Aids Alliance

General Info

Our mission is to support communities to reduce the spread of HIV and meet the challenges of AIDS.

Established in 1993, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance (the Alliance) is a global partnership of nationally-based organisations working to support community action on AIDS in developing countries.

These national partners help local community groups and other non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to take action on AIDS, and are supported by technical expertise, policy work and fundraising carried out across the Alliance.

In addition, the Alliance has extensive regional programmes, representative offices in the USA and Brussels, and works on a range of international activities such as support for South?South cooperation, operations research, training and good practice development, as well as policy analysis and advocacy.

Our mission is to support communities to reduce the spread of HIV and meet the challenges of AIDS. To date we have provided support to organisations from more than 40 developing countries for over 3,000 projects, reaching some of the poorest and most vulnerable communities with HIV prevention, care and support, and improved access to treatment.

The Alliance employs 120 staff in its secretariat in Brighton, UK. Members of staff are drawn from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America. They are experienced in non-governmental organisations, the private sector, donor agencies, academia, the United Nations system and medical practice. The secretariat is organised in the following way:

The Alliance employs another 200 staff in country offices in the Caribbean, China, India, Madagascar, Mozambique, Myanmar, South Sudan, Uganda, Ukraine, and Zambia.
