This is the problem the Global Fund to fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria has been struggling with. Today it launches its answer - a campaign for hundreds of thousands of signatures to persuade the politicians into generosity, using social media tools, animation and music that, frankly, have never before been associated with this sober organisation. Heading the campaign is Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, wife of the French president and ambassador for the French-led Global Fund (its executive director since 2007 has been the French HIV physician and immunologist Michel Kazatchkine). Bruni, professional musician and singer, has pulled in fellow artists and celebrities including Bono and Amy Winehouse. For the next couple of weeks, say people at the Fund, nobody using the internet should be able to avoid noticing the campaign, called Born HIV Free.

It uses the slogan “Hope spreads faster than Aids” to give the campaign an optimistic and upbeat tone alongside the serious message.

Bruni-Sarkozy, wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy, has voiced a series of four animated films in English, French and Spanish, developed by French musician and producer Julien Civange to promote the Global Fund’s efforts. The campaign has been developed to work across digital and traditional media and includes partnerships with Google, YouTube, MSN, Orange and JCDecaux.
