| Description: | The International HIV/AIDS Alliance (the Alliance) is the Secretariat for a global partnership of nationally-based Linking Organisations and Country Offices working to support community action primarily on HIV/AIDS in over 40 developing countries, of which 15 are listed among the 22 high burden TB countries worldwide. The Alliance has carried out TB work mostly as part of HIV/AIDS care and support packages. Since 2008, the Alliance has been working to develop and strengthen the capacity of the Alliance and its partners on TB and TB/HIV co-infection by conducting a cross organisational research assessment, implementing a strategy for TB/HIV integration and establishing programmatic standards for good TB/HIV integration, collaboration and partnerships.
Furthermore, the Alliance has established seven Regional Technical Support (TS) Hubs to provide a model of South-to-South technical assistance (TA) that that strengthens local responses to HIV/AIDS and related issues. The Alliance Secretariat provides quality assurance, coordination and support to the work of the regional TS Hubs, as well as liaison among linking organisations, country and regional offices and global partners. The TS Hubs draw on Alliance know-how and best practice programming standards to provide training, technical support and information to Alliance linking organisations, as well as other NGOs and CBOs in their regions. TA is provided in English, French, Russian and Spanish, among other languages. The TS Hubs are hosted by the following Alliance partners:
• Alliance Ukraine (serving Eastern Europe and Central Asia)
• Alliance Uganda (serving East, Central and Southern Africa)
• IPC, Burkina Faso (serving West and North Africa)
• Alliance India (serving South Asia)
• KHANA, Cambodia (serving South East Asia and the Pacific)
