It has established a Technical Resource Center in Beijing which has tapped the knowledge of 100 international experts in the following areas: harm reduction; program management; VCT, ART & HIV clinical management; behavior change communication; blood safety; surveillance; strategic planning; and STI management. DFID is also promoting FHI's Expanded Comprehensive Response (ECR) concept, which the government of China has incorporated into 127 HIV/AIDS health care sites nation-wide.

DFID-supported FHI interventions in the Yunnan and Sichuan provinces target at-risk and vulnerable populations.
