This address Presentation Address by K.Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) with recipients required to report to donors at the Launch of the Commission on HIV/AIDS and Governance in Africa (CHGA). Mr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, At this stage in the history of HIV/AIDS, many may find it difficult to think of the devastation being brought by the disease on our families as a critical challenge to the future governance of our communities. But if, as we do at ECA, you see good governance as an issue of the capable state, then you will define governance as society's ability to maintain efficient public institutions, to produce and execute sound policies, deliver quality public services, promote the rule of law, and provide an enabling environment for the public sector and civil society to play their respective roles. In that context, HIV/AIDS must clearly be seen as the most critical challenge to governance on our continent today. The implications of this human tragedy reach deep into the structure of economies, the capacity of institutions, the integrity of communities and the viability of families. For African governments, the cost of failing to fully appreciate the development implications of HIV/AIDS and in particular the need to keep HIV infected people alive for as long as humanly possible, will be too high to contemplate.
