HIV Prevention Report Cards


Under the Global Coalition on Women and AIDS (GCWA), IPPF, together with UNFPA and Young Positives, are developing 20 country Report Cards to strengthen HIV Prevention strategies for girls and young women. 

Each Report Card provides a country profile, information on HIV prevention from the legal, policy, service availability and accessibility, rights and participation perspectives and includes quotes and issues raised by young women and girls of the country.

They also discuss key social and cultural issues, including the role of men and boys in HIV prevention. These form the basis for a series of recommendations aimed at increasing and improving the programmatic, policy and funding actions taken on HIV prevention for young women and girls, targeting national, regional and international decision makers.
