need for increased/sustained leadership, accountability and real time monitoring
Strategies hinged on human rights principles are required to fast-track the response towards ending the AIDS epidemic
