Background
Campaign Update Groups in Indonesia have come together as part of GCAP to call for debt cancellation, shelter for all, education for all and real action to combat poverty.
The support of the MDGs network and the UN ambassador for MDGs in Asia-Pacific has been instrumental in getting the campaign going quickly, as has good working relations between all the varied groups. This was followed by the HIV/AIDSs jamboree in Bogoron on 14th-17th February.
