From 1989-1992 the HIV/AIDS Prevention in Africa (HAPA) project provided grantsto conduct nine HIV prevention projects in sub-Saharan Africa. This report evaluates the effectiveness of those activities. The grants provided seed money to help the recipients establish technical expertise in HIV/AIDS prevention. Recipients focused their interventions on education and motivation for behavioral change. The report, drawn from extensive interviews, is presented as a 'lessons learned' narrative, covering the topics of (1) project planning, management and implementation, intervention design, and project sustainability; (2) PVO headquarters operations; and (3) the HAPA technical advisory group. Conclusions and recommendations are included in a final section.
