UNAIDS Collaborating Center
Supporting UNAIDS to advance policy and laws impacting HIV/AIDS.
The O’Neill Institute’s Center for Global Health Policy and Politics at Georgetown University has been designated by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) as a United Nations Collaborating Center. Bridging the Georgetown University School of Health and the O’Neill Institute, the Center for Global Health Policy and Politics leverages scholarship and technical strengths of policy and law experts embedded across Georgetown University. In this role, O’Neill will support and advance policy and laws impacting HIV/AIDS with the overarching goal of addressing the inequalities driving the pandemic.
The agreement formalizing UNAIDS Collaborating Center was signed April 12 at Georgetown by (left to right) Christopher King, dean of the School of Health; Matthew Kavanagh, director of the Center for Global Health Policy and Politics and assistant professor in the School of Health; Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director, UNAIDS and United Nations Under-Secretary-General; and Katie Gottschalk, executive director of the O’Neill Institute.
