Partner Spotlight: Myanmar Positive Group
Myanmar Positive Group (MPG) was first established in March 2005 as the GIPA Initiative Group by 9 People Living with HIV (PLHIV), with support from the International HIV/AIDS Alliance and UNDP. MPG’s vision is to create a better life for HIV positive people by networking with all Self Help Groups in Myanmar and, ultimately, the establishment of a formal national network. Their mission is to represent PLHIV and their families for the sustainable and meaningful involvement of PLHIV in prevention, care and support and the overall HIV/AIDS response in Myanmar. MPG is a network coordinated and in collaboration with key stakeholders and civil society organizations. Their main objectives are: (1) To represent PLHIV in Myanmar at all levels; (2) to build the skills of PLHIV to increase their access and involvement in decisions affecting them; (3) to reduce stigma and discrimination against PLHIV; (4) to promote networking among PLHIV and Self Help Groups; and (5) to advocate for PLHIV’s right to access treatment and services.

An Announcement from Asia Catalyst
Dear colleagues and partners,
After almost three years of successfully leading Asia Catalyst as Executive Director, Charmain Mohamed is to move on next year. During her time at the helm, Charmain has hugely expanded Asia Catalyst’s Asia regional presence. She oversaw the opening of Asia Catalyst’s Thailand office and Thai foundation registration, directed the launch of several new programs, and forged vital relationships with new donors and partners.
As Asia Catalyst’s first Executive Director in-post following the departure of our founding ED in 2013, Charmain had huge shoes to fill. We are proud to report that she filled them and then some. We will miss her leadership—and her incredible taste in afternoon teas—and we wish her nothing but the best as she returns home to be with family in London. It goes without saying that Charmain’s strong vision and expert grasp of human rights law and advocacy has laid the groundwork for Asia Catalyst success for many years to come. (more…)
