Launch of the Commission on HIV/AIDS and Governance in Africa (CHGA): Address by K.Y. Amoako, executive secretary of the economic commission for Africa (ECA)

Address by K.Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) at the Launch of the Commission on HIV/AIDS and Governance in Africa (CHGA). Dr. Amoako,on his remarks highlighted that, governance as society's ability to maintain efficient public institutions, to produce and execute sound policies, deliver quality public services, promote the rule of law, and provide an enabling environment for the public sector and civil society to play their respective roles. In that context, HIV/AIDS must clearly be seen as the most critical challenge to governance on our continent today. The governance challenges of the pandemic occur at all levels and all sectors of society. African governments, the cost of failing to fully appreciate the development implications of HIV/AIDS and in particular the need to keep HIV infected people alive for as long as humanly possible, will be too high to contemplate.
