Ethical Code

AIDS Action Europe attaches great importance to partnerships with other organizations and with the private sector. These partnerships should sufficiently guarantee the independent position and the integrity of AIDS Action Europe. Therefore AIDS Action Europe has developed an ethical code that provides guidelines for partnerships. In addition, AIDS Action Europe endorses the code of good practice for NGOs responding to HIV/AIDS.
