This is an important opportunity for the delegation to present the unique perspectives of civil society on the developments and issues around the AIDS pandemic. Broad input from civil society informs the NGO report, particularly regarding key issues on the agenda, but also regarding persistent or emerging issues “on the ground.” This year, we anticipate that the June 2010 board meeting will include agenda items such as non-discrimination; men who have sex with men (MSM); and a thematic focus on sexual and reproductive health services linked to HIV. To strengthen its report the NGO delegation has organised a civil society survey. Please take a few minutes to complete this anonymous questionnaire (http://www.unaidspcbngo.org/pcb/). The Survey is currently available in Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. It will soon be made available in Thai, Burmese, Swahili and Arabic. The deadline is March 15, 2010.

The technical consultation moved the international agenda on HIV prevention forward by reshaping thinking based on the perspectives and experiences of people living with HIV. At the technical consultation the term ‘Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention’ was agreed upon linking issues of HIV treatment, prevention, support and care within a human rights framework.

The HIV Young Leaders Fund is an innovative funding mechanism driven by a broad range of organizations, including international and country-level youth-led networks. The mission of the HIV Young Leaders Fund is to enable and develop new leadership in the AIDS response among young people most-affected by HIV. “Peer-based programming is highly effective yet chronically underfunded and youth-led programs often lack support for core resources,” said Liping Mian, World AIDS Campaign Youth Campaign Coordinator and HIV Young Leaders Fund Interim Steering Committee member.
