The Pan-Caribbean Partnership against HIV and AIDS (PANCAP), <\/strong>the mechanism that provides a structured and unified approach to the Caribbean\u2019s response to the HIV epidemic, <\/em><\/strong>convened the Second joint regional dialogue with parliamentarians, faith leaders, civil society leaders, national AIDS programme managers and youth leaders <\/strong>in Port-of-Spain, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago on 10 September 2019.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mr Ian Ramdahin Permanent Secretary (ag), Secretariat of the National AIDS Coordinating Committee (NACC), Office of the Prime Minister, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago<\/strong> delivered remarks on behalf of Hon Ayana Webster-Roy, Minister of State in the Office of the Prime Minister, holding the portfolios of Gender and Child Affairs, Ecclesiastical Affairs and Central Administration Services, Tobago.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mr Ramdahin emphasised that as the 2020 juncture for reporting on how each country and the region, as a whole, would have performed regarding the 2020 targets set by UNAIDS, assessing progress<\/strong> with responses to date in combatting HIV and AIDS is of paramount importance.\u00a0 He noted this will highlight and influence the adjustments required to chart the new roadmap for guiding the level of scale-up necessary for achieving the more significant target of \u201cEnding AIDS by 2030.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The permanent secretary praised PANCAP for the concerted effort in mobilising and engaging the key stakeholders comprising Parliamentarians, Faith Leaders, Civil Society Leaders, National AIDS Programme (NAP) Managers and Youth Leaders.\u00a0 He stated that these stakeholders have important and influential roles in determining how we protect those who are most vulnerable to HIV; and care, treat and respect those who are living with HIV and AIDS.\u00a0 \u201cI must commend PANCAP for establishing the mechanisms for monitoring the arrangements in place for responding to the HIV disease, which allows us to gauge and report on the progress to date,\u201d stated Mr Ramdahin, \u201cThrough PANCAP\u2019s sustained efforts, we are able to identify and re-evaluate the areas in need of redress or further collaboration, and ensure that there is ongoing follow-up action\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mr Ramdahin further stated that \u201cin aiming for our target of an AIDS-free world by 2030, where new infections are almost negligible, we must remember at the heart of this global campaign is the \u201cprotection of the dignity of Human Rights<\/strong>\u201d, which is critical for attaining our Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He noted that geopolitical instability, escalating impacts of climate change and unanticipated financial hurdles are impacting negatively to cause shifting of the disease burden and straining the Region\u2019s ability to mobilize the much-needed resources to mount an effective response. \u00a0\u201cWe can all agree that if we are to collectively work together towards the goal of ending AIDS by 2030, introspection at the \u2018individual and regional governance levels\u2019 are necessary for fostering \u2018greater collaboration\u2019 among all stakeholders\u201d, stated Mr Ramdahin.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

He further emphasised that in achieving this state of \u201cgreater collaboration\u201d, it is incumbent that part of the focus of the Second regional dialogue must be centred around conversations that are geared towards aligning synergies for creating a more diversely inclusive environment that is free of biases, mistrust, phobias, stigma and discrimination,<\/strong> especially at the national and regional levels, where we can more efficiently identify tools and strategies to augment \u201ccommunication and collaboration\u201d of a richer and deeper quality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s forum represents a great opportunity for individuals and their organizations to network and examine societal norms, attitudes and value systems that manifest as communication barriers, which ultimately impede the HIV and AIDS response at the national and regional levels,\u201d stated the permanent secretary, \u201cbased on my experience, I would have learnt that the key to the success of any response, be it an oil spill response, natural disaster response or a response to an epidemic such as HIV is rooted in the people who inspire, shape, drive and manoeuvre the response. People are the main determinants in any response and can either make it or break it\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

He reminded the participants that they are the ones who have been empowered to determine the fate of the region as it pertains to HIV and AIDS.\u00a0 He urged stakeholders to rise to their call of duty and make meaningful contributions for ensuring the removal of all of the barriers for achieving the goal of ending AIDS by 2030.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

