The topic this year is on advocacy.

Part 2: Promises are not enough – our expectations and demands (15.20 – 16.45)

Aidsfocus.ch produced in cooperation with the German and the Austrian Action against AIDS (Aktionsbündnis gegen Aids) an alternative report on the financial promises of their respective governments and the realities of international cooperation in health and HIV: “Engagement gegen Aids. Versprechen sind nicht genug” (only available in German). The facts are quite appalling. All the governments are miles away from what they promised and should financially contribute to the global AIDS response. What are the demands of aidsfocus.ch? What shall aidsfocus.ch do to remind the Swiss government of its commitment and make it act accordingly?

With an input by Joachim Rüppel (author of the study, Action against AIDS) and/or a representative of the German Aktionsbündnis gegen Aids.

aidsfocus.ch welcomes to the Annual Meeting all people interested in HIV, AIDS and international cooperation. But only partners of aidsfocus.ch will be able to vote.

Please let me know by 19 October 2010 who will participate in the Annual Meeting (Mail to info@aidsfocus.ch, or tel. 061 383 18 12, Helena Zweifel, aidsfocus.ch)

Time: 13.45 – 16.45
Venue: Swiss Red Cross, Rainmattstrasse 10, Bern
