CORRECTION
Due to an error published in the Washington Times, yesterday's Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report story on U.N. Envoy for AIDS in Africa Stephen Lewis improperly indicated that the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's voluntary target for international development assistance is 0.07% of gross national product and that average national expenditures are currently at 0.02% of GNP (Pisik, Washington Times, 1/7). According to an OECD release, the correct voluntary goal set by OECD is 0.7% of GNP and aid as a proportion of member countries' combined GNP was 0.22% in 2000 (OECD release, 12/12/2001).
