In this discussion, you are going to examine a case study of the International HIV/AIDs Alliance (which changed its name to Frontline AIDS in 2019).  Frontline AIDS supports governments and communities to create a positive and supportive environment for people living with HIV and to prevent HIV globally.  They describe themselves as a global partnership working with many agencies on the ground to support their vision.  To learn more about this organisation have a look here https://frontlineaids.org/who-we-are/.

This case study explores the many strategic drivers that the organisation faced in 2012.

Step 2 – Read the strategic directions that the organisation has taken as a result of these strategic drivers.  There are four directional strategies that are articulated as ‘results’ and ‘responses’. Please refer to page 5 in the following article:
