To address this gap, seventeen analytical pieces were undertaken including evaluations in Burkina Faso, India, Kenya, Lesotho, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa and Zimbabwe over a three -year period (early 2009 to early 2012) to build a robust pool of evidence on the effects of community based activities and programs. ... Evaluation findings indicate that investments in communities have produced significant results at the community level, which contribute to outcomes at the national level, all while leveraging limited resources."--Publisher's website Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes English Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed Mar. 25, 2013) Subject AIDS (Disease) -- Africa, Sub-Saharan -- Prevention AIDS (Disease) -- India -- Prevention HIV infections -- Africa, Sub-Saharan -- Prevention HIV infections -- India -- Prevention AIDS (Disease) -- Prevention -- Case studies HIV infections -- Prevention -- Case studies Community health services -- Case studies International cooperation.
