The Global Conference on Gearing Macroeconomic Policies to Reverse the HIV/AIDS Epidemic is being organized because the disbursement of funding for HIV/AIDS programmes, which has risen sharply in recent years, is being hampered by restrictive macroeconomic policies. The Conference will bring together economists, HIV/AIDS specialists, government policymakers, policy specialists of the U.N., the Bretton Woods Institutions and bilateral agencies, and NGO representatives from all over the world in order to discuss and debate the issues related to “Macroeconomics and HIV/AIDS” and identify appropriate macroeconomic responses.
