The case examines Avahan{\textquoteright}s choice of intervention strategies in the face of the HIV epidemic of India in 2002. It describes Avahan{\textquoteright}s structure, operations, and execution style, as well as how Avahan{\textquoteright}s management system for its seven "state lead partners" and 137 district-level nongovernmental organizations was applied initially to scale and later to sustain the delivery model.
