This year’s NGO Delegation annual report to the Programme Coordinating Board (PCB) addresses the worsening impact of reductions in funding for HIV on civil society, including people living with HIV and key populations. It is based on a review of evidence and case studies by constituents of the NGO Delegation. The report covers the realities of decreased bilateral and multi-lateral funding for and national investment in HIV and explores the impacts on civil society and its critical programmatic and advocacy contributions to responses to HIV. In its report, the NGO Delegation calls on UNAIDS to look at how decreased funding for HIV is impacting UNAIDS strategies’ and its ability to meet the goals of the 2011 Political Declaration.
