HIV and AIDS - Support to the International Partnership against AIDS in Africa (SIPAA)
Communicating SIPAA
Healthlink Worldwide collaborated with the SIPAA regional office to ensure that the programme was communicated effectively to all stakeholders.
Although this work was not designed to encompass the entire SIPAA programme, it played an important role in communicating about SIPAA.
All the activities that Healthlink has engaged with were designed to:
- Strengthen participatory communication capacity among SIPAA stakeholders
- Strengthen the capacity of stakeholders to document good practice and learning
- Support both documentation and communication of good practice
- Communicate learning generated through the SIPAA programme to the National AIDS Councils (NACs), to partners and associated organisations and other SIPAA stakeholders
- Build ‘institutional memory’ of good practice in the response to HIV and AIDS
Outputs included:
1. The Learning publication
The
lessons learned from the SIPAA programme are clearly presented, and designed
to inform other similar regional efforts and raise awareness of the
processes involved.
It includes lessons learned from the whole process: from the design of the programme, through to its management, implementation, roles of various institutions involved and their relationships to each other. It will also examine issues such as the mobilisation of resources, building of local capacity and engaging with advocacy activities. See the section 'Lessons learned' for more information.
