The mission of the Global Health Council's Global AIDS Program is to share information and influence policy on global AIDS activities and issues. The program supports the critical role of non-governmental organizations in responding to the AIDS epidemic.

In collaboration with domestic AIDS organizations and other non-traditional participants in international efforts, the program focuses on regional and international AIDS networks based outside the U.S.A., while emphasizing the important leadership role of the U.S.A. in global AIDS efforts.

Program activities include:

the publication of AIDSLink®, a bimonthly newsletter reporting on global AIDS activities and issues related to the work of NGOs

information collection and exchange

educational advocacy and networking mechanisms

In addition, the program co-sponsors World AIDS Day activities in Washington, D.C., is a key participant in the International Conference on HIV/AIDS, holds Congressional briefings, carries out an AIDS advocacy program and publishes the Global AIDS Directory 2000-2003.
