Help of grassroots, NGOs sought (3)

"I hope the government can offer more support by lessening the red tape in registration procedures and training groups to become more competent in coping with the issue."

Gabriel Jaramillo, general manager of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, also noted the important role NGOs have in fighting the disease.

"It is only with a very strong intervention from civil society that we can defeat the disease," he said.

In 2011, the fund froze grants to China's programs, saying the authorities had not channeled enough money to NGOs.

Jaramillo described China's experience in controlling HIV as "an example to the world".

"We hope to benefit from what China is doing so that we can export it and take it to other countries," he said. "And I hope we have a huge contribution from China in less privileged nations."
