UNAIDS and its partners recently launched the 'Coordinating AIDS Technical Support Database',to enhance the HIV/AIDS technical support provided to countries worldwide. The database has the latest information on technical support, giving providers and users the opportunity to determine what type of advice has been offered to specific countries, by whom and with what results. The database aims to ease access to timely and accurate technical support; promote the coordination of technical support between providers and users; and improve collaboration and the exchange of information on technical support at the country, regional and global levels.
