- ItemAfrican voices and leadership is imperative for the global AIDS response(Pan African Medical Journal, 2019-02-22) Mbopi-Keou, Francois-Xavier; Williams, Brian; Belec, Laurent; Kalla, Ginette Claude Mireille; Ndoye, Ibra; Konate, Mamadou Henri; Mensah, Tina GiftyThis position paper is written in reference to the recent extensive media coverage of the report of the Independent Panel describing Harassment, Including Sexual Harassment, Bullying and Abuse of Power at UNAIDS Secretariat by several newspapers and authoritative journals such as Science and The Lancet. Unfortunately, none of these publications provide any clear evidence to support the accusations and merely repeat what are, in our view, unsubstantiated statements made in the report. Given the critical role that Africans have played in dealing with one of the most severe epidemics that the world has seen and the gravity of these charges, we believe it is essential to reaffirm that African voices and leadership is imperative for the global AIDS response.
