NERCHA exists to provide leadership for the national multisectoral response to HIV/AIDS, including creating an environment that supports efficient and effective service delivery to the people of the Kingdom of Eswatini.
The meeting aims to share key information on the Eswatini HIV and AIDS response including the funding landscape and the discussion of the road map for the establishment of the network for people living with HIV.
The impact of this funding, according to the Eswatini HIV Incidence Measurement Survey (SHIMS 2), has seen a drastic decline of new HIV infections in the kingdom by almost half (44%) from 2.5 per cent to 1.4 per cent among adults (ages 18-49 years). With regards to TB, the rising notification of TB cases has been halted and there has been a drop in the number of TB cases over time, since 2011, when government declared TB as an emergency.
