We are seeking community proposals for thematic segments at the 56th and 57th PCB meetings, scheduled for June and December 2025. In line with the decision made at the 53rd meeting in December 2023, this call emphasizes the importance of community involvement in shaping the agenda to reflect the most pressing issues in the global HIV response.
The Delegation encourages all stakeholders, including civil society organizations, community groups, and individuals, to submit proposals that highlight critical topics relevant to the global HIV agenda. Each proposal should include a rationale explaining why the topic deserves focus and its relevance to current challenges and opportunities in HIV prevention, treatment, and support.
Proposals will be reviewed based on four key criteria: broad relevance, responsiveness, focus, and scope for action. This ensures that the selected themes are not only pertinent but also actionable, allowing the PCB to effectively address emerging and ongoing issues in the fight against HIV.
The NGO Delegation will thoroughly review all submissions and make recommendations for the final selection. The ultimate decision on the thematic segments will be made at the 55th PCB meeting in December 2024. It’s important to note that previous submissions can be resubmitted, providing an opportunity to revisit themes that have not yet been adopted.
Submission Details
- Deadline for proposals: 10 August 2024
