SCHOLARSHIPS PROGRAMME DEADLINE - NOW EXTENDED TO 10th MARCH, 2007

The 8th ICAAP is committed to increasing the participation of those who require a voice in order to bring about "Waves of Change - Waves of Hope".

Through the award of a substantial number of scholarships it is hoped that the following objectives will be achieved:

1. Greater community participation in decision making
2. Active, committed leadership and not just tokenism
3. Balance between science and community needs
4. An all inclusive process to combat HIV/AIDS

In order to allow people more time we have extended the deadline to 10th March, 2007.

Recommendation to reach us by 10th March. Scholarship Applications

Organisations, PLWH groups, International NGOs, foundations/trusts, CSR projects, academic institutions, donors, government and political

Symposia - deadline 31st march, 2007

We encourage organisations to submit proposals for symposia sessions.

These sessions would be open to all delegates and should deal with
critical issues that defy simple solutions. Focusing on a single,
clearly defined topic or issue, speakers and delegates should share
experiences, contribute relevant research findings and brainstorm ideas to identify opportunities and strategies to create "Waves of Change - Waves of Hope" and possible ways forward.

A single page outline should be forwarded to secretariat@icaap8.lk specifying the session title, brief synopsis, overall objective, expected outcome, proposed chair and speakers (if already identified).
