In 2001, there were more than 120 million viewers of all international versions of Sesame Street, and by the U.S. By 2006, there were 20 co-productions in countries all over the world. For example, the first HIV-positive Muppet, Kami, from the South African co-production Takalani Sesame, was created in 2003 to address the epidemic of AIDS in South Africa, and was met with controversy in the U.S. They included both dubbed versions of the American show and versions created, developed, and produced in each country that reflected their needs, educational priorities, and culture. Different co-productions were produced, depending upon each country's needs and resources. The shows came to be called co-productions, and they contained original sets, characters, and curriculum goals. The model consisted of the combination of producers and researchers working together on the show, the development of a unique curriculum, and extensive test screening of the shows. The producers of these shows developed them using a variant on the CTW model, a flexible model of production based upon the experiences of the creators and producers of the U.S.
Creator Joan Ganz Cooney hired former CBS executive Michael Dann to field offers to produce versions of the show in other countries. Shortly after the debut of Sesame Street in the United States in 1969 in television, television producers, teachers, and officials of several countries approached the show's producers and the executives of the Children's Television Workshop (CTW), renamed Sesame Workshop (SW) in 2000, about the possibility of airing international versions of Sesame Street.
