AMICAALL Namibia, Alliance of Mayors and Municipal Leaders on HIV & AIDS in Namibia
The Namibian AMICAALL chapter was launched November 2001, hosted by the Government of Namibia and City of Windhoek. The National Chapter provides technical and other support to the Local Authorities in Namibia.
After a symposium organized during the International Conference on AIDS in 1997, which was supported by UNAIDS, UNDP and other partners, The Alliance of Mayors and Municipal Leaders on HIV/AIDS in Africa (the Alliance) was launched in 1998 in Côte d’Ivoire by over 100 committed African Mayors who wanted to address the impact of HIV/AIDS on their communities. They acknowledged the importance of strong political leadership for an effective response to HIV/AIDS and consequently adopted the ‘Abidjan Declaration’, a call to action on the epidemic by all Mayors and local authorities in Africa. The Alliance aims to make the response to HIV and AIDS a concern and responsibility of local government through a founding strategic framework called AMICAALL – the Alliance of Mayors Initiative for Community Action on AIDS at the Local Level.
