5. 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

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

7. 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

8. 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 ,

9. 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

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

11. 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
