Research

Alliance India has focused on generating fresh evidence through robust programme data for evidence-based strategic planning and programme implementation to support HIV response in the country and achieve the global targets of 95-95-95. In the recent past, a special emphasis has been given to develop organizational capacity to design and implement research studies that allow our programs to devise programmatic pathways based on evidence, contribute to the national and regional knowledge on new and emerging aspects in HIV response and develop a better understanding of the existing issues which affect key affected communities we work with.
