Donald Kaberuka, President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), is a member of the commission established under the aegis of the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the scientific journal The Lancet. As such, he took part in the latest series of consultations in London. On February 13, Kaberuka emphasized the importance of human capital in creating wealth and inclusive growth.

Launched in May 2013, "The UNAIDS and Lancet Commission: Defeating AIDS - Advancing global health" is co-chaired by Joyce Banda, President of the Republic of Malawi, with Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, African Union Commission Chairperson, and Peter Piot, Director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).

The first series of consultations was held in Malawi in June 2013. This second series took place in the UK capital on February 13 and 14, 2014 and is expected to result in a major report to be published shortly in the medical journal The Lancet.
