Acknowledgements
This publication is primarily based on a background paper written by Jocelyn DeJong of the Institute for Development Policy and Management at the University of Manchester, UK. The paper was commissioned by the Horizons Programme and the International HIV/AIDS Alliance to inform discussions at an international seminar on scaling up NGO HIV/AIDS programmes held in Windsor, UK, in September, 2000. We are grateful to the participants at that seminar for providing inspiring examples of scaling up NGO activities in HIV/AIDS and for their insightful comments at the seminar.

Other contributions to A Question of Scale came from a literature review produced by Thom Eisele, Tulane University, and a set of NGO case studies on scaling up submitted by a dozen NGOs and discussed at the above seminar. We are grateful to Lilani Kumaranayake from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine who contributed a section and other suggestions on costing aspects of scaling up.

This activity was supported by the Horizons Programme. Horizons is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, under the terms of HRN-A-00-97-00012- 00. The opinions expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the view of the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Horizons and the International HIV/AIDS Alliance would like to thank Paurvi Bhatt (formerly of USAID and now currently with Abbott’s “Step Forward” Programme) and Margarita Quevedo of KIMIRINA in Ecuador for reviewing earlier drafts of this publication.

Jeff O’Malley, Sue Lucas and Helen Parry at the International HIV/AIDS Alliance all contributed substantial comments for the final publication and supported the organisation of the seminar. Christopher Castle, seconded to the Horizons Programme from the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, also provided guidance and contributed comments on all drafts of this publication. He was responsible for the overall technical and managerial support for this project.

We are grateful to Elaine Mercer in Manchester who carefully edited several drafts of the publication. We would also like to thank Emily Knox and Eva Roca at the Horizons Programme, and Elaine Ireland, James Togut and Garry Robson at the International HIV/AIDS Alliance for their logistical support for the seminar and for assistance in production of this publication.
