Investing in community advocacy and services to end the AIDS epidemic
UNAIDS - "Since the start of the AIDS epidemic civil society has been at the forefront of the response to HIV—demanding access to treatment and HIV services, calling for the respect of human rights and supporting community-led HIV services.
Today the role of civil society remains more relevant than ever as the success of community efforts in providing HIV services, particularly to key populations, is becoming more widely recognized as essential to ending the AIDS epidemic. (...)
UNAIDS has issued two new reports highlighting the importance of investing in community action. Invest in Advocacy details important contributions by community based advocates and points to the need to increase investment to drive an accelerated and more equitable response to HIV. (...)
Stronger Together provides details of the evidence base for community-provided services achieving scale, delivering quality services, and producing results." (Photo © UNAIDS)
