International HIV/AIDS Alliance

The Alliance is a network of national, independent, locally governed and managed linking organisations. The Alliance provides linking organisations with technical and financial assistance. In turn, the linking organisations support and develop thousands more non-governmental and community-based organisations in more than 40 countries. The Alliance was founded in 1993 and since then their secretariat has been based in the UK. Their work in Latin America and the Caribbean focuses on those populations key to the dynamics of the epidemic; people living with HIV, men who have sex with men, female sex workers, transgenders and injecting drug users. The organisation's mission is to support community organisations so that they may play a stronger role within the response to the epidemic. http://www.aidsalliance.org

OBSERVATORIO LATINO

The Observatorio Latino was founded in 2005 in response to the need for an initiative that acts as a watchdog and facilitates the monitoring and the improvement of activities and processes related to the Global Fund against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Observatorio Latino's work also seeks to increase the participation of communities affected by the diseases in Global Fund decision-making processes. In order to maintain its independence and impartiality, the Observatorio Latino does not receive any donations or any other financial support from the Global Fund. http://www.observatoriolatino.org

UNAIDS

UNAIDS, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, is an innovative joint venture of the United Nations family, bringing together the efforts and resources of ten UN system organisations in the AIDS response to help the world prevent new HIV infections, care for people living with HIV, and mitigate the impact of the epidemic. With its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, the UNAIDS Secretariat works on the ground in more than 80 countries worldwide. Coherent action on AIDS by the UN system is coordinated in countries through the UN theme groups, and the joint programmes on AIDS. UNAIDS helps mount and support an expanded response to AIDS – one that engages the efforts of many sectors and partners from government and civil society. UNAIDS has a close partnership with the Global Fund in several areas, including supporting the Fund’s full grant cycle – from the development of AIDS grant proposals to programme implementation to monitoring and evaluation. http://www.unaids.org

UNITED NATIONS FOUNDATION

The United Nations Foundation, a public charity, was created in 1998 with entrepreneur and philanthropist Ted Turner’s historic $1 billion gift to support UN causes and activities. The UN Foundation implements public/private partnerships to address the world’s most pressing problems, and works to broaden support for the UN through advocacy and public outreach. Through its campaigns and partnerships, the UN Foundation connects people, ideas, and resources to help the UN solve global problems. The campaigns the organization conducts reduce child mortality, empower women and girls, create a new energy future, secure peace and human rights, and promote technology innovation to improve health outcomes.
