The hotel InterContinental Geneva and UNAIDS have agreed to continue their partnership to highlight the urgent need to increase efforts to keep children free from HIV. At a signing ceremony held at UNAIDS headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, attended by the Executive Director of UNAIDS, Michel Sidibé, and the General Manager of the InterContinental Geneva, Jurgen Baumhoff, UNAIDS and the InterContinental Geneva committed to continue their Where History is Made alliance.
Where History is Made is a public–private partnership that focuses on ensuring that all children are born free from HIV, that their mothers have access to life-saving medicines and that all children living with HIV lead healthy lives. The collaboration has helped to raise visibility and new funds for UNAIDS’ work since 2013.
“The AIDS response needs to unlock untapped potential and maximize contributions from non-traditional donors to Fast-Track the AIDS response. The partnership with the hotel InterContinental Geneva has unlocked new opportunities for philanthropic and programmatic engagement and mobilized new actors for change.”
Michel Sidibé Executive Director of UNAIDS
“Private sector companies can be a catalyst for social change in the response to AIDS. We hope that our partnership will inspire and mobilize other companies to engage their employees and clients towards ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.”
Jurgen Baumhoff General Manager, hotel InterContinental Geneva
