Community Activism Needed In Global HIV Response

Open Society Foundations’ “Voices”: Yes, Strengthen the Health System — But Strengthen It for All
Christine Stegling, executive director of the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC), discusses the importance of community activism in continuing to improve HIV treatment access, writing, “There is a need for community activists to monitor service provision at a time when national governments increasingly take responsibility for the delivery of HIV services. We need to repoliticize the AIDS movement to counter the complacency and bureaucratization of community engagement” (9/22).
