  • Taskforce to draft intro email (in English & French) with link to be sent
  • TO IASC partners and missions (TF cochairs through IASC secretariat )
  • to list servs
  • to key emergency and HIV journals

Regional/country level:

  • Hard copy distribution should be primarily to country level where access to internet may be slow /nonexistent
  • Regional mechanisms on HIV (including JURTA where these exist) should lead in formulation of dissemination plans for their regions
  • At country level, the Humanitarian Country team should work together with the UCC and JUNTA on rollout and dissemination
  • Needs for hard copy by language to be estimated and country level reprinting in the relevant languages to be started asap for global taskforce priority countries
  • For each priority country identified dissemination to be responsibility of key country level partners (including NGO) and through active dissemination workshops
  • Guidelines to be promoted at regional meetings, conferences etc

Trainings

The guidelines will be disseminated by mechanisms as above with a training package[1]. The task force will ensure this training package is actively rolled out in up to 5 key countries[2]. This, to support effective dissemination of the guidelines in these countries in order to collect key information on their use and effectiveness. Other rollout activities will be undertaken by partners in their priority countries

Budget (TBD- based on discussions with country based partners) up to $100,000 available to support rollout
