Founded in 1999, Alliance India is a non-governmental organisation operating in partnership with civil society, government and communities to support sustained responses to HIV in India that protect rights and improve health. Complementing the Indian national programme, we build capacity, provide technical support and advocate to strengthen the delivery of effective, innovative, community-based HIV programmes to vulnerable populations: sex workers, men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender people, hijras, people who inject drugs (PWID), and people living with HIV.Alliance India’s programmes foster wellbeing, realise equality, and affirm the dignity of communities most affected by HIV/AIDS.Leveraging its implementation experience, it works closely with the Alliance Regional Technical Support Hub for South Asia to strengthen capacity of civil society organisations, government and the private sector in South Asia to respond more effectively to HIV/AIDS.An independent national NGO managed and governed wholly in India, Alliance India is also an accredited member of the global network of Linking Organisations of the International HIV/AIDS Alliance.
