The world is at a pivotal point in the fight to end AIDS. As we work toward the 2030 goal of ending AIDS as a public health threat, UNAIDS is developing the Global AIDS Strategy 2026–2031—and your voice is needed to help shape its direction.
UNAIDS has launched a global survey to gather insights from communities, civil society, and other key stakeholders. This is a critical opportunity to ensure the next phase of the HIV response is inclusive, grounded in lived experience, and informed by those most affected.
The NGO Delegation to the UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board is gathering input for our 2024 report on Community Leadership in the HIV response, and we need your voice!
We are excited to announce the call for case studies for this year’s NGO report, which will focus on Community Leadership. This annual report sheds light on critical issues relevant to the global HIV response. This year, we’re spotlighting the indispensable role of community-led activities in achieving the goal of ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
We are seeking community proposals for thematic segments at the 56th and 57th PCB meetings, scheduled for June and December 2025.

The continuous underfunding of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS has now trickled down to the Joint Programme’s governance.

The NGO Delegation reveals that multiple unsuccessful attempts have been made to engage UNAIDS and its funding Member States regarding the financial shortages.
The NGO Delegation is gearing up for its Strategic Planning Meeting, scheduled from 15-17 July 2024, to be held in Munich, Germany. This pivotal gathering aims to chart a course for the delegation’s future endeavors, addressing critical global health challenges and refining strategies for impactful advocacy. To ensure the success of this endeavor, the delegation is extending an invitation for a skilled facilitator, preferably based in Europe (due to budgetary constraints), to lead the discussions and guide the participants towards achieving their objectives.
