President of Ukraine

Foreward To the National Report on Monitoring Progress Towards

the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS

Ukraine was among the 189 countries of the world that, in June 2001 at the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS, adopted the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS.

Today the national report for 2006-2007 has been prepared on the implementation of this Declaration. It bears witness to the process of fulfilling its goals and committments.

At the national level in Ukraine, there has been a significant mobilization of activities aimed at responding to the epidemic, the scale of related programmes is expanding and the amount of state funding is increasing. Thanks to partnerships with international donors, foremost the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the number of people covered by prevention and treatment is increasing.

We work in close contact with the United Nations, Ukrainian and international nongovernmental structures, and with organizations of citizens living with HIV.

However, despite initial encouraging developments, the pace of the epidemic in Ukraine remains disappointing. The number of people living with HIV infection and AIDS is increasing. Based on expert estimates, 1.63% of the adult population is living with the immunodeficiency virus. These disturbing indicators require the maximum mobilization of the state and all of society.

In December 2007, the Coordinating Council for HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Drug Abuse was established under the personal supervision of the President of Ukraine, which will regularly monitor the national response to the epidemic. To achieve a reversal of the epidemic, in the coming five years it is necessary to consistently increase the scope of the response to HIV/AIDS in Ukraine, ensuring that each of our steps is strategically balanced, coordinated and effective.

We will do everything to ensure access to essential services for prevention, treatment, care and support for all those who are facing HIV/AIDS, and we will strengthen domestic and international partnership to achieve this goal.

Ukraine reaffirms its readiness to continue to implement the provisions of the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS.
