Mr President, I am in direct contact with a Vietnamese NGO fighting the spread of HIV/AIDS. It has stressed to me the importance of full access to anti-retroviral drugs, not least because many more people come forward for voluntary testing when there is effective treatment available for those who test positive.
However, I am also told that there are real practical problems with European Commission funding. It is only very local, community-level projects that can manage to overcome stigma and discrimination and get people to talk about sex openly and that offer individual counselling and care. Yet these local NGOs, which deliver significant success in terms of changed attitudes towards AIDS, find that their applications for European funding are often turned down.
Would the Commission be prepared to offer more support in the funding process and better feedback to NGO applicants?"@en1
