Forum members need I need to establish a forum of non-governmental organizations and civil society in all countries, and strengthen the network and to promote advocacy and lobbying for equal treatment and care for a forum in the coalition to work together and there we need to educate the public. The e-forum allows people to express Their views freely without any intimidation, expressing views contrary Ratified by the need for an electronic forum Thanks

I am surprised that today,2008,there is still stigma and discrimination on PLHIV in some countries.This calls on the GF and other stakeholders to come up with a framework for intervention because we cannot continue like this.Just like some contributors(Thanks Dr. Cheena) have suggested,there is need for creation of NGOs and CSOs forum in all countries,strengthen the network and beef up advocacy and lobbying for equal treatment,care and support for PLHIV in countries where stigma still exists.Strengthened networks will lead to collective action strong voice to have policies that apply to all.GF has the resources ( the forum members can and would be willing to assist and support the work on this i presume) to put a forum in place Wea re in it together...shall we sit on the fence?...Thank you...

As e-forum by its title suggests that it is web based forum which tries to get various opinions and suggestions from the people from different regions of the world. This kind of e-discussion might be a great effort to make people aware of current and prevailing diseases in the world. But in the developing countries like Nepal, such discussions could be made successful only if we could carry out such events in the local population. So, in my opinion, GF should give priorities to the works that are community focused.

my suggestion of next e-forum is: How can Globalfund open offices around the world? How can Globalfund participate stakeholders to talk their needs? How can Globalfund train every country three to four persons workwith Globalfund activiities? How can globalfund establish forum united all over the world like general assembly of United Nations? How can Globalfund Audit the budget give the Partners? How can Globalfund get new partners especially the countries under sub sahara countries?

I believe the GF can make meaningful impact on the fight against HIV,TB and Malaria if this information and contributions (the weekly summaries)are shared with other stakeholders and partners working in HIV&AIDS,Malaria and TB ie the CSOs,governments,and communities through the Community Based Organizations and Structures,the private sector among others.This can also be done through the media both electronic and print which can be put in use to fight HIV,Malaria and TB,to highlight and intervene on the burden of community and home based care to women and girls,promote prevention,counselling,Treatment Care and Support.In this way a wider scope will be reached with information hence positive impact since people will be operating from the know. I also believe peoples' contributions are important and are diverse because they are based on work and experiences in their working areas,regions and countries.They should be an addition to the wider community(global village) thought forms in interventions.Shared learning is very important...it makes it all so participatory and should be disseminated to relevant stakeholders...including non forum members... Thank you fellow professionals...we are in it together...

Dear members, Global fund should in the next e-forum allow people to express their opinion freely without any intimidation from any members of the facilitating team as well as other members of the e-forum Global fund should in the next e-forum think of motivating members There should be protection of the people views On the support fom the technical team there should be a way of joining the discussion room without necessarily requiring password because here i have been exoerincing the problem of change in my password Otherwise the e-forum is a very good ideas for members to share experiences, views, lesson learnt Thans Collins Kidega

Should be expand in every where like in newspapers, magazines, hoardings, website, FM/AM Radio, etc,. Because i had get so much of experience in the field of HIV/AIDS. Their have so much of stigma and discrimination between PLHA and General population in the society, office, shop, employement recuritment etc,.
