In December 2006, UNESCO and the Library of Congress convened an Experts Meeting at UNESCO headquarters in Paris to discuss the project. Experts from all parts of the world identified a number of challenges that the project would need to overcome to be successful. They noted that little cultural content was being digitized in many countries, and that developing countries in particular lacked the capacity to digitize and display their cultural treasures. Existing websites often had poorly developed search and display functions. Multilingual access was not well developed.
A team at the Library of Congress then developed the public, online version of the WDL, which was launched at UNESCO in April 2009. Twenty-six institutions contributed content to the launch version of the site. Launch partners included national libraries and cultural organizations in Brazil, China, Egypt, Mexico, Russia, France, Sweden, Uganda, the United States and other locations worldwide.
Following the launch, the WDL continued to add content to the site and to enlist new partners from all parts of the world. In April 2010, institutions and organizations contributing to the WDL adopted the WDL Charter, which established a permanent governance structure.
We share the same goal as millions around the world: to end the HIV epidemic. To be successful, it will take a global response, utilizing all the resources available to us at every level of society.
The National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) and Federal Implementation Plan provide information on how we can work together to better coordinate our response to the HIV epidemic in the U.S.: -response/national-hiv-aids-strategy/national-hiv-aids-strategy-2022-2025
