Dear partners of aidsfocus.ch Dear friends

I would like to invite you to our annual Meeting 2011 in Berne. As in earlier years, there will be a brief formal part with annual report and decision on the theme of the aidsfocus.ch conference 2012. The focus, however, will be on sharing and discussion on issues that concerns us all and which also give you the opportunity to shape the activities and directions of aidsfocus.ch. The topic this year is on the thematic focus of aidsfocus.ch.

Part 2: A wider focus of aidsfocus.ch? Sharing of experiences and discussion with a representative of Share-Net (contacted) and partners (15.00 – 16.45) The topic of the aidsfocus.ch conference 2011 was on linking HIV and sexual and reproductive health and rights. Some of our partner organisations have good experience in linking HIV and SRHR in their programs. Share-Net is the network of Dutch development organisations and individual consultants working in the field of SRHR and HIV. Like aidsfocus.ch, Share-Net aims to maintain and strengthen the capacity of its members through information sharing, capacity building and advocacy, however, with a wider focus. What are the experiences of Share-Net and aidsfocus.ch partners? What are lessons learnt?
