Deadline: 16 April 2015
The 36th meeting of the UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board (PCB) will be held on 2 July 2015. The thematic segment will focus on HIV in emergency contexts. The NGO Delegation to the UNAIDS PCB invites civil society partners for case studies to be included in the conference room paper, help shape the background document that guides the thematic day, or ultimately be featured as a presentation among select examples of voids, challenges and successful initiatives and programs.
Case studies with wider concepts of emergencies that may not necessary meet the definition of ‘large-scale emergencies’, but have profound effects on the HIV response, particularly for key populations, with a broad and diverse range of issues and varying impact are focused.
Some of the themes that will be addressed during this thematic segment are
- Access to HIV prevention, care and treatment
- Protection issues, equity and human rights
- Preparedness and contingency planning
- Community resilience
- Inter-agency coordination
- Effects of emergencies on key populations
- Early recovery and development
- Situations of fragility
- Evidence and strategic information
- Innovative funding strategies; urban contexts
Submissions must be made via email by 16 April 2015.
