Best Practices are a collection of real documented projects and past undertakings that can help learn some important lessons and streamline future actions. They ensure a continuous process of learning, feedback, reflection and analysis of what works (or does not work) and why. Best Practice is shared through exchange forums, networks, Best Practice Collection publications, and technical assistance.

One of the main tasks of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) and its cosponsors and partners is to recognize practices in response to the epidemic around the world that yielded good results, as well as examine how and why they worked. UNAIDS and its Cosponsors promote the identification, documentation, and dissemination of these practices, so that they can eventually be adapted and applied in HIV/AIDS-related work in other parts of the world.
