UK government announces new funding for positive networks

In a move warmly welcomed by all at the conference, the UK Department for International Development announced on Monday that it will fund three global networks run by, and providing support for, people living with HIV. The Global Networks of People living with HIV and AIDS (GNP+) and International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS (ICW) are both recieving £375,000, while the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITCP) receives £1 million.

The groups are actively engaged in influencing, developing and creating policies that affect the lives of vulnerable groups such as women and children, sex workers, and injecting drug users.

Announcing the money, UK International Development Minister Gareth Thomas said the networks "have encouraged work on improving access to treatment, led the way on innovations such as home based care, and have played a vital role in holding governments to account on effective implementation of their policies".

The money is particularly welcome as it can be used to fund the core infrastructure of the organisations, providing greater stability and possibilities for future development.
