About us

We’ve been on the frontline of the world’s response to HIV and AIDS for 25 years, working with marginalised people who are denied HIV prevention and treatment simply because of who they are and where they live. Set up in 1993 to work with community groups in the countries most affected by the global AIDS epidemic, we’ve continually adapted our approach, looking for innovative ways to break down the barriers that marginalise people living with, or at risk of acquiring, HIV. All with one goal in mind – a future free from AIDS for everyone, everywhere.

Today, we are a multi-directional partnership that operates at global, national and local levels, working together as Frontline AIDS to deliver the actions in our Global Plan of Action 2020-2025.  Our partners drive change where it matters, shaking up the status quo and making a noise on issues the world often chooses to ignore.

• A proven track record of successfully securing and managing large and complex grants from government donors
