Minimum standards for civil society participation in the universal access initiative.

Date: August 2007.

Description: The universal access initiative refers to the commitment by United Nations member states to scale up HIV prevention, treatment, care and support to reach all who need it by 2010. Universal access processes will be integrated into national responses to HIV and AIDS and monitored at the national, regional and international level. The involvement of civil society in all processes related to universal access is essential to its implementation and outcomes.

This document, developed with input from civil society participants and organizations from the Asia-Pacifi c region, proposes a process and framework to encourage minimum standards for civil society participation in universal access processes, in other words, that a minimum set of requirements, actions, conditions or adherence to principles for civil society participation in universal access will be met and agreed to by governments and civil society.
