CONFERENCES/ EVENTS/ RESEARCH/ RESOURCES:
PlusNews Weekly Issue 303, 29 September 2006


RESOURCES

1. HIV Prevention for Girls and Young Women (Report Cards)

The Report Cards are advocacy tools aimed at increasing and improving the programmatic, policy and funding actions taken on HIV prevention for girls and young women.

They build on global policy commitments, particularly those outlined in the 'Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS' from the UN General Assembly Special Session on AIDS (UNGASS).

Their key audiences are national, regional and international policy and decision-makers, and service providers.

Access the resource: www.unfpa.org

The latest 'Youth InfoNet issue No.27', which features 23 programme resources, as well as 13 research summaries on youth reproductive health and HIV prevention from Brazil, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Africa, and Tanzania can accessed at: www.fhi.org


CONFERENCES

1. HIV/AIDS and its Impact on Business in Africa - 22 to 25 January 2007

One of the major challenges facing the continent is to gather resources and translate knowledge and experience into treatment and prevention programmes.

This conference at the Sandton Convention Centre, in Johannesburg, South Africa, seeks to address the consequences if business continues to ignore current warnings and statistics.

Register at www.aidsafricaconference.com, as well as nominate a company you feel deserves an award for their course of action.
