2025 has been a year like no other. During these challenging times, AVAC’s Global Health Watch has been the go-to source for tracking and analyzing attacks on global health and the HIV response, pandemic preparedness, and human rights: from the US government’s foreign aid freeze and subsequent funding collapses to the politicization of science and erosion of public health infrastructure. Thanks to our partners and many supporters, we were able to introduce and push out 43 issues of Global Health Watch, providing consistent, trusted context so you can navigate the turmoil with clarity, purpose and solidarity.
Global Health Watch is about translating chaos into actionable insight, identifying risks early, informing rapid advocacy, and supporting global movements to defend evidence-informed, rights-based and community-centered health responses. In a time when misinformation and political interference threaten decades of progress, AVAC is proud of its role as a steady source of analysis, strategy, and coordination. We’ve done it for the past 43 weeks. We’ll keep going as long as these threats remain.
As the US moves into Thanksgiving later this week, we give thanks to our community who stops at nothing to safe-guard hard-won progress against HIV and global health equity. Next week marks our 30th anniversary as an organization. While so much in the field has evolved in this time, what we do and why we do it remains constant—thanks to your support and collaboration.
Next week is Giving Tuesday. If you depend on Global Health Watch and the work that AVAC and our partners do, please support us to ensure we can continue tracking developments in real-time, strengthening advocacy networks, and equipping partners with the tools and information they need to respond effectively. Together, we can continue to protect global health and all that communities have fought so hard to build.
