What did we
want from the
conference?
Wish we had asked that question more emphatically a few months
ago!!
Expectations
• Highlight need for focus
(geographic, key pops, cities
focus)
• Position MSM issues at the
centre of the Asian response
• Need for innovation -
community based testing and
treatment
• Smarter investments, highlight
diminishing external financing
and need to move towards
innovative financing

Three Zeroes
The good, bad and ugly
• Excellent participation, dynamics and engagement of
key stakeholders
• Significant number of ‘new’ participants
• Excellent media coverage
• Excellent use of technology
• Too many sessions
• NATO - So what?
• Poor accountability and follow up systems
Pulse…• HIV is still relevant and should not be left out of the post
2015 agenda
• Broad consensus on need for greater focus – both
geographical and emphasis on key populations
• Need for scaling up treatment and centrality of community in
testing and treatment scale up
• Recognition of the changing financial landscape and need
for prioritization and moving beyond dependency
• Recognition of need for human rights centered responses
and need to address stigma discrimination issues
• Do regional conferences in current environment
have an impact?
• What do conferences really aim to achieve? Are
there different business models that can be
explored?
• What was the transaction cost and is this a good
investment?
• How can we make the most of what we have?
So, what does all this mean?
