The International Council of AIDS Service Organizations (ICASO),
the International HIV/AIDS Alliance (the Alliance) and Health
and Development Networks (HDN) will co-host a structured discus-
sion in the weeks leading up to the International AIDS Confer-
ence (IAC) in Bangkok. The discussion will take place on the
Community Research eForum and will be entitled:
Questioning the AIDS Community Sector: Are we making a differ-
ence?
The Alliance and ICASO see the upcoming Bangkok IAC as an ideal
opportunity to convene a candid dialogue on how effective the
community-led movement to fight HIV and AIDS has been, and next
steps for the future. On July 12, the two organizations will
host a satellite session to reflect on how far the movement has
come, to take stock of the impact the community sector is or is
not having at various levels of policy-making and program imple-
mentation, and to look at ways of equipping the sector for the
challenges ahead.
The online structured discussion will raise critical issues by
asking a series of questions, including:
How does the community sector face the new epidemics of the 21st
century?
* What do we need to do to address new challenges?
* What are we doing right and what are we doing wrong?
* What are we doing that is outdated?
* What are we doing that is forging new ground?
* Are we evolving with the epidemic or are we stuck?
* How can we evolve to better address the epidemic?
* How can we broaden our scope and our reach?
A summary of this pre-conference structured discussion will be
presented during the July 12th session in Bangkok.
All people interested in or working on HIV/AIDS issues are urged
to be a part of this exciting new discussion. To join the Commu-
