| description | Malawi has come a long way in responding to the HIV and AIDS pandemic and recognises that the National HIV and AIDS Response is mature and must continue to receive increased support and commitment from all stakeholders. It is against this background that institutional frameworks and modalities have been put in place for an effective multi-sectoral response based on the “three zeros” principle which are: zero new HIV infections, zero AIDS related deaths and zero discrimination. As the Minister responsible, I have matched my commitment by maintaining a coordinating secretariat headed by a Principal Secretary within my office. Further, l ensured that HIV and AIDS is a priority area in the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy II. I also ensured that at least two percent of ORT funds allocated be used for the implementation of HIV and AIDS Workplace Programmes in all the public institutions. My Government realises that there is need to further increase the stewardship, ownership and respect for; protection and fulfilment of the relevant human rights and fundamental freedoms in accordance with the Constitution of Malawi and existing international human rights standards and this second edition National HIV and AIDS Policy demonstrate efforts to fulfil these considerations. My Government is grateful for the technical and financial support received from the numerous partners to ensure the actualization of the Policy and continued support in the development and implementation of the National Response. I, therefore, call upon all Malawians, stakeholders and development partners for continued support to Government in the implementation of the Policy and its Strategic Plan with sustained commitment in order to win the fight against the HIV and AIDS pandemic. |
