Faith Advocacy Toolkit

Advocacy for universal access: a toolkit for faith-based organisation

This toolkit was written to equip and inspire people of faith to use the strength of their communities to advocate for the achievement of universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support for all.

The need for this resource was identified by faith- based organisations (FBOs) who requested more information about universal access in order to hold their governments accountable to their commitments.

This resource includes a background on faith- based responses to the pandemic, tools for planning advocacy campaigns, and overviews the existing commitments by governments to universal access.

Achieving universal access will take everyone working together – across religion, nationality, ethnicity, gender, regardless of age, income or HIV status. It will take a movement, and people of faith are called to be leaders in this movement, working in partnership with the communities most affected by HIV, as well as governments and donors.
