New Vision (Kampala) - October 5, 2002
Charles Ariko
The director, Uganda AIDS Commission, Dr. David Kihumuro Apuuli, said the World Bank decided that all funding towards HIV/AIDS programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa be in form of grants instead of loans.
Kihumuro said Uganda will soon be able to access these funds after accounting for the money previously allocated for various HIV/AIDS projects.
He was on Thursday briefing the media about the National AIDS Conference and HIV/AIDS Partnership Forum to be held from Oct 28-29 at the International Conference Centre, Kampala.
President Yoweri Museveni will officiate at the opening of the conference to be attended by over 1,000 participants.
