Despite a concerted international effort in recent decades that has yielded significant progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS, the disease continues to kill large numbers of people, especially in certain regions like rural Ndhiwa district in Homa Bay County, Kenya. Although there is still no definitive cure or vaccine, UNAIDS has set an ambitious goal of ending the epidemic by 2030, specifically via its 90-90-90 (treatment cascade) strategy – namely that 90 per cent of

We shall dry each other’s tears with open hearts and our bare hands.’ With these words, she paraphrased the title of Jonas Gardell’s novel and TV drama Don’t Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves, which for the first time in the Swedish mainstream public sphere addressed the trauma of HIV/ AIDS, and for which Gardell was awarded the prize. Accepting the award, Jonas Gardell responded cheekily: ‘You may be the Crown Princess, but tonight, I am the Queen’ (see figure 12.1). The gala was televised nationally and Princess Victoria
research projects and visits to Zambia. Chronologically, our initial partnership-orientated research in 2007 considered broad dimensions of partnership working in respect to SfD. Our interviewees in Zambia included representatives of SfD and health-orientated NGOs as well as national policymakers and funders from the HIV/AIDS sector.

-ordinated state- and country-led approaches in other development sectors, even if these ambitions have not been fully realized in practice. As yet, there is limited evidence of these trends being implemented in Zambian SfD and any rhetorical commitment to do so is relatively weak. Aspects of divergence between SfD and other development sectors were also very evident in Chapter 3 , where the relationship between Zambian SfD and HIV/AIDS organizations and policies
