We are living through a moment of significant change in global health funding.
As international funding declines, communities across Africa are facing increasing challenges in responding to HIV and AIDS and related crises—making local, community-led support more important than ever.
Meg French will share inspirational stories and insights into the current global landscape and what these funding shifts mean for communities on the ground. The discussion will also explore Canada’s role in decades of progress—and how to sustain that momentum despite declining funding.
