Abstract

In 2000, Africa was frightened to the core by acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).1 This crisis stood the chance of dividing us, but it did not. As the African Union (AU) reflects on where we have come from, we are encouraged by the exceptional leadership role played by the pan-African organisation. The African-led statutory body has over the years united African leaders to leverage on the power of constructive policies and accountability as efficacious tools to fight AIDS in the continent.
