CBO/NGO support – The role and added value of NGO-based CBO/NGO support providers in the response to HIV and AIDS in southern and eastern Africa

This report highlights the role and added value of NGOs in providing support to CBOs and other NGOs in responding to HIV and AIDS. It is part of a strategic partnership between the Southern African AIDS Trust (SAT) and the Alliance and is set against the backdrop of enormous changes in the context in which NGO-based CBO/NGO support providers are operating.

It draws from many different sources of information about NGO-based CBO/NGO support work, but is particularly based on material gathered at a regional workshop co-hosted by SAT and the Alliance which explored and documented the experiences and lessons of representatives from a wide range of NGO-based CBO/NGO support providers from southern and eastern Africa.

In the report, they are challenged to consider whether they should now do things differently, do more of what they are already doing, or re-position themselves, and to decide what types of relationships they might build with the new players.

Intended audience NGO support programmes, Training organisations, Individual trainer, International NGOs, NGOs/CBOs, Donors, International policymakers.
