You cannot underestimate the importance of investing time in building strong foundations and relationships within and between SSLN country teams to achieve long-term change and impact.

One thing I've learned about SSLN is its convening power - this Ghana KP workshop brings together all constituencies.

Since joining SSLN, I've gained significant research knowledge, particularly in HIV/AIDS. It's broadened my understanding and equipped me to present factual data, rather than relying on vague numbers, which has been crucial for my growth.

This network enables policymakers, program managers, and implementers to exchange South-to-South best practices, promoting effective strategies and addressing implementation gaps in resource-limited contexts.

It was an interactive approach that shared experiences and strategies from other countries, helping us reflect on how to adapt and integrate them into our own context.

SSLN has had a significant impact by uniting governments, communities, and countries to share insights, with valuable learning opportunities and work on PSATs and assessments.
