  <body>&lt;p&gt;&lt;P&gt;When looking at the UN &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.cordaidpartners.com/rooms/home-based-care/documents/401-un-secretary-general-report-2009&quot;&gt;Report on Progress made in the implementation of the Declaration of Comitment on HIV/AIDS and the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;, we were shocked by how little attention was given to care and support issues. This is why the Caregivers Action Caucus decided to flag this serious oversight. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please check our &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.cordaidpartners.com/documents/424-open-letter-to-the-un-secretary-general&quot;&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Open Letter that&amp;nbsp;to the Secretary General&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;PS: This is a follow up to the advocacy done during the Commission on the Status of Women. Please also check the advocacy tool that was produced to assist organisations to start a communication caregivers by addressing the latest international document on caregiving, the &quot;Agreed Conclusions&quot; (enclosed in our advocacy tool). &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Look out for further developments and participation options on the &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.cordaidpartners.com/rooms/home-based-care&quot;&gt;HBC Room&lt;/A&gt;...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
