ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Two parallel processes contributed to the formation of the International HIV/AIDS Alliance (the Alliance) in 1993 – one under the auspices of the World Health Organisation and its “NGO Support Programme” and the other being the coming together in 1991 of a group of donors under the auspices of the Rockerfeller Foundation in an attempt to define a mechanism that would channel funds to community groups in the South. It was a difficult period of the HIV epidemic – communities were struggling to cope with the effects of HIV, science was unable to advance its efforts to find a vaccine and progress into different forms HIV treatment was moving slowly. The two processes came together almost fortuitously, as key individuals were involved one way or another in both processes, and the work that had been done complemented and justified the need to combine energies, resources and creativity into making this mechanism work. The oral history brings to life some of the discussions and events that took place during the development of the Alliance. It provides insights into what key individuals were thinking, or how they acted during important, and at times frustrating, discussions. Because so little is captured about the conception phase (1991 – 1993), the oral history focusses on capturing the reflections and memories of those who were involved during this period, to ensure that history accurately reflects what happened – or at least offers real and lived perspectives. The case study reviews the start-up phase (1994 – 1996) and provides insights and perspectives into key decisions and the all-important external evaluation, which was a turning point for the organisation. The external evaluation led to and informed the scale-up period (1997 – 2000) and the oral history reflects on a number of key themes that shaped the organisations work and laid the foundation for its next ten years. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Twee parallelle prosesse het bygedra tot die vorming van die Internasionale HIV/AIDS Alliance (The Alliance ) in 1993 - een onder die vaandel van die Wêreld Gesondheid Organisasie en die " NGO Support Program " en die ander is die bymekaar kom van 'n groep skenkers onder die coordinatie van die Rockerfeller Foundation in 1991. Hulle het saamgekom in 'n poging om 'n meganisme te definieer wat fondse sal kanaliseer naar gemeenskap groepe in die Suid. Dit was 'n moeilike tyd die MIV-epidemie - gemeenskappe sukkel met die gevolge van MIV , wetenskap was nie in staat om hulle pogings om 'n entstof teen MIV en vooruitgang in behandeling het stadig gevorder. Die mondelinge geskiedenis bring aan die lewe 'n paar van die besprekings en gebeure wat plaasgevind het tydens die ontwikkeling van die Alliance. Dit bied insig in wat individue dink , of hoe hulle opgetree het tydens belangrik , en by tye frustrerend, besprekings. Omdat daar so min gevang oor die konsepsie (1991 - 1993), fokus die mondelinge geskiedenis op die vaslegging van die refleksies en herinneringe van diegene wat gedurende hierdie tydperk betrokke was. Die gevallestudie gee ‘n oorsig van die begin fase (1994 - 1997) en bied insigte en perspektiewe in belangrike besluite en die eksterne evaluering , wat 'n keerpunt vir die organisasie was. Die eksterne evaluering het gelei tot die “scale up” tydperk (1997 - 2000) en die mondelinge geskiedenis weerspieël op 'n aantal van die belangrikste temas wat die grondslag gelê vir sy volgende tien jaar.
