Oyo Government Intensifies Efforts to Sustain HIV Response, Seeks Domestic Financing
The Oyo State Government has renewed its commitment to sustaining the gains recorded in the fight against HIV/AIDS through stronger domestic financing, partnership and integration of HIV programmes into existing government systems.
The Chairman of the Oyo State Agency for the Control of AIDS (OYSACA), Dr. Gbola Adetunji, made this known at the Third Quarter Meeting of the Oyo State HIV Resources Mobilisation Technical Working Group and Sustainability Plan Committee, held recently at the Agency’s Conference Room, Ibadan.
Adetunji said the changing global health financing environment, donor transition and funding gaps had made it necessary for the State to develop sustainable mechanisms for financing HIV prevention, testing, treatment, care and support.
The OYSACA Chairman stressed the need for stronger collaboration among government agencies, Local Government Areas, development partners, NGOs, private-sector organisations and other stakeholders to ensure that HIV services remain sustainable across the State’s 33 Local Government Areas.
The meeting provided an opportunity for stakeholders to review progress made during the third quarter of 2026, assess existing resource gaps and deliberate on strategies to strengthen HIV response in the state.
