Abner Speaks at World Economic Forum Panel
I was honored to speak on a panel entitled "Impacting Health through
Multistakeholder Action", sponsored by the World Economic Forum and
Co-organized by the Pan American Health Organization and held in Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil on April 14 in conjunction with the Forum's 2009 Latin
America Conference.
My talk was entitled "The NGO Perspective, Opportunities and
Challenges of Public-private Partnerships", and focused on the hurdles
that must be overcome to build effective sustainable public-private
partnerships to address the dramatic rise in chronic disease. Using our
successful effort to organize the business response to HIV/AIDS in
Mexico and Jamaica as an example, my talk addressed how we can
overcome the "trust gap" that exist between companies in the private
sector and their government and NGO counterparts.

Abner Leads Test for Life Townhall Meetings
In 2006, through a series of Townhall meetings held across the United
States and moderated by Abner Mason, key stake-holders were
brought together to develop strategies to implement newly released
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations on HIV testing.
The Test for Life campaign was sponsored by the National Minority
Quality Forum (www.NMQF.org).
The goal of the Test for Life campaign was to bring together
individuals, AIDS activist, AIDS organizations, companies, elected
officials, the medical community, church groups and others to educate
the public about the importance of HIV testing, and the need for testing
to become a part of routine medical care in the U.S.
