Agenda - Meeting at UNAIDS Geneva and online
Hi - attached please find the draft agenda for the "Impact: social and Behavioural Change" meeting hosted by UNAIDS in Geneva on March 29th 2011. Click on link below Read More below to access the full message and the Agenda file attachment. We are sending this to both people confirmed to attend and others who expressed interest as there are some processes included to support virtual participation if you are interested.
To recap, the meeting will work to these objectives. (1) To present the most compelling data from research and evaluation of long-term social and behavioural action at significant scale and (2) To present, debate, and distill the major strategic and programming conclusions from the research and evaluation data presented.
Please note that within the agenda (see the last page) there is a page on the engagement process - how we will handle the critical debate, review and dialogue parts of the agenda. This includes the use of the online platform so that those who are unable to be in Geneva due to meeting room space reasons can engage if you wish (and again profuse apologies for not being able to confirm your in person participation if this applies to you).
There are many people who will be both be in attendance in Geneva and will not be there who could speak very authoritatively to the meeting objectives. We very much appreciate everyone's tolerance and understanding re the format of this meeting. I am sure we have all had experiences of meetings where there were either so many presentations that there was no time for debate, dialogue and engagement and/or the presentation were so short that significant richness and detail are not shared - everything looks too superficial or lacking in validation. With just 5 significant presentations and considerable time for questions and debate we are seeking to ensue both rich detailed presentations and considerable review time. But of course that means many people who could/should present will not and we really appreciate your understanding and tolerance.

NB. Je remarque que vous n'aviez pas fait allusion à la Mobilisation des Ressources Humaines, Financières et Techniques pour la mise en oeuvre et l'exécution des Programmes de Communication en matière de Santé et de VIH/SIDA. Aussi, je note une absence de chapitre consacré aux approches culturelles en matière de communication sur le VIH/SIDA. Comment tendre verds l'élaboration des messages et des outils culturellement appropriés afin de diminuer la stigmatisation et la discrimination associées au VIH/SIDA.
