DVD on Religious Leadership
A high level summit held in the Netherlands in March 2010 brought religious leaders from many faiths and around the globe together with people living with HIV and leaders and representatives of organizations active in the response. The aim was to maximize the growing leadership potential of key religious figures particularly in addressing stigma and discrimination.
Their words and testimonies shared in this DVD through speeches and interviews are moving, challenging, inspiring. These words led the religious leaders at the Summit to sign a personal commitment to action, resolving that “together, we must do more.”

IAASTD Fact Sheet
The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) report is the result of a four-year consultative process involving international development agencies, governments, civil society, policy makers, scientists and the private sector. The report clearly shows that current commercial agricultural practices are endangering the planet while also failing to substantially reduce the number of people living in hunger. Its proposals to reverse this trend recognize the importance of environmental protection, smallscale food producers and traditional knowledge, and trade practices that protect local food production. Despite the broad process and its far-reaching findings, governments have given the report little attention. It is up to civil society to promote its findings and push governments to implement its proposals. This fact sheet summarizes the process and findings of the report, and what needs to be done to ensure food security for all.
