Constituency Consultations

Programmes

Direct input from people living with HIV at the national and community levels increases the quality of HIV programming and enhances the impact of HIV programmes on the lives of people living with HIV. GNP+ has a tradition of collecting this input through its programmes and through direct engagement in meetings, technical consultations and conferences. To increase the outreach and impact of these consultations, GNP+ has started to make use of existing and popular communication technologies.

According to GNP+, web based consultations should not be run in isolation, but be part of a package of consultations run through regional and national networks of people living with HIV indentifying with GNP+.

GNP+ supports its regional networks and their member networks at national level to engage in structural issue-specific consultations with its constituents at regional, national and community levels in order to complement efforts via the e-consultations. The use of electronic platforms has been incorporated into the several programmes that GNP+ is implementing. GNP+ will also launch its own social networking platform that will be a main stage for these consultations.

Tuesday, 05 April 2011

From December 2010 to February 2011, GNP+ and ICW Global held a series of consultations with people living with HIV to gather their perspectives and personal experiences on how programmes and services that seek to prevent the transmission of HIV from a mother to a child should be organised and run. The recommendations from people living with HIV were shared with the Interagency Task Team (IATT) for Prevention of HIV Infection in Pregnant Women, Mothers, and their Children to support them in strengthening a strategic framework they are developing for the primary prevention of HIV among women of reproductive age and the prevention of unintended pregnancies among women living with HIV (components 1 and 2 of PMTCT).
