and we'd like to make sure you get to hear all about it!

This year ICASA is partnering with IPS Africa to bring you an online TerraViva conference newspaper enabling you see what is happening both at the Conference and on the ground in the fight to achieve our goal of Zero HIV.

Throughout the Conference we will send a link to the latest TerraViva to your inbox, and it will include reporting from different parts of Africa on the challenges of getting to Zero, as well as "Voices from the Field" - a selection of Op Eds, Blogs and Vox Pops from people on the front line.  We'll also have reporters on the ground at ICASA 2013 bringing you the important outcomes from the Conference.

Of course we'll also be covering the event on Social Media, and you are welcome to join in the conversation using #ICASA2013 or #AIDSFree.  You can follow us @NoNewHIV or find us on Facebook here.

For those of you attending ICASA 2013, we look forward to seeing you there.  If you can't make it this year, then we hope you get to experience it through the TerraViva.

Best wishes

ICASA & IPS Africa Communications Team

Driven, young, restless and focused begins to describe Kawere Fahad 21 years.  Rest In Peace! Wakiso District, in the Central Region of Uganda is very important to Uganda as DC is to USA or Buckingham is to UK. This area has the biggest number of schools per land size, the oldest Basilica in Africa, real estate hub and is the dormitory District for many urbanites in Uganda.  It is in this area that one finds such suburbs like Kayunga and Nansana. These suburbs never go to sleep!   One would expect that this metropolitan profile puts it at a place where murder cases are investigated and deterred by police and communities.
