The Rush Foundation has partnered with the Copenhagen Consensus Centre to create RethinkHIV. We have commissioned a group of leading health economists and epidemiologists to analyse current HIV policy and reframe the debate around more effective ways of tackling the pandemic. Their findings were prioritised by a panel of experts, including three Nobel laureates, at Georgetown University in September. The priorities will help policy-makers and donors choose HIV/AIDS interventions with the highest pay-offs in a world of limited resources.
We are currently designing a three-year grant programme with ActionAid aimed at generating ground-breaking, sustainable approaches to HIV provision in sub-Saharan Africa. We jointly ran an innovation workshop in Nairobi in September aimed at stimulating new ideas for final submissions in mid-October.
