One hundred people are going to take part in the course, which is particularly addressed to English-speaking Africa, a part of the continent where the presence of DREAM has consistently grown in the past year, through the empowerment of the centres of Tanzania, the opening of the Malawian and Kenyan centres, the agreements for a forthcoming start of the treatment in Nigeria. The people who will attend the course are coming from Malawi, Tanzania, Nigeria, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Eritrea, and, for the first time, from India.

Besides the formation course for the various professionals involved in the DREAM centres (physicians, biologists, nurses, lab technicians, pharmacists, and coordinators), a formation course will be held for a delegation of women of the association of DREAM activists of Malawi, whose role is crucial to obtain an effective compliance to antiretroviral therapy by the patients of the Programme, through their activity of visits and health education, mainly in the rural areas of the country.
