HIV/AIDS & STIs

Uniting civil society to advance integrated, community-led HIV and STI policy, financing, and service delivery advocacy at the global level.

The HIV/AIDS and STIs Committee coordinates IDA's civil society advocacy on HIV, STIs, and sexual health. We engage UNAIDS, the Global Fund, and WHA processes - developing shared positions on sustainable financing, community-led service delivery, stigma reduction, and human rights. Our work connects regional field expertise with global policy processes to ensure civil society has a unified, evidence-based voice.
