Swedish millions pledged for AIDS and governance

    JOHANNESBURG

    Sweden has granted Kenya more than US $100 million to tackle HIV/AIDS and strengthen its development activities between 2004 and 2006, Agence France-Presse reported.

    The money will cover projects that promote good governance and help to ease the socio-economic impact of HIV and AIDS.

    AIDS-related illness have claimed the lives of more than 1.5 million Kenyans since 1884, and at least seven percent of the East African country's 32 million population are currently living with HIV/AIDS.
