The 4th Global Partners Forum on Children affected by HIV and AIDS was held in Ireland in October 2008 and was co-hosted by Irish Aid, Department of Foreign Affairs, and UNICEF. The Global Partners Forum (GPF) was established in 2003 to provide momentum in fulfilling global commitments for children affected by HIV and AIDS as enshrined in the United Nations General Assembly 2001 Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS and the Millennium Development Goals.
The 4th Global Partners Forum in Dublin brought together over 180 leaders in Government, civil society and UN agencies to review global progress, set global priorities, and make commitments for children affected by HIV and AIDS. The Communique for the Forum condenses the successes and improvements made and highlights areas where challenges remain for children.
