worldwide effort, initiated by FXB International, urging mayors and
elected officials to sign a proclamation recognizing objectives set
out in the 2001 United Nations Declaration of Commitments on HIV/
AIDS, including increased funding for AIDS orphans and their
communities. Elected representatives from 271 cities in 38 countries

is estimated to be 15 million, and is expected to rise to 100 million
by 2010.
