ADDIS ABABA (AFP) \u2013 African leaders must ensure that programmes to fight HIV\/AIDS on the ravaged continent are successfully carried out, former US president George W. Bush said Sunday.<\/p>\n

Bush said at the opening ceremony of the International Conference on AIDS and STIs (ICASA) in Africa that funding from foreign donors such as the US President\u2019s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR) alone was not enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cPEPFAR also relies on African leaders to take responsibility for the success of programs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe developing world must set priorities and there is no greater priority than saving a human life,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

PEPFAR has contributed $1.4 billion to HIV\/AIDS programs in Ethiopia since it was launched by Bush in 2003.<\/p>\n

Bush also encouraged the US to remain committed to saving lives in the developing world by promoting fighting disease. \u201cIsolationism is always shortsighted,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

HIV\/AIDS funding has diminished in recent years due to the global economic recession.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Global Fund for HIV\/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, the leading funding agency for the diseases, said it would not renew funding this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the wrong thing to do from my personal view, it will create a serious problem in terms of putting people on treatment,\u201d the executive director of the UN agency for AIDS Michel Sidibe told AFP.<\/p>\n

An estimated 22.9 million people are infected with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, with the majority of cases in eastern and southern Africa, according to the UN.<\/p>\n

The ICASA conference is being held in the Ethiopian capital until December 8 and is expected to attract some 10,000 delegates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
