This workshop is a joint initiative of the International
Council of AIDS Service Organizations (ICASO), GNP+, Care
International, International Federation of Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies (IFRC), International HIV/AIDS Alliance and
the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). The
workshop will focus on building skills among NGOs and CBOs
to improve their organizational management and programme
delivery capacity. This workshop will use the 'Code of Good
Practice for NGOs Responding to HIV/AIDS' as a tool to build
a shared vision of principles for good practice in programming
and advocacy work to which NGOs can commit to and be
held accountable for. Skills will be built around organizational
planning including meaningful involvement of PLWHA and
vulnerable communities, fostering multi-sectoral partnerships
for a coordinated response, transparent governance, good
organizational management including human resources and
financial resources, programme planning, implementation
and transparent monitoring and evaluation to ensure that
programmes are effective, evidence-based, rights-based,
non-discriminatory, inclusive, equitable and respond to
community needs.
Facilitator: Sumita Banerjee, Canada
