<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">EANNASO will drive a regional HIV prevention agenda that empowers national networks to<br/>
effectively contribute to reducing the HIV incidence rates, by strengthening<br/>
their institutional and programmatic capacities and enhancing the voice of<br/>
CSOs.</span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">VALUES:</span></b></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">In its endeavor to serve its target population, EANNASO will remain true to values that guide programming<br/>
and operations of the organization as a whole. These values form an integral<br/>
part of the strategy and by making them public, commits the organization to<br/>
uphold them:</span></p>
<br/>
<ol style="margin-top: 0in;" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">Integrity: EANNASO staff and members are stewards that believe in professionalism at all levels of service<br/>
delivery, and puts transparency and accountability at the forefront of<br/>
program implementation and the management of public resources</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">Unity: EANNASO supports consultation and participation of all stakeholders at all stages of their interventions and<br/>
works towards creating a sense of belonging and ownership; through sharing<br/>
and promoting a common voice and vision and valuing the strength of<br/>
teamwork to achieve its mission</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">Equity: EANNASO promotes a strong rights orientation that reinforces justice, fairness, respect and compassion.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">Leadership: EANNASO fosters leadership development at all levels, encouraging innovation and excellence through<br/>
continuous learning.</span></li>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">Some of the concerns that could hamper EANNASO reaching its vision that were discussed include:</span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">- Lack of funding therefore hindering implementation</span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">- Challenges of resource mobilization</span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">- Social cultural barriers – that might fuel the spread of HIV</span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">- Change of global priorities</span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">- Access to right information at the right time</span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">- Lack of adequate Capacities (institutional & operational)</span></p>

promote gender amongst our members. EANNASO would like to learn how other<br/>
regional organizations have mainstreamed gender in its programmatic work.</span></p>
