The International HIV/AIDS Alliance was established in 1993 to support communities in developing countries to play a full and effective role in the global response to AIDS. The Alliance is a technical leader in building the capacity of national-level NGO/CBO support organizations that provide grants, technical and organizational support to an array of community level partners to scale up HIV related prevention, care, support, treatment, advocacy and policy programming. Through its model of working with national-level Linking Organizations and Country Offices the Alliance has pioneered work with most-at-risk populations, including people living with HIV, in many countries across the globe and has a wide range of participatory tools and resources to help build the capacity of civil society organisations and key stakeholders.

A Regional Technical Support Hub for Eastern, Central and Southern Africa was set up in Kampala to scale up regionally based technical support provision to the region, to increase South to South learning, and use appropriate evidence based programme approaches to reduce the impact of HIV and AIDS. The TS Hub is staffed with thematic advisors and draws on key experts both to deliver quality technical support to civil society organizations and other key stakeholders in the region.
