African Union: Addressing the HIV/AIDS Epidemic – Double Delegation
Due to the recent dissolution of USAID and the general aid pulling out of the Global South, the African Union has been facing challenges in finding alternative funding to provide healthcare across Africa. Topic A will address the HIV/AIDS epidemic, as the general response was dependent upon this, and now it must find new routes towards recovery. Topic B will address the disproportional impacts on women and children of poor socioeconomic backgrounds.
This committee will be larger in size and run as a Double Delegation.
