The five programs were from Thailand (for providing access to care, treatment and support); Ukraine (for addressing stigma and discrimination related to HIV/AIDS); Zimbabwe (for addressing gender inequalities that fuel the epidemic); Bangladesh (for promoting prevention) and Zambia (for supporting AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children).
