2014 Progress Report on the Global Plan

Publications - Released in 2014

This report reflects the results of data for the calendar year 2013. For the first time since the 1990s, the number of new HIV infections among children in the 21 Global Plan priority countries in sub-Saharan Africa dropped to under 200 000 [170 000–230 000]. This represents a 43% decline in the number of new HIV infections among children in these 21 countries since 2009, providing reasons for optimism as the Global Plan pushes towards its 2015 goals of 90% reduction. However, there are also reasons for concern. Between 2012 and 2013 the pace of progress in reducing new HIV infections among children across the priority countries slowed substantially. While a number of countries made impressive gains, others stagnated or lost ground.

As the Global Plan makes the final push towards 2015, it is critical to consolidate the significant gains that have been made in many countries, to accelerate progress where results have stalled or reversed direction and to redouble our collective efforts towards the elimination of new HIV infections among children and keeping their mothers alive.
