Stigma and Discrimination presents a huge barrier Inclusive programing Key populations still on the margins Stigma and Discrimination presents a huge barrier Evidence on how it is being dealt with: Humanizing the interventions We are women with voices, not an HIV diagnosis! Sharing experiences on processes of individual and collective empowerment driven by women’s lives, bodies and creativity. A participatory workshop to demonstrate empowerment methodologies used in the implementation countries, and which are based on a gender and human rights approach HP+ provided evidence on the work implemented in Tanzania in dealing with stigma faced by adolescents and youth

Differentiated Models of prevention and care needed Populations different, and face different barriers But don’t forget the basics: condom

Meaningful Youth Participation Peer to peer approach: Illustrated in EGPAF work, HP+, DREAMS Equal partnership in all stages of project management In Tanzania Youth Training Health Care Workers

Weak link between implemented activities results presented Challenges Weak link between implemented activities results presented Lack of aggressive monitoring and evaluation Program description or marketing No new evidence Expecting strategies from participants Challenge because some sessions would have very few people, sometimes 5 ,

Weak interdisciplinary conversations on topics “ “Incomplete” panels: DREAMS identifies sexual violence as challenge for girls, but no representation from Human Rights, Child protection, law enforcement Researchers sitting one session without policy makers, Case of “Theory in practice: Combining new methods and data for HIV prevention” messages not clear for policy makers No or little conversations on cost effectiveness of interventions Massive projects Vs Grassroots Interventions

Challenges Cancellation of sessions Late start of sessions Lead presenters late, 20 minutes late

Recommendations In planning for next conference and convening like these, screen to identify presenters who link activities to evidence generated Try more to bring different disciplines discuss same topic Recommend to organizations to add cost effective analysis in their monitoring and evaluation of interventions
