Commission on HIV/AIDS and Governance in Africa

The Commission on HIV/AIDS and Governance in Africa (CHGA) was convened in 2003 by then UN Secretary General Kofi Annan under the leadership of Wilson Center Senior African Policy Scholar K. Y. Amoako, then the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa(ECA).

The Final Report: "Securing Our Future"

The Final Report advances current scholarship in HIV/AIDS policy and governance and is the culmination of a unique consultation by CHGA Commissioners with a wide constituency in Africa and beyond. The findings and recommendations not only embody deep analytical insights derived from the Commission’s own research, but also reflect the views of the more than 1,000 Africans—including senior policymakers, advocacy groups, nongovernmental organizations, community-based organizations, people living with HIV/AIDS, research organizations, and UN agencies—who took part in the consultation process.

The report contains two volumes. The first is a 50-page policy summary, and the second is a 230-page technical volume supporting the core recommendations and key findings. The Woodrow Wilson Center will publish the final report and distribute it at no cost with the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
