The National HIV/AIDS Secretariat has made substantial progress since it became effective five years ago. Many activities have been implemented under the Sierra Leone HIV/AIDS response project (SHARP), through the combined effort of all four-project components. NAS component heads have used a mix of communication channels to disseminate information about activity progress and outputs. The predominant communication channels utilized thus far are through the use of print materials (reports), the electronic media (radio and television) and through workshops and seminars.
