1. Facilitating learning and sharing knowledge, lessons and experience among members at community, national and international levels - During the Annual General Assembly (AGM), all members and development partners as well as other stakeholders were brought together. The AGM provides opportunities for information sharing, whereby member organizations present different learning materials for sharing.
- Learning sessions were held, whereby member organizations presented different approaches used for mainstreaming HIV and AIDS, Gender, budget tracking etc. This included the dissemination of research results.

a. TAF mobilises consultative meetings, these meetings include:
- The review processes of National Strategic Framework (NMSF) 2008-2012, inputs were shared among members and a technical paper was developed and presented and submitted to TACAIDS. TAF also participated in the launching of the second NMSF 2008 - 2012 in Dodoma.
- TAF coordinated the input from over seventy CSOs into the AIDS Bill, which has now been passed into a law. For that reason TAF held a meeting and developed a technical paper. The technical submission paper was shared, dis-cussed and agreed. This document was then presented to the parliamentary HIV and AIDS committee during the public hearing and it was used as a re-source by other actors including TACAIDS, Parliamentary Hearing and Foundation For Civil Society to mention a few.
- Technical input on condom programming, during the assessment and presentation of condom monitoring and evaluation reports. The research was done by TACAIDS in Dar es Salaam.
- On the platform of the Commonwealth people's forum, TAF represented the CSOs, where a number of concurrent sessions were held including health, human rights, HIV, and leadership for transformation. The theme was "Realizing Peoples Potential". The forum addressed the need for CSOs to network and advocate with one voice. This forum was an advocacy effort and was initiated to ensure the voices of CSOs were heard.
- TAF joins advocacy campaigns with international communities by holding a candle light memorial day, which was held at the TGNP grounds, served as a significant event that puts the advocacy for equal opportunities among PLHIV living in rural Tanzania into the scene. That effort hoped to bring free treatment to opportunistic diseases among PLHIV.
