In 2015, governments made an ambitious commitment under the Sustainable Development Goals to end the AIDS pandemic. While remarkable progress has been made towards achieving these goals, we are still off-track to meeting this target. New infections remain high, while stigma, discrimination, and violence threaten the progress that has been made. As activists, we need to step up or efforts to hold our governments accountable for the commitments they made. To do this we must listen to the voices of those most affected by the pandemic.

On Human Rights Day, 10 December 2020, ARASA launched its new report Expanding Needs. Diminishing Needs, which shows a steady decline in funding for social enablers an overall over the past 3-5 years. The report also warns that COVID-19 has also impacted the funding environment for civil society and community-based organisations, arguing that at a critical moment when many CSOs are experiencing an unprecedented demand for their services, their funding is under threat, or uncertain.
