This tool kit aims to provide a collection of tools for use in applying democracy and governance approaches to HIV/AIDS work. It is a compilation of the diverse expertise and experiences from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Pact, and other development organisations. It was produced to assist efforts to scale up responses to the pandemic and increase access to prevention and care services through collaboration at individual, community, and national levels. This tool kit is designed for use by donor organisations, civil society, government, and the private sector. According to the publisher, ultimately the aim is to develop a dynamic website so that users can add new tools to create an ever-expanding and up-to-date learning tool.

The tool kit is organised around key democracy and governance concepts that have direct application to specific needs in HIV/AIDS programming.

The tool kit is divided into the following sections:
• Democratic principles and practices
• Rule of law
• Increasing citizens participation
• Increasing capacity
• Enhanced flow of information

Specific tools for relating these focus areas with HIV/AIDS work are included at the end of each section.
