The Global Campaign's presence at Events and Conferences

The Global Campaign's main strategy to reach new constituencies is to sponsor workshops, presentations, and/or events at venues and conferences that attract opinion leaders from the targeted communities. GCM takes every opportunity to work with the communities and NGOs and provide them with the tools, trainings, resources and support to become informed and engaged microbicides advocates!
