AIDS Action Europe is a partnership of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) which has now been operating for 5 years on a European level. It’s aim is to create a more effective response to the HIV and AIDS epidemics in Europe and its neighbours.

 

From its establishement AIDS Action Europe has worked on several projects and activities to achieve its mission to unite civil society to work towards a more effective response to the HIV epidemic in Europe. In 2008 the network successfully finalized the project European Partners in Action on AIDS, which included a series of good practice seminars and the development of the Pan European Clearinghouse on HIV www.hivaidsclearinghouse.eu.

 

“In a rather short period of time, AIDS Action Europe has given voice to the needs of organizations working on HIV and AIDS all over Europe”, says Chris Lambrechts (Belgium) former chair of the AIDS Action Europe Steering Committee.

 

In the coming 5 years the focus of AIDS Action Europe will continue on strengthening NGOs to make an effective contribution to European HIV policies through advocacy and public policy dialogue and on facilitating continuous exchange among NGOs on good practices related to HIV.
