RÉSUMÉ Plusieurs mois avant la Conférence internationale sur le SIDA (AIDS2022), les organisations dirigées par des communautés ont été informées des difficultés relatives à la demande de visas, notamment l'obligation de passer des examens médicaux et les rejets. Une petite équipe d'activistes a cherché à comprendre les raisons de cette situation et comment l'éviter à l'avenir. Espérons que les organisateurs d'AIDS2022 tiendront compte des leçons apprises pour la prochaine conférence.

ABSTRACT Several months before the International AIDS Conference (AIDS2022), community-led organizations received information about the difficulties in applying for visas, including the requirement of medical exams and rejections. A small team of activists has looked into why this happened and how it could be avoided in the future. It is to be hoped that the AIDS2022 organizers will take on board the lessons learnt for the next conference.

ABSTRACT The G7 countries, the world’s most advanced economies – Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States – are the Global Fund’s largest donors, and their contributions account for approximately 79% of all the funds raised by the Global Fund thus far. Their contributions have increased steadily since the Global Fund’s inception. So far, five of the seven countries – Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom – have announced their pledges for the 2020-2022 replenishment cycle, most of which have increased by about 15% relative to the last replenishment.
