TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR MULTIMEDIA CONSULTANT-WRITER
Background
The International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC) is a global coalition of PLHIV
and community activists working to achieve universal access to optimal HIV, HCV and TB
treatment of those in need. Formed in 2003 by a group of 125 HIV activists from 65
countries at a meeting in Cape Town, ITPC actively advocates for treatment access in eight
regions across the globe. ITPC believes that the fight for treatment remains one of the
most significant global social justice issues.
The Solidarity Project aims to improve public health outcomes (incidence,
prevalence, and reductions in morbidity and mortality) by improving affordability of
key patented health products for HIV, tuberculosis, viral hepatitis, cervical cancer, and
any public health emergencies in 24 LMICs. The Solidarity Project, which complements
other access strategies such as voluntary licenses, aims to address IP barriers in 24
LMICs, by working within the framework of national laws and international agreements
such as the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of
Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) to facilitate price reductions through market entry
of key generic and biosimilar products (GBPs).
