Dear friends in the fight against HIV/AIDS,
Now it is the time to overcharge the contact with your national government representatives in order to secure a proper place for your organization in the delegation that is going to the UNGASS-AIDS High Level Meeting, in New York City, in June 10-11.
UNAIDS has stimulated the countries to have a broader civil society participation in national process, as you can find in the page 17 of the 2008 UNAIDS Guidelines on Monitoring the DoC:

The deadline for the the General Assembly Presiden send to the contries the list of NGO that asked for creditation is March 31st.
There is no deadline for governments to include NGOs in the national delegation. However we strongly recomend that civil society should start contacting your government immediately, looking for a well represented participation at the national delegation in June.
This is the pressing issue for our advocacy strategy towards making the civil society contribution recognized as valuable and indispensable in the fight against the epidemic, both in a local and in a global level, bringing it up a notch in the political realm.
Best of good work.
