CALL FOR COMMUNITY VILLAGE PROGRAMME PROPOSALS
The 21st edition of the International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa (ICASA 2021) offers a space for the exchange of ideas and experiences, among delegates in general and key actors in particular, to respond to the epidemic so as to introduce, implement, and advocate for effective, evidence-based AIDS and STI's, Tuberculosis (TB), Malaria and emerging diseases interventions in their communities, countries and regions.
ICASA 2021, through the Community Village, avails a platform for PLHIV, Key populations, community leaders, and their partners to showcase their programmes, services, best practices and share experiences and to network so as to own, scale-up and sustain the response towards the end of AIDS.
