Message from Director

new HIV infections to fewer than 500 000 by 2020, from more than 1.8 million in 2016. Three interconnected reasons seem to underpin the failure to implement effective programmes at scale: lack of political commitment and, as a result, inadequate investments; reluctance to address sensitive issues related to young people’s
sexual and reproductive needs and rights, and to key populations and harm reduction; and a lack of systematic prevention implementation, even where policy environments permit it
