| Sharing Knowledge for Better Results. The Africa Region’s HIV/AIDS Agenda for Action emphasizes generating knowledge and sharing lessons learned to improve national responses to HIV/AIDS. To this end, the AIDS Campaign Team for Africa (ACTafrica), recently sponsored several key knowledge sharing events. These events brought together leaders and others working on the front lines of their national HIV/AIDS programs to share their experiences, challenges, and lessons learned. While the events primarily sought to promote cross-fertilization among country programs, they also engaged experts and UNAIDS cosponsors to further enrich the exchanges.
