---------------------- PEER REVIEW WORKING GROUP ON MAINSTREAMING HIV AND AIDS

Many partner organisations started to introduce mainstreaming of HIV and AIDS into their own organisation. Often they encounter unforeseen challenges, but at the same time are surprised by encouraging and unexpected small success stories. In this process we can best learn from each other. How do others do it? Where in the process are they? Which are the open questions, the challenges, the successes, the lessons learned? Have there been any results yet?

If you would like to get further information on mainstreaming HIV, the peer review group’s activities and the minutes of the last meeting, please visit the new platform on our website:
