Jóvenes que viven con el VIH

UNAIDS have launched CrowdOutAIDS.org to increase contributions from young people to the agency’s New Generation Leadership Strategy. CrowdOutAIDS.org is an online collaborative project set up by young people working at UNAIDS and across different networks.

UNAIDS are using a crowd sourcing approach to ensure fullest participation of young people in the development of this strategy, bearing in mind the core principles of meaningful youth engagement: inclusivity, transparency and accountability. Through the online wiki-like platform at crowdoutaids.org, young people have a unique opportunity to shape the NGL strategy. The process will conclude by mid-January 2012
