This networking zone at AIDS 2012 in Washington D.C. focuses on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It is hosted by the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC), the MENA Regional Network (MENARO), and Think Positive Lebanon.
The event aims to increase visibility and support for civil society organizations in the MENA region to engage with global fund opportunities and advocacy for the rights of people living with HIV amidst a growing epidemic. It will include lunch discussions addressing issues like funding, research, enabling environments, and technical assistance. The networking zone also features a photography exhibition on new leaders in the Moroccan response to HIV.
