How is the US or third-party partner identified?
If the US government team does not specify a preference for a partner, the HIV/AIDS Twinning Center selects an appropriate partner through an open solicitation process that clearly outlines the parameters and expectations of the partnership. Applications are submitted online on the Twinning Center Web site and evaluated through a peer review process. The most qualified partner is presented to the US government team, the US Health Resources and Services Administration, and the Office of the US Global AIDS Coordinator for approval.
