“Dufite ibikoresho byose. Dufite imiti. Dufite ubushobozi bwo kugira Afurika itarimo abana bandura VIH. Ariko dukeneye ibikorwa, si amagambo.”

Eugene Kinyanda, umwe mu bagize panel, yagaragaje ko hari uguhangayika ku ngaruka z’imiyoborere n’imbogamizi mu kubona inkunga.

“Hari byinshi bibera ku isi: Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan… ariko ibyo ntibikwiye kudukuraho ubushake bwo gukomeza kurokora ubuzima muri Afurika. Global Fund igomba kugumaho, twese dukwiye gushakisha uko twongera inkunga.”

Abandi bayobozi bavuze ku buryo bwo gushora imari imbere mu bihugu (domestic financing), aho hifuzwa ko ibihugu bikwiye gushyira amafaranga mu bikorwa by’ubuzima aturutse mu ngengo y’imari yabyo.

“Ntituvuga bihagije ku ruhare rw’abaturage mu igenamigambi ry’ubuzima. Transparency, accountability, no gukorera abaturage ni byo bizatugeza ku ntsinzi.”

Bashimangiye ko ubufatanye n’abikorera n’amabanki y’ishoramari ari ingenzi, ndetse ko habayeho kwiga ku buryo bwo kuzana ibikoresho bihendutse binyuze mu buhanga n’ikoranabuhanga.

 “Ubufatanye bwarankijije. Nibwo bwabaye umuseke mushya ku buzima bwanjye. Nibudakomeza, abandi benshi bashobora kutagira amahirwe nari nagize.
