1. How to become a member?

To apply for membership, you shold consider that your organisation is:

• a civil society organisation:

Commitment of members

We consider membership a two-way process. It enables you to share your best practices at the European level while at the same time you can learn from other experiences. Members contribute to and promote AIDS Action Europe's political decisions, policies and programmes in their countries. Membership means commitment for action.We welcome voluntary contributions, financial or in-kind, from members, as we depend on external support to enable the partnership to develop further.

The AIDS Action Europe Steering Committee reserves the right to review the membership status of any member organisation and the right to revoke the membership if a member is found to be not in line with the mission of AIDS Action Europe or have violated our ethical code.
