New Alliance websites to provide better access to community HIV resources

News from the International HIV/AIDS Alliance

22 May 2007 – for immediate release

The International HIV/AIDS Alliance has launched new websites in French, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian that will allow more people to access the wide range of Alliance publications and resources that support community action on AIDS in developing countries.

Visitors will now be able to search for, download, and order Alliance publications in their own language. The new sites will also provide basic information about the Alliance and its programmes.

New features have also been added to the Alliance’s global English-language website:

  • Visitors can now review and rate Alliance publications and resources – an addition that will enable future visitors to see how the resources are being used and what people think of them.
  • An improved homepage will allow quicker access to new information being added across the Alliance site.

The websites can be accessed from links in the top right hand corner of www.aidsalliance.org

Editor’s notes

  1. Established in 1993, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance (the Alliance) is a global partnership of nationally-based organisations working to support community action on AIDS in developing countries. These national partners help local community groups and other non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to take action on AIDS, and are supported by technical expertise, policy work and fundraising carried out at the UK-based international secretariat and across the Alliance.
  2. The Alliance has worked with community organisations from over 40 countries, provided financial support to over 3,000 projects (implemented by over 2,000 community and faith-based groups). Expenditure in 2005 alone was over US $45 million (£25 million).
