International News Canada Gives $76 Million to Africa's AIDS BattleDecember 2, 2003 On Monday, the Canadian government said it would give 100 million Canadian dollars (US$76 million) to help Africa fight AIDS. The International Cooperation Ministry said the money would be spent over five years and would be concentrated at first on Tanzania and Mozambique, which have some of the world's highest infection rates. "Canada's support for these initiatives today reflects our much deeper commitment to expanding our role in the fight against this global pandemic," International Cooperation Minister Susan Wheeler said in a World AIDS Day statement. Canada said the contribution would support the World Health Organization's campaign to provide 3 million HIV-infected persons in developing countries with antiretroviral drugs.
