Building policy and advocacy capacity in Southeast Asia (pdf 392kb)

The theme of this workshop was the development of policy and advocacy skills to enhance understanding of, and advocacy for, HIV treatment access in the Southeast Asia region. The workshop's key objectives were to engage participants and their organisations on the issue of access to treatment, and to build capacity and knowledge in the area so that both national and regional advocacy for improved treatment access will increase and be more effective.

The workshop included presentations and action-oriented discussions on developing national treatment plans, advocacy strategies and plans, WTO and patent issues and research-based and generic pharmaceutical companies. It featured a panel discussion on successful treatment access advocacy in Thailand and Cambodia, and access-related case-studies in the workshop's host country of Thailand.