He stated, \u201cPlease be cautioned that if we fail to unmask or decode the barriers because of our personal biases on human rights, the net result will be that we will fail to effectively strategize and fail to meet the diverse needs of our vulnerable groups within the landscape of the response\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The permanent secretary warned that if key populations vulnerable to HIV are allowed to go unchecked, untreated and unsupported in any country, then society as a whole will ultimately suffer. He stated that the region recognises that HIV and AIDS are a critical development problem which affects the quality of life, labour, families, communities and the national economy – in the present and future. \u201cWe do not want to be in this state, so let us all work together for the common good of humanity<\/strong>\u201d, stated Mr Ramdahin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He further emphasised that the Region can rest assured that the improvements expressed and gains achieved thus far, as well as the forthcoming recommendations, will not only serve to foster an efficient and sustained response to HIV and AIDS within the region but also contribute to other areas that impact on communities\u2019 health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He challenged participants to take a deep insightful look at the PANCAP\u2019s Justice-For-All programme, which encompasses the adoption of the CARICOM Model Anti-Discrimination Legislation 2012; give due consideration to recommendations that will improve the mechanisms for enhanced inter-regional collaboration within CARICOM member States; and take into consideration the targets established by the United Nations High-Level Meeting Political Declaration June 2016 on ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030; the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) approved by 192 nations at the United Nations in September 2015; and the commitments made by\u00a0 civil society, faith-based and other implementing stakeholder groups.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the successes to date, let us not become complacent or despondent about the world economic and financial downturns. We are here on a mission and tasked with ascertaining \u201cinnovative ways\u201d for addressing how to sustain our responses for ending HIV and AIDS by 2030\u201d stated Mr Ramdahin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He further stated that the future goal of ending AIDS by 2030 is achievable and will only be sustained through the collective efforts of Parliamentarians, Faith Leaders, Civil Society Leaders, Youth and National AIDS Programme (NAP) Managers working in harmony to ensure open, honest and consistent dialogue and collaboration to unlock and overcome the barriers for achieving our regional and international goals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIn making your respective contributions at this second Regional Dialogue, please be guided by CARICOM\u2019s Vision statement which proposes a \u201cCaribbean Community that is integrated, inclusive and resilient; driven by knowledge, excellence, innovation and productivity; a Community where every citizen is secure and has the opportunity to realise his or her potential with guaranteed human rights and social justice;<\/strong> and contributes to, and shares in, its economic, social and cultural prosperity; a Community which is a unified and competitive force in the global arena<\/strong>,\u201d stated Mr Mr Ramdahin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He advised that a vision is needed to start the process of charting the course and invited stakeholders to keep this vision in mind as they deliberate on the joint National and Regional Level Policy Formulation and Activities for advancing the short, medium and long term goals of the PANCAP\u2019s Justice For All Roadmap.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the obstacles and challenges currently faced by many countries in the region, I would like to re-affirm Trinidad and Tobago\u2019s commitment towards establishing an enabling environment for meeting the 90-90-90 Targets in 2020 and continued support for programmatic activities thereafter for ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030,\u201d stated the PS.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He highlighted that the Second Dialogue represents yet another step in the way forward for laying the foundations for increasing engagement and promoting solidarity among stakeholder groups and the persons we serve.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mr Ramdahin thanked the stakeholders for their unwavering commitment and engagement in the regional dialogue. He stated \u201cthe journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.\u00a0 Let us wisely deliberate to strategise our next steps to determine the response tools and mechanisms for achieving the desired results.\u00a0 I truly believe that an AIDS-free generation is certainly within our reach, but we must remain loyal and work in tandem with PANCAP to achieve the goals set before us\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In opening remarks, Director of PANCAP, Dereck Springer<\/strong>, reflected on the First Joint Regional Dialogue held in April 2018 which brought together Parliamentarians representing Government and Opposition, Members of the Regional Faith Leaders Steering Committee and other selected Faith Leaders, Regional Civil Society Leaders who work with Key Populations, members of the PANCAP Youth Advocacy Steering Committee and National AIDS Programme Managers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Director noted that the stakeholders of the first regional dialogue held in April 2018 provided recommendations including the need to create guidelines for respectful dialogue between key populations leaders and faith leaders.\u00a0 In response, PANCAP prepared general principles designed to assist and support respectful dialogue between and among stakeholders, especially in cases where discussions are centered on sensitive and controversial issues. These include discussions that may involve social, cultural and doctrinal issues in conflict with each other.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another recommendation from the first dialogue was the review and revision of the PANCAP Justice for all (JFA) Roadmap (2014) in light of developments over the last five years.\u00a0 In response, PANCAP, with inputs from various stakeholders\u2019 dialogue, revised the JFA Roadmap<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Director of PANCAP also highlighted that during the 2018 meeting, faith leaders indicated that they could not endorse the UNESCO Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) models since they were unfamiliar with them.\u00a0 To improve their understanding, PANCAP developed nine infographics which illustrate the key components of the CSE models.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Director further explained that the Second Regional Dialogue is positioned within the new Caribbean Regional Strategic Framework on HIV and AIDS (CRSF) 2019 \u2013 2025. He emphasised that the CRSF articulates the vision, goals, objectives, strategic priorities and key strategies which will guide the Region\u2019s HIV response over the next six years.\u00a0 \u201cWe are moving closer to ending AIDS, so we need all hands on deck,\u201d stated Mr Springer, \u201cWith that in mind, we are required to be bold and innovative as reflected by the strategies within the CRSF 2019-2025.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The meeting applauded the Director\u2019s announcement of the award of the US$6,500.00 for the Multi-country Caribbean grant for PANCAP, the Caribbean Vulnerable Communities Coalition (CVC) and the Centro de Orientaci\u00f3n e Investigaci\u00f3n Integral (COIN) by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria from October 2019 to September 2022. He noted that the new grant is unique since it is a joint PANCAP-CVC-COIN collaboration.\u00a0 \u201cThe Grant is a demonstration of the collaboration between Governments and civil society partners,\u201d stated Mr Springer, \u201cit illustrates the critical need for us to ensure that we position civil society as key partners within the HIV response\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr John Waters, Programme Manager, CVC<\/strong> delivered remarks on behalf Mr Ivanhoe Cruikshank, Executive Director, CVC.\u00a0 He briefly reflected on the progress made on documenting human rights abuses.\u00a0 He stated that this has been a priority of CVC and its partners since human rights abuses involving vulnerable groups are not given the attention they deserve. He highlighted that CVC has developed the Shared Incident Database (SID) for systematically documenting abuses and has provided the impetus for vulnerable groups to report and speak out against stigma and discrimination.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr Waters explained that CVC currently has in excess of 40 civil society partners registered with SID that are documenting human rights abuses throughout the Region.\u00a0 He also highlighted CVC\u2019s dedicated team of community paralegals who were trained to assist in the documentation of human rights abuse cases.\u00a0 Dr Waters also highlighted that CVC has created a cohort of human rights lawyers who champion cases involving vulnerable groups and discrimination. He emphasised that these initiatives have resulted in progress with regard to CVC\u2019s engagement with policymakers and Governments.\u00a0 He stated, \u201cWe are beginning to see some tangible results in achieving justice for all\u201d.<\/p>\n
