[ingodirectors] Repeated Call for Nominations - INGO Representative at HPC

Dear colleagues:

Following our initial Call for Nominations released a month ago, we have 
received only one nomination for an INGO representative at the HIV 
Policy and Programme Coordination Group (HPC), to replace Diana Measham 
who has left Vietnam recently. The nomination has been submitted for 
Matthew Tiedemann, new Country Representative for PACT, Inc. Although 
PACT's institutional memory puts Matthew in a very good position to 
represent INGOs at HPC and to report back to the INGO community, we 
would like to make sure that the election process will have been fully 
democratic. Therefore, I would like to give you one more opportunity to 
email your nominations or to express your own interest for the position 
of the HPC representative by COB Friday 23 July 2010. Following your 
nominations or self-nominations, we will initiate an electronic vote. 
Nominations or self-nominations should be sent to the emails listed on 
the top of this message.

As a gentle reminder, HPC representatives must be senior staff of their 
respective organizations. They must accept the goals of the attached 
Terms of Reference; be committed to the formulation of coordinated 
policy positions; and willing to actively engage in dialogue with 
stakeholders. The HPC is composed of representatives from three UN 
agencies, two multilateral donors, 4 bilateral donors and three INGOs. 
The remaining two INGO representatives are currently from Family Health 
International and Abt Associates.

HPC began as an informal sub-working group of the Ambassadors / Heads of 
Agency Informal HIV Coordination Group. However, they broadened their 
mandate and took an increasingly active role in the formulation of the 
international community’s coordinated and strategic response. The HPC’s 
role includes acting in the international community’s common interests 
in dialogue with the Government of Vietnam and other partners, and 
providing a space for donors, INGOs and UN agencies to work toward 
complementary and coordinated positions on HIV policy and programmatic 
issues. HPC is chaired by UNAIDS, who also serves as their secretariat. 
HPC meetings are held on a bi-monthly basis and sometimes meet as often 
as once a month if there is a need.

For additional information on the HPC membership or HPC in general, 
please contact Ms. Carmen Gonzalez, UNAIDS Programme Officer - 
Coordination at <gonzalezc at unaids.org>

Thank you in advance for responding to this important call.

Marko
