About the CampaignFive years ago, world leaders came together to agree on the Millennium Development Goals, setting targets for reducing poverty, increasing health care and education and halting the spread of HIV/AIDS. Unless the world takes into account the impact of HIV/AIDS on children the chances of meeting these goals grow slim. That is why UNICEF has launched the Global Campaign on Children and AIDS. The campaign, which will last from 2005 – 2010, urges the world to come together, urgently and decisively, to ensure the next generation of children can grow up in a world free of AIDS.
