aidsfocus.ch conference: The future of the global AIDS response – Implications for NGOs

14.04.2010

Bern | The global economic crisis has induced cutbacks in the spending of Government and international donors. This also threatens efforts for an effective response to HIV and AIDS. In addition, a ‘backlash’ against disease-specific initiatives can be observed in the international arena. HIV and AIDS, with presently 33.4 million people living with HIV remains a serious global problem, reaching beyond the health sector. A united and coordinated effort is needed more than ever.

What are the implications of these debates on macro level for Swiss NGOs working in the field of HIV/AIDS and international cooperation? What are the implications for prevention, for treatment programmes and/or on programmes for psychosocial support? How can the demand for universal access to comprehensive prevention, treatment, care and support by 2015 still be met?

Guest speakers:

Dr Christoph Benn, Director Partnership, Communications, Resource and Mobilization, Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria

Andreas Loebell, Policy Advisor Health, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)

Robin Gorna, Executive Director International AIDS Society (IAS): Implications on Civil Society
