The document describes the integration of Uruguay’s HIV/AIDS response into its national health system by using a triangulation approach: Horizontal knowledge transfer from Brazil regarding integrated health care networks is combined with knowledge of local contexts and needs from Uruguay and experience in facilitating, and the monitoring and evaluation of international cooperation processes (GIZ, Germany). The paper demonstrates that the approach of triangulation represents a cost-effective, sustainable and an extremely flexible tool which can be easily adapted and transferred.

GIZ’s flyer describes the background, guiding principles, programs and implementing partners of the German-Brazilian cooperation in the fight against AIDS

Already in 2007 – in a multilateral process facilitated by GIZ, the Brazilian Ministry of Health, UNAIDS, UNESCO and UNFPA - six countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay) jointly agreed to implement the regional south-south cooperation project called “Harmonisation of Public Policies on Sexual Education and HIV/AIDS Prevention in Schools in the MERCOSUL”. The flyer briefly describes the aims of the joint initiative, the implementation process, and achievements.
