On April 17-19, 2023, the Board of Directors of ICASO met in person for the first time since before the COVID-19 pandemic to take stock of the global response to HIV and, in particular, the state of community organizing in a greatly changed political, social and epidemiological environment.
As a Board, we benefit from the direct experience and insights of Board members from Africa, Asia, and the Americas, as well as ICASO’s network of partners from throughout the world.
Since the beginning of the AIDS pandemic, civil society activism has always been the engine of the AIDS response, indispensable for driving the political commitment, resource allocations, and non-discriminatory legal frameworks needed to end AIDS. ICASO is thus extremely concerned about developments threatening the sustainability and safety of ongoing activism around HIV and its social determinants.
