CHAA has been accredited to attend the 2008 high-level meeting on AIDS at the United Nations headquarters in New York on 10 - 11 June. The global gathering will review progress made in implementing the 2001 Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS and the 2006 Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS. The high-level meeting will provide an important forum for various stakeholders, including people living with HIV & AIDS, governments and civil society participants to review progress made on the goals set out in the previous declarations, and at how together we can work to achieve them.
The active involvement in this process of people living with HIV & AIDS, civil society and faith based groups like CHAA and its members is to be welcomed. HIV and AIDS remains one of the major health and social challenges facing all societies around the world. Only a concerted effort by all sections of society can hope to respond effectively.
Steven Fouch, Secretary of CHAA will be representing the Alliance at the meeting.
