The European AIDS Treatment Group is pleased to invite you to its stakeholders meeting, “Community Perspectives on Guidelines and Programming Recommendations for Better Inclusion of Inadequately Served Groups”, in Warsaw 17 October 2023 at 19:00 – 21:00 (local time).
Description
The multistakeholder meeting will be the occasion to review how the SCOPE initiative has and can continue to expand community representation in the public debate, to generate data and develop tools for community research and advocacy. The meeting will provide a platform to exchange on lessons learnt since 2022 and next steps for the SCOPE initiative. During the event, community researchers will present their work and prompt a collective discussion on good practices necessary to reduce the gap in access and use of HIV combination in the WHO Europe region. The event will be closed by a moderated discussion and a reception.
Started in 2022, the SCOPE project (Strategic Community HIV Prevention Empowerment) aims at strengthening community engagement at local and regional levels to reduce the gap in access and use of HIV combination prevention interventions by populations that are most affected by HIV, but which remain inadequately served by health systems and which are underrepresented in policy and public debates.
