Rwanda is among the countries that were selected in 2007 as one of eight pilot countries for the One UN initiative. The objective of the One UN pilot is to enable the UN System to provide a more effective and coherent response to the needs of the Government of Rwanda and its Development Partners. In order to effectively provide this coherence and effectiveness, the ONE UN in Rwanda encourages the development and implementation of joint interventions, during which a number of agencies come together to support key strategic initiatives at country level.

FACE AIDS is a dynamic non-profit organization working to build a global movement of young leaders to fight HIV/AIDS and promote global health equity. We harness young people’s passion for social change and equip them with the skills, resources, and peer community necessary to change the course of the HIV/AIDS
pandemic and global health inequities. Alumni, armed with the experience and conviction that come from participation in FACE AIDS, go on to play critical leadership roles across sectors worldwide to promote health equity.

Since its founding in 2005, FACE AIDS has:
