    Introduction:

    AMICAALL is a concept of the Alliance of Mayors and Municipal Leaders on HIV and AIDS in Africa.  It is a strategy for community action on HIV and AIDS at the local level.  AMICAALL-Swaziland is tasked with the responsibility of building the capacity for urban grass-roots communities and municipalities to respond to the AIDS epidemic.  In May 2000, the ACBF Executive Board approved a grant of US$ 1,060,000 to AMICAALL as a ‘special intervention’ project.  In December 2005, the Executive Board approved additional grant of US$ 1 million to AMICAALL.

    Project Description:

    The goal of the project was to increase coverage, improve effectiveness and access to HIV and AIDS interventions, for the purpose of slowing down and eventually turning around the epidemic and its resultant effects among the members of the urban public and urban local government institutions.

The recognition of ACBF as the African Union’s Specialized Agency for Capacity Development launches the beginning of a new era for capacity building by ACBF, which will require an appropriate level of political commitment and financial support from all stakeholders.

The remarkable achievements ACBF has registered over the past 26 years is not by accident in our opinion. They have come through hard work, dedication, commitment, purposeful leadership, support from the member countries as well as productive partnership building.

Africa needs ACBF as much, probably more now, than at the time it was created in 1991.

Ghana’s partnership with ACBF is a tremendous blessing for us and therefore the opportunity for Ghana to host the 26th ACBF Board of Governors Meeting is something that we treasure.
