Welcome to the City AIDS 2008 Workshop
Print
Is your municipality AIDS Competent? Have you ever thought how effective your city is in addressing HIV/AIDS relatively to other cities in the world? We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to share your experience in effectively responding to the epidemic and to learn from other municipalities around the world.
It is my pleasure to invite you to take part in the workshop on City Responses to HIV/AIDS organized by the Department of Health and Social Welfare of Tallinn, in cooperation with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) in Geneva with its partners in Tallinn (CIFAL Tallinn, Estonia) and Atlanta (CIFAL Atlanta, US), the City Government of Tallinn and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/ AIDS (UNAIDS) in Geneva, in the framework of the CITY-AIDS global initiative.
We expect the delegations from eleven cities (Tallinn, Narva, Riga, Klaipeda, Vilnius, Odessa, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Helsinki, Stockholm, and Oslo) to participate to the workshop, with three representatives from each city, including a municipal official, an NGO coordinator, and a representative from a network of people living with HIV/AIDS. The two and a half day workshop will be dedicated to the use of knowledge management tools to facilitate the sharing of good practices and lessons learned across the region, building regional networks, and developing city action plans for fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the region for the coming years.
Your city is highly encouraged to participate. We invite a political decision maker, a NGO coordinator and a representative from a network of people living with HIV/AIDS from your city to participate in our workshop from the 15 of October to the 18th of October 2008 in Tallinn, Estonian National Library.
