2010 World AIDS Day celebrated in Ghana
The Jubilee Park in the twin cities of Sekondi-Takoradi, the capital of the Western Region in Ghana was the scene of a very colourful 2010 World AIDS Day Celebration. The well organized function, honorably graced by His Excellency Mr John Dramani Mahama, the Vice President of Ghana, was attended by people from all walks of life ranging from school children, civil society organizations, persons living with HIV (PLHIV), chiefs and traditional rulers to Development partners.
The occasion was used to outdoor Ghana’s five-year National Strategic Plan that will guide HIV programming over the period 2011 to 2015. In launching the plan, the vice president re-iterated government’s commitment to provide strong leadership for the national response to HIV.
