The main findings of the report will be presented and the co-chairs of each of the Start Free, Stay Free and AIDS Free technical working groups will present progress and challenges and highlight best practices. We will invite updates from the community and country perspective and conclude with a discussion on the key actions needed to accelerate progress towards the 2020 targets at country level and globally.
