Horizons was a team of US-based and international organizations working to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and mitigate its impact on individuals and communities. Directed by the Population Council and funded by the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the program designed, implemented, and evaluated innovative service-delivery strategies.
Horizons implemented field-based, applied operations research in developing countries. The program identified effective HIV/AIDS interventions and policies; tested prevention, care, support, and service-delivery strategies; and disseminated and promoted utilization of findings. A major goal was to identify and develop successful projects that could be replicated and scaled up, where relevant. Horizons also focused on capacity building by providing support and training to colleagues in developing nations. The program helped local organizations conduct operations research and develop mechanisms to disseminate and utilize best practices that emerge from operations research.
