This was the shared vision of the 14 members of the Academic Alliance in Africa when they launched the Training and Capacity Development Programme in 2002. They aimed to enhance and maintain the competence of healthcare workers to enable them to provide top-quality prevention and management of HIV and other infectious diseases in Africa.
