A/RES/70/266
Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS: On the Fast Track to Accelerating
the Fight against HIV and to Ending the AIDS Epidemic by 2030
AIDS epidemic by 2030 and positively contributing to a wide range of development
outcomes;
59 (b). Commit to increasing and fully funding the AIDS response from all sources,
including from innovative financing, and reaching overall financial investments in
developing countries of at least 26 billion dollars per year by 2020, as estimated by
the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, with a continued increase from
the current levels of domestic public and private sources, according to each
country’s capacity, supplemented by public and private international assistance and
strengthened global solidarity, and urge all stakeholders to contribute to a successful
fifth and subsequent replenishments of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis
and Malaria;
59 (c). Call upon all relevant stakeholders to close the global HIV and AIDS
resource gap between the resources available today and the resource s needed to
reach the fast-track targets by 2020;
59 (d). Reaffirm our strong commitment to the full and timely implementation of
the concrete policies and actions of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda in order to close
the global HIV and AIDS resource gap and to fully fund the HIV and AIDS response
with the target of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030. The Addis Ababa Action
Agenda relates to domestic public resources, domestic and international private
business and finance, international development cooperation, international trade as
an engine for development, debt and debt sustainability, addressing systemic issues
and science, technology, innovation and capacity-building, and data, monitoring and
follow-up;
59 (e). Acknowledge that, for all countries, public policies and the mobilization of
domestic resources, underscored by the principle of national ownership, are central
to our common pursuit of sustainable development, including achieving the
Sustainable Development Goals, and remain committed to further strengthening the
mobilization and effective use of domestic resources;
59 (f). Further acknowledge that private business activity, investment and
innovation are major drivers of productivity, inclusive economic growth and job
creation and that private investment capital flows, particularly foreign direct
investment, along with a stable international financial system, are vital complements
to national development efforts;
59 (g). Recognize that international public finance plays an important role in
complementing the efforts of countries to mobilize public resources domestically,
especially in the poorest and most vulnerable countries with limited domestic
resources. Scaled up and more effective international support, including both
concessional and non-concessional financing, is required;
59 (h). Reiterate that the fulfilment of all official development assistance (ODA)
commitments remains crucial. ODA providers reaffirm their respective ODA
commitments, including the commitment by many developed countries to a chieve
the target of 0.7 per cent of gross national income for official development
assistance (ODA/GNI) and 0.15 to 0.20 per cent of ODA/GNI to least developed
countries. We are encouraged by those few countries that have met or surpassed
their commitment to 0.7 per cent of ODA/GNI and the target of 0.15 to 0.20 per cent
of ODA/GNI to least developed countries. We urge all others to step up efforts to
increase their ODA and to make additional concrete efforts towards their ODA
targets. We welcome the decision by the European Union which reaffirms its
collective commitment to achieve the 0.7 per cent of ODA/GNI target within the
