The IAS Conference on Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention brings together a broad cross section of HIV professionals and features the latest HIV science, with a focus on implementation – moving scientific advances into practice.

In addition, the IAS advocates for urgent action to reduce the global impact of HIV, including increased investment in HIV cure research; optimizing treatment and care for infants, children and adolescents with HIV in resource-limited settings; preventing and treating HIV-related co-infections; and expanding access to prevention, treatment and care for key populations at higher risk for HIV – such as men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, sex workers and transgender individuals – including protecting their human rights by combatting punitive laws and discriminatory policies.

Organisation: ICVA

Founded in 1962, ICVA (International Council of Voluntary Agencies) is a global network of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that work collectively and with other humanitarian stakeholders to promote and facilitate NGO engagement in the humanitarian sector and its policies.

NGOs form a vital pillar in the international humanitarian community; however, despite implementing the majority of humanitarian work, NGOs often find themselves excluded from key decision-making structures and processes. Increased NGO contribution in these structures and processes could directly benefit affected populations, closing the gap between field realities and global policies.

By strengthening NGO engagement in the development of the humanitarian sector, ICVA aims to positively shape the future of humanitarian assistance, promoting more collective, principled and effective action.

Based on its 2015-2018 Strategy, ICVA promotes and facilitates NGO engagement and partnership with a variety of actors and bodies (e.g. IASC, UN agencies, donors, members states, international and political bodies, and emerging players), with a key focus on:

• Forced Displacement;

• Humanitarian Partnership;

• Humanitarian Coordination; and

• Humanitarian Financing.

Historically based in Geneva, in 2013 ICVA expanded its presence to Asia, MENA and Africa with an intention to:

• Expand representation to regional or international humanitarian and political bodies and actors present in those regions; and

• Develop stronger links between field realities and global policies.

ICVA’s communications strategy:
