A/RES/60/262
36. Commit ourselves, invite international financial institutions and the Global
Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, according to its policy framework,
and encourage other donors, to provide additional resources to low- and middleincome countries for the strengthening of HIV/AIDS programmes and health
systems and for addressing human resources gaps, including the development of
alternative and simplified service delivery models and the expansion of the
community-level provision of HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support, as
well as other health and social services;
37. Reiterate the need for Governments, United Nations agencies, regional and
international organizations and non-governmental organizations involved with the
provision and delivery of assistance to countries and regions affected by conflicts,
humanitarian emergencies or natural disasters to incorporate HIV/AIDS prevention,
care and treatment elements into their plans and programmes;
38. Pledge to provide the highest level of commitment to ensuring that costed,
inclusive, sustainable, credible and evidence-based national HIV/AIDS plans are
funded and implemented with transparency, accountability and effectiveness, in line
with national priorities;
39. Commit ourselves to reducing the global HIV/AIDS resource gap through
greater domestic and international funding to enable countries to have access to
predictable and sustainable financial resources and ensuring that international
funding is aligned with national HIV/AIDS plans and strategies; and in this regard
welcome the increased resources that are being made available through bilateral and
multilateral initiatives, as well as those that will become available as a result of the
establishment of timetables by many developed countries to achieve the targets of
0.7 per cent of gross national product for official development assistance by 2015
and to reach at least 0.5 per cent of gross national product for official development
assistance by 2010 as well as, pursuant to the Brussels Programme of Action for the
Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2001–2010, 2 0.15 per cent to 0.20 per
cent for the least developed countries no later than 2010, and urge those developed
countries that have not yet done so to make concrete efforts in this regard in
accordance with their commitments;
40. Recognize that the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS has
estimated that 20 to 23 billion United States dollars per annum is needed by 2010 to
support rapidly scaled-up AIDS responses in low- and middle-income countries, and
therefore commit ourselves to taking measures to ensure that new and additional
resources are made available from donor countries and also from national budgets
and other national sources;
41. Commit ourselves to supporting and strengthening existing financial
mechanisms, including the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, as
well as relevant United Nations organizations, through the provision of funds in a
sustained manner, while continuing to develop innovative sources of financing, as
well as pursuing other efforts, aimed at generating additional funds;
42. Commit ourselves also to finding appropriate solutions to overcome barriers in
pricing, tariffs and trade agreements, and to making improvements to legislation,
regulatory policy, procurement and supply chain management in order to accelerate
