HIV Capacity-Building Consortium

NCHSR and eight other Australian HIV organisations have formed an HIV Capacity-Building Consortium to work jointly in the Asia-Pacific region.  This consortium, funded by AusAID, has been set up to strengthen the capacity of organisations and individuals in Asia and the Pacific to respond effectively to HIV and AIDS. It will foster strategic partnerships and linkages between Australia and organisations in the region to enable sustained performance improvement for those working in the HIV/AIDS health care, research and community responses.  The consortium also aims to support engagement in national and regional policy development and policy processes to facilitate in-country cross-sectoral collaboration and productive partnerships with government. The program may also include assisting regional networks to form within and across sectors to support the response.

NCHSR and the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society (ARCSHS) have agreed to collaborate closely on HIV social research capacity building.  The other organisations involved are:
