Regional Conference of Sector Network Health & Social Protection | Africa, MENA and LAC The story so far… WG active since March 2012  follow-up from WG “Multisectoral AIDS Response” 55 members from 18 countries + Germany (HQ), selected consultants Majority of members active in SRHR//HIV related programming WG set up: 2 co-speakers, 4 sub group leaders  topics: linking SRHR/HIV, BCC, GFATM, result chain for HIV programmes

Regional Conference of Sector Network Health & Social Protection | Africa, MENA and LAC Achievements of the WG Most results of work plan achieved, e.g. o Survey on linkages in programmes with SRH and HIV components o Short guidance (Arbeitshilfe) on how to link SRH and HIV o Project ideas for portfolio extension to link bi- and multilateral cooperation on GFATM Increased use of online media for exchange: presentations and discussions  Enabled increased and regular participation across countries, cost savings on separate WG meeting Cooperation with other Working Groups on SRHR/HIV, e.g. SN Asia and HQ  Joint activities and joint work plan

Regional Conference of Sector Network Health & Social Protection | Africa, MENA and LAC What’s hot at the moment… High personnel turnover impacting negatively on active membership, little participation in some of the sub-working groups Several potential topics for exchange especially on lessons learned in implementing certain tools, approaches, processes Strong focus on Linking SRHR/HIV, BCC and GFATM Size of the group and multiple topics does not necessarily allow for face-to-face meetings

Regional Conference of Sector Network Health & Social Protection | Africa, MENA and LAC What the future will bring… Review of WG setup, hot topics, utilization of WG results and workplan Election of new WG speakers Presentation and discussion on products on linking SRHR/HIV Joint WG session on Employee Wellbeing Programming and cost-benefit tools
