ONE Statement on U.S. IATI Announcement in Busan
Secretary Clinton's announcement that the United States will join the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) reinforces America's leadership in making foreign assistance more transparent and accountable.

Media Advisory: ONE and (RED) Host Event on “the Beginning of the End of AIDS”
To mark World AIDS Day 2011, ONE and (RED) are hosting a high-level panel discussion on reaching "the beginning of the end of AIDS". Major progress has been made in the last 10 years in the fight against global AIDS thanks in large part to US leadership, and now new scientific discoveries hold great promise for reducing infection rates. If the world comes together over the next few years, we could finally see the beginning of the end of the AIDS pandemic, but only if a broad coalition - government and activists, business and faith leaders - comes together to build on the progress already made.
