Objectives: South-south collaborations in building human resource capacity have been inadequately emphasized globally despite the growing experience among resource-poor countries in scaling up HIV care and the funding to implement programmes. This paper aims to describe one such successful collaboration, in which a model of HIV care was developed in Haiti, adapted and expanded to Lesotho, and allowed the effective scale-up of HIV and other treatment services in a rural African setting.
