A short history of the Alliance

Since late 1993, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance has provided support to over 2,000 communities in over 3,000 projects across more than 40 developing countries.
Fifteen years on, we are running long-term programmes in more than thirty countries. We also have programmes in the Eastern Caribbean, as well as project activities in Zimbabwe, and are reaching additional countries through our regional programme activities.
All of these community and faith-based groups were already working in their communities before they received our support, and most have continued working well after our assistance ended. Our involvement has enabled 70 per cent of these groups to take part in the local response to HIV for the first time.
In our first 12 years, we channelled US$100 million to organisations across the world. The Alliance’s audited expenditure for 2004 was $35.7 million, $45.6 million in 2005, and $58.5 million in 2006.
