GNP+ thanks Kazatchkine for Global Fund leadership
Friday, 27 January 2012
The Global Network of People living with HIV received news of the resignation of Prof. Michel Kazatchkine as Executive Director to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria with regret, but are keen to express our gratitude and respect for his leadership and commitment to the principles of the Global Fund over the past ten years.
Prof. Kazatchkine has played a pivotal role in the establishment and development of the Global Fund, having served on the Fund’s Transitional Working Group, Technical Review Panel and its Board before becoming Executive Director in 2007.
Under Prof. Kazatchkine’s leadership the Global Fund has lived up to its commitment of being a responsible and transparent multi-stakeholder funding agency based on a country ownership model, and a governance structure which promotes the active and meaningful participation of governments, the private sector, civil society, and most notably communities living with HIV, TB and Malaria.
Get involved in AIDS 2012!
Thursday, 26 January 2012
GNP+ calls on people living with HIV worldwide to get involved in AIDS 2012 to share their knowledge and experience.
AIDS 2012 is the 19th International AIDS Conference and will be held in Washington DC, U.S. on 22-27 July 2012. The conference theme Turning the Tide Together emphasizes that the HIV epidemic has reached a defining moment and that by acting decisively and collectively, we now have the potential to end the HIV epidemic.
People living with HIV worldwide know best how to effectively implement scaling up prevention, treatment and care activities in the HIV response. GNP+ therefore encourages people living with HIV to get involved in AIDS 2012 by submitting abstracts and applying for workshops.
The deadline for submitting abstracts and workshops and scholarship applications is February 15th!
People Living with HIV evaluate Red Cross Red Crescent efforts on AIDS and TB in Europe
Tuesday, 24 January 2012
GNP+ has recently supported the Belarus PLHIV Community to be part of an evaluation team looking at work carried out the European Regional Network on AIDS and TB of the Red Cross Red Crescent (ERNA).
Although there was much appreciation for the outreach towards the most vulnerable in humanitarian contexts by individual Red Cross/Red Crescent National Societies, there was also a view that this was not always sufficiently nuanced - especially at a national level - to the needs of people living with HIV.
In addition, there was evidence to suggest that National Societies, and indeed the Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement, had failed to effectively communicate the challenges and opportunities presented by the unique position and structure of the RC.
