Satellite 1:
Choices and Challenges for NGO Support Programmes

There is increasing attention around the world to "scaling
up" responses to HIV/AIDS. As part of these efforts, systems
and programmes are being established and expanded to
provide funding to local NGOs and CBOs for HIV/AIDS
projects, to provide training and technical support to such
groups, and to promote co-ordination and partnership
between NGOs and governments. This satellite session will
bring together people who have established, managed or
studied 'NGO Support Programmes'.
Using a panel discussion format, participants will discuss:
* the choices and challenges of providing support from
government ministries or from intermediary NGOs;
* the dilemmas of how to decide which NGOs and CBOs
should receive support;
* lessons learned in scaling up technical assistance and
capacity building efforts and more.

While discussions will focus on programmes or systems that
endeavour to deliver both funding and technical support to
local NGOs and CBOs, the session should also be of interest
to organisations that provide only funding, or only training.
