A joint HIV Leadership through Accountability Planning and Review Meeting was held in Cape Town on 25 - 28 January 2010. The meeting brought together representatives from 6 national networks of PLHIV (Cameroon, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia) as well as GNP+ and WAC.  All participants shared their organisational aims and goals and their existing programmes and work.

The meeting provided a space to review the progress made by first year programme countries (Kenya, Nigeria and Zambia) and share the lessons learned with the second year programme countries (Cameroon, Ethiopia and South Africa). The second year countries familiarised themselves further with the HIV Leadership through Accountability programme and began detailed planning for their respective countries.

In addition second year countries reported preliminary results from the evidence-gathering tools in each of the respective countries and initial planning for campaigning, advocacy and lobbying workshops, which would produce 6 month action plans, was done. Finally reporting and resource mobilisation issues were addressed during the course of the meeting.
