The European Commission on 12 July 2005 released €1 million to provide urgent support to Libya in its fight against the AIDS/HIV epidemic in Benghazi. This money was intended to pay for urgent policy advice and technical support to the Libyan health authorities and upgrade the capacity of the Benghazi Centre for Infectious Diseases and Immunology (BCIDI) to international standards. These projects were part of the longer-term 'HIV Action Plan for Benghazi'. The Action Plan had been launched by the EU in November 2004 and was being implemented by the Libyan authorities with support from the European Commission and EU Member States. |
