Hi everyone,
Today i would like to introduce you my newest organisation - Global Youth Coalition of HIV/AIDS.Now I am National Focal Point of GYCA.
The Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AIDS (GYCA) is a youth-led, UNAIDS and UNFPA supported alliance of over 3500 young leaders and adult allies working in over 150 countries worldwide. Of the 2.5 million people infected yearly, young people account for 40 percent of new infections. GYCA empowers young leaders with the skills, knowledge, resources and opportunities they need to scale up HIV/AIDS interventions amongst their peers.
GYCA prioritizes: 1) Networking and sharing of best practices; 2) Technical assistance and capacity building; 3) Political advocacy; and 4) Preparation for international conferences. GYCA operates on two tiers. The first is through information communication technology (ICT), with free capacity-building e-courses, discussion forums, and online resources; the second through local gatherings and regional partnerships.
GYCA is spearheaded by a task force of youth and adult allies based internationally including 12 Regional Focal Points (RFPs) and their regional teams with National Focal Points, and three full time staff based at the Global Youth Action Network (a registered 501c3 non-profit organization, www.youthlink.org), GYCA’s North Secretariat host in New York, as well as one full time staff person at GYCA’s South Secretariat in Accra, Ghana.
GYCA has a growing membership representing an array of organizations, programs and networks focusing on youth and HIV/AIDS. GYCA taskforce members include youth living with HIV and AIDS, and the Coalition is committed to working with and for excluded youth such as injecting drug users (IDUs), street children, youth who identify as LGBTQI, sex workers and youth in resource-constrained areas without access to information communication technology (ICT).
