If you are a funder, policy maker, government representative, technical adviser, implementer or community advocate, this satellite will leave you better informed of investment gaps and opportunities for children and adolescents. Now, more than ever, it is important to know that money is being allocated wisely. To be sure of value for money, that policies and commitments are being acted upon and to spot where investment opportunities remain. This satellite will preview new evidence on what is being spent, where, on what kinds of interventions, to what effect and what the gaps are. We will discuss government and donor funding in the priority countries of the Global Alliance to End AIDS in Children; private philanthropy; and the return on investment for “accelerator interventions” that achieve multiple outcomes simultaneously. Thank you to our satellite sponsor, ViiV Healthcare Positive Action.
FCAA’s Program & Research Manager Cat Gironda will participate to feature new FCAA data.
This invite-only roundtable, convened by Funders Concerned about AIDS and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, will bring together communities, civil society, and the private sector to discuss practical solutions to counter this trend. The goal is to develop a playbook that outlines concrete and collaborative actions that we can take together to push back against harmful narratives, sustain and expand civic space, increase respect for human rights, and strengthen the HIV response.

Location is provided to those who are accepted to attend.
When: Tuesday, July 23 from 15:00-16:00

Inequality, discrimination and poverty continue to drive the HIV pandemic and present the greatest barrier to ending HIV as a public health threat. Community-led organizations are at the forefront of the struggle for equity. This session will outline the growing challenges of: criminalization of key populations, stigma and discrimination; the challenges of first responses (including medical torture, loss of dignity and forced testing); the position of women with regards to marriage, access to treatment, prevention of vertical transmission and sex work; gender inequality and gender-based violence; access to information on health rights; and access to testing and treatment. The session will also highlight the vital role of community-led organizations in addressing these challenges.
FCAA Executive Director Masen Davis will present an intervention on: Unravelling the impact of anti-rights movements on the HIV response: A deep dive.
Please join FCAA, Aidsfonds, CIFF and Sidaction for this special invite-only reception to share ideas, strategize partnerships, and strengthen our HIV response in this political moment.
When: Tuesday, July 23 from 17:00 to 19:00

HIV funding, like philanthropy and development assistance more broadly, is rooted in histories of colonialism that perpetuate racism and put decision-making power in the hands of those who have benefited most from colonialism and capitalism. The status quo of funding prevents communities from breaking out of short-term, project-based strategies for leading the HIV response. This workshop will explore methods to unlock equitable funding for community-led organizations through concrete changes to private, public and multilateral funding. The session seeks to build on a global, community-led call for a paradigm shift in the way funds are distributed and received.
