7. Key gaps on program targets • Result framework for HIV prevention to be developed in a number of countries • Some countries do not have targets for all relevant prevention pillars areas, or targets not yet aligned with the political declaration 2016 • Targets for key population interventions missing in many countries • Most of 14 countries have VMMC • targets, however largely driven by • donors, not fully locally owned

8. Key policy and program challenges • Legal environment and stigma and discrimination, including in health care settings number one challenge for service provision to and access by key populations • Lack of Standard Operational Procedures or Minimum Standards • Age of consent preventing adolescent access to reproductive health and HIV services, contraception, condom and HIV testing • Fragmented and un-coordinated AGYW programmes • Condoms not allowed to be provided in prisons and in schools • Logistic management and distribution of condom a challenge • Lack of accountability of programme implementation and spending

9. Some overarching priorities • Sensitize Policy maker and law enforcement for better support of the an-enabling environment • Improve coordination and leadership on prevention • Increase domestic investment

10. Examples of key policy actions needed • Legal and policy review and repeal un-enabling law and policies for key populations (Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania, Lesotho, Pakistan, DRC and Swaziland) • Decriminalization of key populations (Ukraine, Cote d’Ivoire) • Develop protective laws, regulation and policies for key populations (Mozambique) • Revisit the age of consent and remove legal barrier for adolescent accessing reproductive services and commodities (Malawi, Swaziland, Zambia and Namibia) • Remove excessive tax for lubricant importation (Mozambique)

11. Key programmatic actions needed • Improve strategic information for key populations, including population size estimation, costing to inform target setting and programme design • Strengthen community-led programming (Pakistan); inclusion of communities in sensitization and training for officials at all levels (Brazil) • Define SOP or Minimum Standard for key populations and AGYW programmes • Improve service integration (Swaziland, Uganda, Lesotho, Brazil, Cameroon, and Cote d’Ivoire) • Design programmes tailored to specific needs of Transgender people (Namibia) • Establish mechanisms for contracting and transfer funds from government to CSOs (Indonesia and Brazil)

12. Key programmatic actions continued - condoms • Improve condom distribution network and making condom available in prison settings (Cote d’Ivoire, Cameroon) • Increase number of community outlets to distribute public sector condoms, including to improve access by adolescent and young people (Tanzania, Cote d’Ivoire, Malawi and Cameroon) • Promote condom Total Market Approach and improve condom logistic management (Malawi, DRC, Uganda)

13. Prevention financing • Increase domestic funding, particularly on primary prevention, aiming to reach the Quarter4Prevention on average • Innovative ways of raising funds, HIV Prevention Levy (Pakistan) and HIV Prevention fund (Uganda) • Speed up the release of public funding (Pakistan) • Include prevention elements in health insurance (e.g. VMMC in Kenya) • Institutionalize HIV prevention among key populations into the state governance system within the current health system reform (Ukraine, Brazil) • Development partners need to continue providing the crucial technical and financial support to countries for ending AIDS during transition

14. Examples of capacity strengthening and Technical Assistance needed • Establish/strengthen national coordination and leadership, as well as Technical Working Group for Prevention (Cameroon and many countries) • Target setting and result framework development • Improve strategic information, i.e. key population size estimation, condom quantification for most of the countries • Link Geo Information System with Logistic Information Management System and programming • Development of services packages, minimum standards and standard operation procedures for service provision in line with WHO guidelines • Strengthen condom total market approach, procurement and distribution

15. The 10 action points in road map • Revisiting targets • Strengthen national and local leadership and coordination on prevention • Develop intervention packages and service delivery platform • for HIV prevention • Review policies • Financing • Technical assistance • Improve monitoring & • accountability

16. Summary/Conclusion • Timely and much needed exercise • Mostly achieved objectives • Inclusive consultative process for shared ownership, commitment and implementation needs to continue ! • Re-visiting targets, especially coverage targets, as part of the result framework for prevention development, important priority • Innovation needed (i.e. use of social media for messaging, out-reach, virtual mapping, etc)
