First Civil Society Consultation for NACP 4

Dear members and well wishers,

FYI and sorry for cross-posting.

Dear Civil Society Friends,

As we draw closer to the 12th of May, when the First Civil Society
Consultation for NACP 4 will take place at Delhi, we must say the response has been significant.

The group of organizations that met at Delhi on 21st April, that drafted the memorandum to NACO had mooted the Civil Society
Consultation and went ahead with booking of the venue ( Constitution Club Delhi) through contributions raised in the very meeting anticipating that about 80 people from all over the country will participate.

Many of you have seen the announcement appear in this forum and have written back to Lalit Mohan confirming your participation. Lalit has been collating the list as well as written back to you.

We are posting a registration form seeking some information from you so that we can be sure of the number, organize the logistics, set the agenda and organize group work.

We request you all to take a few minutes and fill up the attached form and send it back to Lalit Mohan through email (lalit.mohan@lawyerscollective.org).

Since many of the participants are people living with HIV and women with small children or requiring language translation - since meeting will be in English, we wanted to know if there may be such special requirements. Hence the registration form is important.

If you can please send in the filled in registration form by Tuesday 4 pm latest, it will help us in organizing ourselves better. The Address of the Venue and Contact Details are furnished below once again.

Please do send this final announcement to all people you think should know about it so that we have a wide consultation.

As we had already mentioned earlier, this meeting is not funded and
therefore participants will have to organize their travel and accommodation if required. What we will be able to provide are, during the day, 2 rounds of refreshments with tea and lunch.

We all look forward to participation and involvement, not only in this meeting but throughout the process of NACP4 preparation and implementation. The epidemic is not over. It is still posing
clear and present danger. We have been responsive in the past and we need to be so in the future. Mitigating the impact of HIV is critical and "Together We Can"

Yours In Solidarity
