Join the #PEPFARWatch webinars to building community priorities for #COP22

01/19/2022

The PEPFAR Watch network will be holding a series of webinars in January and February 2022 in order to assist in defining the technical detail on community priorities.

The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is the largest source of funding for the HIV response globally. It is critical that this money is used in accordance with the needs of people living with HIV, Key Populations, and other affected communities.

In order to ensure this, PEPFAR Watch brings together activists ahead of the COP planning process cycle to develop a priority list of recommendations to demand from PEPFAR. This will be the basis of what you demand from the PEPFAR teams throughout the COP cycle.

If you’re interested in joining any of these webinars then sign up below.

All webinars will take place at DC 8 am | Johannesburg 3 pm | Nairobi 4pm. Simultaneous translation will be available in French and Swahili.
