Partnership is at the core of Frontline AIDS. Our partnership benefits from learning from each other through sharing knowledge and expertise, co-creating innovations, and implementing ideas together. With more than 30 years’ experience, we bring together over 50 partners working across 100 countries.
Communities are already at the forefront of the HIV response, developing solutions rooted in lived experience that can be scaled and adapted to withstand future shocks.
They have long driven progress through activism, innovation and care, and their leadership remains essential to what comes next.
Frontline AIDS is a platform for civil society organisations to lead, learn and act together. We champion community-led approaches for the most marginalised people and reshape the HIV response in ways that are locally driven, scalable and future-focused.
Our partners are deeply rooted in the communities most affected by HIV, including people routinely excluded from health services and decision-making. Frontline AIDS’ distinctive role is to bring community knowledge into the spaces where decisions are made – locally, nationally and globally – ensuring that lived experience shapes the policies, financing and practice that improve people’s lives.
The Partnership Council has shifted power to our partners.
Since its formation in 2022, this elected advisory body has represented partners’ interests and perspectives at a strategic level, promoting shared leadership and challenging colonial practices within our partnership and the wider development sector.
The Council serves as the critical link between Frontline AIDS and its membership, amplifying voices across regions and strengthening the next generation of HIV
leadership through dedicated youth representation.

We have been working together for more than 25 years and the partnership is very important to us.
We are a strong network of organisations from around the world, with the same dream to end AIDS by 2030. We have different areas of expertise. It means that if I don’t have experience of a specific aspect of good practice there might be someone else, in Ecuador or Ukraine for example, who does.
Through partnership we can support each other and we can share our experience and processes with stakeholders, including governments.

Our relationship started in 2004 and we have learnt a lot since then. What’s different about Frontline AIDS compared with other organisations is they really support their partners to grow.
As well as teaching their partners, they open up opportunities for them. They also listen to the challenges their partners face and they try to find the solutions, or the opportunities that will lead to solutions.

It’s important to be a part of the partnership to show the reality and improve the conditions in which sex workers work, as currently sex work is a risk.
The support from Frontline AIDS to show this reality is welcome. Financial and political support is important and having a partnership organisation behind you gives you legitimacy.

Frontline AIDS has fostered and established channels and room for engagement, capacity building and mentorship especially for a youth-led organisation.
Y+ Global is optimistic to learn more from the partnership, especially on collaborations, connecting and strengthening our presence with other colleagues in West Africa, Asia and LAC.

I appreciate the fact that the coordinating body tries to take into account the specificities of regions and organisations in presenting its global agenda and the activities to be encouraged.
Knowing that many organisations work in different spaces to resolve a problem, and knowing that one can share experiences and lessons learned, energises teams.
