Each year, the NGO Delegation to the UNAIDS governing body (called the Programme Coordinating Board or PCB) submits a report to the Board. This is an important opportunity for us to present the unique perspectives of civil society on the developments and issues around the AIDS pandemic. Broad input from civil society informs the NGO report, particularly regarding key issues on the agenda, but also regarding persistent or emerging issues “on the ground.”

This year, we anticipate that the June 2010 board meeting will include agenda items such as non-discrimination; men who have sex with men (MSM); and a thematic focus on sexual and reproductive health services linked to HIV.

We would like to get your input as we write this report. Please take a few minutes to complete this anonymous questionnaire, which is divided into three sections. The first section asks general information about you. The second section asks about how stigma and/or discrimination are impeding access to prevention, treatment, care and support. The third section asks about the programming of UNAIDS’ (including the ten Cosponsors) to tackle stigma and/or discrimination in your country or region.

Many of you work with community organizations, but we would also like to encourage individuals to fill out the survey. If you are affected by the issues but not part of a wider organization, this is an opportunity to share input that can be reflected at the board meeting.

If you have further comments or questions, you can send them to our Communications Facility at pcbngo@gmail.com. For more information on the PCB, please visit our website at http://www.unaidspcbngo.org.

Thank you for adding your own voice to civil society’s input to the Programme Coordinating Board of UNAIDS.
