In its work supporting NGOs in developing countries, Together Against AIDS/AIDS-ACTION has witnessed the mobilization of community-based organizations around providing care, support and access to treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS. Yet, their contribution to the struggle against the pandemic remains virtually unknown. Together Against AIDS conducted a mapping survey throughout Africa from January to April 2004 that underscores what community groups - specifically PLWHAs groups - are doing in the realm of access to treatment, with respect to the World Health Organization's stated goal of placing 3 million people on ARV therapy between now and 2005.
