Assembly/AU/4(XI) Page 16 coordination and harmonization of their activities. During the period under review, more and more CSOs for Malaria and TB control are emerging, as compared to those for HIV/AIDS which are more prevalent. The CSOs have continued to provide direct support to communities, particularly vulnerable groups, as well as to Government institutions. UN and Other International Partners The UN and other development partners have continued to avail Member States immense technical and financial support for country programmes, each according to the respective mandate. Coordination and harmonization of their efforts is receiving more attention which improves partnerships and results in more rational utilization of the support. International mobilization of resources has ensured that more and more people in need have access to prevention, treatment, care and support. The International partners have also continued to lead in advocacy for action, resources and results. CONCLUSIONS The Progress Report on the implementation of the May 2006 Abuja continental commitments on universal access towards universal access to HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria Services indicates satisfactory performance in some priority areas, while efforts need to be scaled up in others. Better access for funding has enabled more access to prevention, treatment, care and support. An integrated and multi-sectoral approach to the management of these diseases should be ensured as it is more cost-effective. Planning, Coordination, Research, Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting are areas in need of more attention. RECOMMENDATIONS In order to achieve the 2010 Abuja targets as well as the MDGs, Member States in collaboration with NGOs and CSOs, are urged to: a. Increase and sustain advocacy for prevention, treatment, care and support for HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria programmes, even where success has been registered; b. To accelerate access to affordable medicines and commodities, the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plan for Africa should be implemented through the close collaboration of Member States, Regional Communities, the Private Sector and International Development Partners; c. Sustain political will and commitment of Africa’s Leaders, as well as the participation of communities;
