About Us
What is the World AIDS Campaign?
The World AIDS Campaign is a global coalition of national, regional and international civil society groups united by the call for governments to honour their AIDS commitments under the slogan “Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise.” The campaign is governed by a steering committee of global constituency-based networks and supported by a team of support staff based primarily in Cape Town, South Africa and partially in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Mission
World AIDS Campaign has been established to strengthen and connect the advocacy and campaigning activities of civil society that target governments and other stakeholders to deliver on their promises and commitments on HIV and AIDS. Whether that is with politicians, policy makers, the donor community or those countries most affected by HIV or indeed a multilateral agency or civil society, the aim is to create a unified voice on the need to take the action necessary to scale up the response to HIV.
Strategic Framework
Each year, World AIDS Campaign creates a detailed work plan that is based on overarching objectives and activities that guide the work. The objectives for 2008 and 2010 are based on a framework that was agreed to by the Global Steering Committee in 2007. The framework will continue to evolve based on our experiences and lessons learned together with our country, regional and international partners.
