The world is watching

After the 2010 Target was announced, ActionAid supporters kept their eyes on world leaders to make sure they kept their promise of HIV treatment for all by 2010.

Over 6,000 of you from all over the world added your eyes to our online gallery. We used these eyes to watch the Global Fund Replenishment Conference and the Houses of Parliament in London. On World AIDS Day in 2005 we covered a bus with thousands of eyeballs and invited Tony Blair and Hilary Benn (Secretary of State for International Development) to visit and discuss our campaign.

In June 2007 we took the eyeballs to Germany to remind Angela Merkel as she hosted the G8 Summit that the world was watching to see what progress was made on AIDS by the G8 leaders. 

Find out if the G8 leaders delivered - read our G8 report card.
