Why this "legacy gap" in our current efforts? Very often the experience of completed<br />

projects, whether assessed as success or disaster, recedes into unrecorded history unless<br />

substantial time is spent reflecting on what was learned, synthesizing important aspects of the<br />

experience into a usable form, and disseminating information about the experience ..<br />

Presently, a global history of HIV/AIDS prevention is accumulating; documentation of the<br />

unique lessons and legacies of today's activities will provide an important foundation for<br />

future AIDS programs. It is our hope that this brief report of the <strong>HAPA</strong> experience will be<br />

a useful summary of the experiences of one grants program.<br />

Any document that attempts to summarize the results of a major undertaking necessarily<br />

includes only selected aspects of what took place. We hope that our attempt to abstract<br />

lessons from all the <strong>HAPA</strong> grants does not minimize the unique and rich experience of the<br />

individual field projects. Each was indeed worthy of a full report itself.<br />
