The SSLN is a space for African countries to come together and share best practices in support of greater HIV prevention capacity.
You will learn from your peers, discover new and effective prevention methods and approaches, and gain insights to inform grant making, policy decisions and programme implementation.
As we conclude this phase of the SSLN, we celebrate the collective efforts, learnings and impactful collaborations from across the region.
The PSAT helped identify bottlenecks in our HIV prevention activities and guided our Global Fund grant and the drafting of our first PrEP plan, ensuring we addressed HIV drug resistance.
Sessions on community outreach, peer education, and CLM highlighted the importance of prioritizing monitoring and evaluation for key population programs to reduce HIV infections, given their unique challenges.
The future is full of promise, and through SSLN, we can share innovations and support each other in overcoming challenges.
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.
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.
I think the team is fantastic—young, energetic, and innovative. I hope they continue their great work with the same infectious energy and enthusiasm."
