Action Plus
Action Plus, comprising of 14 NGOs that work on HIV/AIDS issues, was
born in 1997 as a coalition (then called Networks), out of the
vision of grantee organisations of the Ford Foundation working on
HIV/AIDS, exploring common pathways for social action through
exchange and mutual learning to effectively mount a joint response
to the growing HIV pandemic. The coalition aims to confront the
evolving and complex challenges by developing strategic leadership
and promoting linkages between organizations that work on common
interests. Action Plus fosters an environment in which its member
organisations share with each other their experiences and learn
together to operate more strategically to address issues of HIV and
AIDS.
