The ESCAP Resolutions 66/10 and 67/9 call upon all of us, governments, civil society and international partners, in this region with a geographical scope that stretches from Turkey in the West to the Pacific island nation of Kiribati in the East, and from the Russian Federation in the North to New Zealand in the South, home to more than 4 billion people, two-thirds of world’s population, to take action to achieve universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support. This call will now be amplified by Nepal’s voice calling to “Ending AIDS, by 2030.”Nepal, inspired by the United Nations Secretary General’s synthesis report “The Road to Dignity by 2030,” reaffirms to build critical programmatic and social enablers for success. ESCAP resolutions include actions to address prejudice and discrimination, and treating “universal access” as a human right. For Nepal, ending AIDS is not just a political statement, it is about an achievable goal; sharing responsibility, collective accountability,and safeguarding regional solidarity. In this room, we are part of history; hopefully stories of success we can tell to our children and their children, backed-up by science, evidence and common-sense. The Resolutions call upon the ESCAP members and associate members to improve financial sustainability, by allocating a greater proportion of national resources to HIV, and to improve programmatic effectiveness, by investing in high-impact activities for key populations. Nepal, through its HIV Investment Plan 2014 to 2016 has answered these calls. This “Nepal HIV Investment Plan” directs Government, civil society, national institutions and our international partners to achieve results, by prioritizing strategic, evidence-informed, and innovative approaches to keep people healthy, and avert new HIV infections. It is an on-going dialogue within the country, working with partners across sectors, to implement game changers, where partners are not just partners; they own their initiatives.
