Abstract
The review of the pilot activities produced three main recommendations for the continued period of the pilot projects and future initiatives that focus on improving nutrition and food security of people living with HIV. These included the need for effective indicators to track progress, the need for sharing information on these new activities between country programs, and the need for tailoring nutrition education to the specific needs of people living with HIV.
