The KITSO AIDS Training Program provides quality, multi-disciplinary, sustainable and standardized training in HIV and AIDS care, crafted specifically for Botswana’s health professionals. KITSO is a collaboration of the Botswana Ministry of Health and the Botswana-HAI Partnership for HIV Research and Education, made possible through support from the African Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Partnerships.

The name of this program was designed to incorporate the culture of Botswana and to capture the groundbreaking nature of this collaborative educational effort. While English is the official language of Botswana, the language of Setswana is an important element of the country’s proud heritage. In the title of the program, "kitso" is the Setswana word for "knowledge." KITSO AIDS also stands for "Knowledge, Innovation, and Training Shall Overcome AIDS."
