In welcoming you to this 12th meeting of the PCB, I want to reflect on what has been a momentous year. For the first time, there is a real sense that the scale of the global HIV epidemic will be matched by the scale of the response. UNAIDS is now clearly operating in a very different context than when we started six years ago. And it is fair to say that we have been a major actor in shaping this different environment. This presentation will focus on how we are responding to the new reality.

Impacts on productivity, including agriculture, lead to knock-on effects in households. In the private sector AIDS undermines development by killing skilled and unskilled labour alike, increasing expenditures and reducing revenue.
