AIDS is now the leading killer in sub-Saharan Africa—a region where the infection levels are the highest, access to care is the lowest, and social and economic safety nets, which might help families cope with the epidemic’s impact, are badly frayed. African leaders are demonstrating unprecedented leadership in the fight against HIV/AIDS with the creation of the International Partnership against AIDS in Africa (IPAA)—an organization that believes that within the next 10 years, African nations, with the support of the international community, will be implementing larger-scale, sustained, and more effective multisectoral national responses to HIV/AIDS. This booklet attempts to capture details of a range of Best Practices in order to provide useful lessons and offer references for all actors of the IPAA.
