1. Introduction Since its inception in 1987, WHO'S Global Programme on AIDS (GPA) has gathered epidemiological data from around the world in order to learn more about the extent of HIV infection and AIDS and the routes and determinants of HIV transmission. It has also supported governments worldwide in establishing national AIDS prevention and care programmes to work with nongovernmental and international organizations on curtailing the spread of HIV and providing care for AIDS patients and their familics. However, HIV spread has not been halted and AIDS programmes are struggling to meet the challenges of the pandemic. mere is an urgent need for further guidance on effective prevention strategies. Organizations and groups throughout the world have developed innovative projects - often despite considerable political, social and cultural restraints - which they hope are fighting HIV Warnmission and helping to prevent AIDS. Through its Office of Intervention Development and Supprt, GPA is evaluating these interventions to determine which approaches work best, how and why they work, what they cost and whether their effects will be lasting. It aims to use this information to formulate guiding principles for effective prevention programmes. As yet, few of the approaches that seem to work have bcen rigorously evaluated and, where they have, their particular contribution to success has been extremely difficult to gauge in view of the many different factors involved. Furthermore, sophisticated research that can provide smng evidence for the success of an intervention is prohibitively expensive in many situations and, because it is unethical to provide life-saving information to one group while deliberately withholding it from another control group, it is not possible to test directly the causal link between interventions and their impact.
