ensure that community-based organisations, particularly those with fewer resources and within affected communities, are strengthened in their work to prevent HIV infection, and to provide treatment, care and support for people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS;
promote the greater involvement of people living with, and affected by HIV/AIDS in all aspects of prevention, treatment, care and support, and research; and
promote human rights in the development and implementation of policies and programmes responding to all aspects of HIV/AIDS.

ICASO abstract and presentation toolkit |
The ICASO website has created an abstract and presentation toolkit for people working in the HIV/AIDS field and others considering attending the International AIDS Conference in Toronto (August 2006).
The toolkit is designed to help abstract submitters:
Develop a presentation that goes beyond the description of their work or research;
Write an abstract that is clear, concise and interesting enough to a) be accepted by the conference and b) entice people to come to their presentation;and
Prepare for and deliver a presentation or poster that will be informative and also stimulate discussion
The French and Portuguese versions of the toolkit will be available in the near future.
