Vibrant Global Village at AIDS 2016

NACOSA’s stand at the Global Village in Durban has been busy. We’ve had visits from old members, partners, new members from Africa and even a Zulu princess! The Global Village is where civil society has congregated to bring life and flavour to the International AIDS Conference in Durban 2016.

All of our provincial managers, our Executive Director and our Deputy Programme Director are at the conference to learn as much as possible about what’s new and developing in the HIV/AIDS and TB field. We are tweeting some of our key take-aways live from the conference. Follow us @NACOSANet for all the conference news as it happens. And please Tweet us your observations of the conference if you are there.

Or if you can’t follow live, we will be producing a report on our learning from AIDS 2016 at the end of the conference so watch this space.

If you are a member and are in Durban, come over to our stand at the Global Village (number 525, opposite the food court) and get a membership pin. We’re always stronger when we stand together! We are very happy to have signed up new members from Southern Africa and also to have seen so many of our friends and networking partners.

We are presenting two conference posters which can be downloaded below:

• ADJUSTING THE LENS: Integrating HTS into OVC programmes
• FROM BROTHELS TO PARLIAMENT: Lessons learnt from scaling up a sex worker HIV programme

And don’t forget, you can get all our learning, best practice, case studies and evaluations on our Portraits pages.
