Project presentation: From research to action in Burundi Using evidence gathered by people living with HIV to inform advocacy
The Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+), is a network for people living with HIV, run by people living with HIV. They engage with and support national and regional networks of people living with HIV this ensures that our global work is grounded in their local experiences and priorities. The meaningful involvement of people living with HIV is at the heart of all their work.
GNP+ works with communities that are both geographic and identity-based. They are not a membership organisation, but rather a network of interconnected individuals and organisations that is open to all.
They build broad partnerships with individuals, organisations and institutions to increase our influence. Using the power of evidence-based advocacy, GNP+ challenges governments and global leaders to improve access to quality HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services.
