aidsfocus.ch: Annual Meeting 2012

The Global Fund and Civil Society will be in the focus of the thematic part of the Annual Meeting 2012. Michael O'Connor, Manager for the Civil Society and Private Sector partnerships team at The Global Fund, accepted the invitation to share with us recent information on the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria and to join in the discussion on the roles, opportunities and challenges of Civil Society in shaping the Global Fund.

This will be a great opportunity for all of us to get first hand expert information from a high level official in the Global Fund and former Civil Society activist and a chance to ask questions, discuss and share ideas and concerns.
