The purpose of the Summit was to take stock of progress, achievements, and lessons in HIV capacity building and share best practices and innovations. Among the key outcomes was the development of the summit communiqué with key resolutions, recommendations and formation of the four (4) post summit technical working groups (TWG) in order to take forward the summit resolutions; i.e.
§ TWG 1: Management and Coordination of HIV Capacity Building
§ TWG 2: Defining HIV Capacity building, measures, standards and indicators
§ TWG 3: Capacity building Tools, Processes and Approaches
§ TWG 4: Community Systems Strengthening
The summit steering committee has put together the following suggested guidelines to help move forward this process as per the summit resolutions.

3) A group email address for each TWG and a web-based discussion forum for each TWG to facilitate the flow of information among the TWG members and future correspondences shall (see Appendix 3 for details)
Kindly note that TWG members should be free to expand on this proposed suggestions drawing from their best practices to ensure smooth operation of their TWG.
We also request that each TWG selects two co-leaders that you feel shall help your TWG to champion the implementation of the mandate of your TWG.
We would appreciate to hear from you in two weeks (by 30th June will be ideal) in terms of the group co-leaders selected and progress you are making in your TWG.
It is important to note that the outcomes of your discussions will help inform the partner’s consultative meeting for the various TWGs (proposed for early 2012) in assessing the progress made in rolling out the summit resolutions and recommendations.
