This year’s theme for the annual HIV/AIDS Implementers Meeting is “Optimising the Response: Partnerships for Sustainability.” The meeting gathers together programme implementers to share best practices and lessons learned in the fight against global HIV/AIDS. This year’s meeting will focus on widely disseminating best practices and lessons learned during the implementation of multi-sectoral HIV/AIDS programme with a emphasis on optimising the impact of prevention, care, and treatment programmes; enhancing programme quality; promoting coordination among partners; and encouraging innovative responses. Through presentations, dialogue, and networking, participants will share information that will directly impact the future of HIV/AIDS programme implementation.
