Working Together Towards a Safer World...

PARTNERSHIPS
FOR CHANGE
o be effective and sustainable over the long term, action
on HIV/AIDS must involve many different government
departments and ministries. Partnerships with grassroots
organizations, universities and private industry must be
strengthened. Links with NGOs, AIDS service organizations and people living with HIV/AIDS are also essential for
understanding and relaying the concerns of those affected
by the epidemic.
An expanded response must draw in all the sectors that are
affected by the epidemic, can help alter its course or bring
resources to the fight. Among these are tourism, education, military, agriculture, transport and trade. And it needs
coordinated support from the many organizations of the
United Nations family.
UNAIDS strives to bring these partners together. It helps
individuals, communities and
countries to join the alliance )
against AIDS. Building on a
modest resource base,
UNAIDS is a catalyst for
commitment to a safer world.

THE RED
RIBBON
he red ribbon was
conceived in 1991
by a group of artists in
the United States who
wanted to draw attention to AIDS. Since
then the ribbon has
become an international
symbol of AIDS awareness and a visual
expression of support
for people affected by the epidemic. This is why UNAIDS has
chosen to incorporate the ribbon into its own logo.
