The President of the United Nations General Assembly (PGA) has requested the UNAIDS Secretariat to help convene a Stakeholder Task Force to support effective and active participation of civil society, the private sector, and other relevant stakeholders in the High Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS to be held in New York from 8-10 June 2016.
The Task Force will report to the Office of the President of the General Assembly (OPGA) and provide an important link for civil society and all relevant stakeholders interested in participating in the High Level Meeting. Task Force representatives will work with UNAIDS and the OPGA in developing key aspects of the High Level Meeting. The role of representatives will be unpaid but expenses and travel will be met by UNAIDS.
Different constituency networks are being requested to use their own networks and selection processes to nominate individuals to be considered for the Task Force. An international civil society support group made up of different constituencies and regional representation, established to provide support to civil society and relevant stakeholder involvement, will use the overall criteria set out below to propose individuals for each of the nine categories of members and submit these names to the OPGA.
- One person openly living with HIV representing organizations or networks of people living with HIV
- One representatives from each of the key affected communities (people who use drugs, sex workers, transgender and men who have sex with men)
- One member of the UNAIDS PCB NGO delegation
- A representative from a women’s organization, particularly working on sexual and reproductive health and rights
- A representative from the private sector
- A representative from a youth organization
- A representative from a faith-based organization
- A representative of trade unions
- A representative of indigenous peoples
The selected nominations will then be sent as recommendations to the UNAIDS Secretariat and the OPGA who will be responsible for the final decision.
Deadline for nominations is January 13th 2016. Find more information below.
