UK Government Consultation
with NGOs and Civil Society
The UK Government has now produced its new strategy on HIV/AIDS*.
The Strategy builds on the conceptual foundation of the UK Call
for Action paper published December 2003 to set out the UK's planned
response to tackle HIV/AIDS internationally.
As part of the process of developing this strategy, and at
the Department for International Development's request, the Consortium
on AIDS and International Development co-ordinated a consultation
with NGOs and Civil Society. The objective was to ensure the widest
possible consultation amongst Consortium members (and where possible
their country offices and partners).
Synthesised comments from the written responses from Civil
Society to the Draft UK Governments New Strategy on HIV and AIDS
in the Developing World. The Document is structured in 4 parts:
General comments, responses to the 7 questions, responses to the
18 questions in the Treatment and Care Paper and appendices.

Extract from the 'Consultation Document on the UK Government's
New Strategy on HIV/AIDS in the Developing World'. Department for
International Development, April 2004
"This Consultation Document has been
prepared as part of the process of producing a new UK Government
Strategy on HIV/AIDS. It is not a statement of government policy
but rather a paper to encourage feedback and ideas on what should
become UK policy. The document describes actions that the UK Government
is proposing need to be taken as part of the global response to
the epidemic. This Consultation Document continues the discussion
initiated by the UK Government’s Call for Action on HIV/AIDS
and will serve as the basis for a far-reaching consultation with
civil society, NGOs, international, multilateral and donor bodies,
the private sector and developing country Governments.
The new Strategy will be published later this year. The primary
question being posed during this period of consultation is: what
role should the UK Government play in the global response to HIV/AIDS?
In particular:· How best can the UK Government work with
its partners?· What is the best balance between UK led action
and our support of international action?· What is the best
balance between multilateral, bilateral and research activity?·
What should be the balance of work with Government, civil society
and the private sector? · What should be the balance between
prevention, treatment and care, and impact mitigation?· How
should the UK focus its attention between emerging epidemics and
highly affected countries? · How much attention should be
given to Middle Income Countries (especially those risking greater
impoverishment because of HIV/AIDS)?" [extract]
