PANCAP to host 9th meeting of national AIDS programme managers
Kaieteur News- The Pan Caribbean Partnership Against HIV and AIDS (PANCAP) has announced that its Ninth Meeting of National AIDS Programme (NAP) Managers and Key Partners is scheduled to take place from March 17 to 19, 2025, in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
Dr. Wendy Telgt Emanuleson, Director, PANCAP Coordinating Unit (PCU)
This pivotal event will bring NAP managers, regional health officials, civil society representatives, international partners, and key stakeholders to evaluate progress, address gaps, foster innovation, build capacity, and strengthen partnerships to advance sustainable and impactful HIV responses in the Caribbean. According to a press release by PANCAP, the meeting will focus on critical areas such as advancing HIV prevention, treatment, and care strategies, addressing persistent challenges in the regional HIV response, leveraging innovative technologies and approaches to improve health outcomes, and strengthening partnerships to ensure a sustainable and inclusive response.
Dr. Shanti Singh Anthony, Coordinator, Knowledge Management, PANCAP Coordinating Unit (PCU), stated, “Once again, we provide a unique platform for NAP Managers, policymakers, civil society organisations, and international partners to meet and exchange knowledge, build capacity, align efforts, share insights, and develop actionable strategies to achieve a more coordinated and coherent regional HIV response.”
Director of the PANCAP Coordinating Unit, Dr. Wendy Telgt Emanuelson added, “While the Caribbean is making commendable strides towards achieving the 95-95-95 prevention targets, some gaps and challenges threaten the sustainability of the progress. As international donor funding diminishes, the urgency to transition to sustainable, locally-driven solutions has never been greater.” She also emphasised, “Now is the time for regional governments, the private sector, civil society organizations, stakeholders and communities to unite and invest in resilient health systems and prioritize long-term strategies that ensure no one is left behind.”

PANCAP is a Caribbean regional partnership of governments, regional civil society organizations, regional institutions and organizations, bilateral and multilateral agencies and contributing donor partners established on 14 February 2001. PANCAP provides a structured and unified approach to the Caribbean’s response to the HIV epidemic and coordinates the response through the Caribbean Regional Strategic Framework on HIV and AIDS to maximize the efficient use of resources and increase impact, mobilise resources and build the capacity of partners.
