Accessible at: http://www.icrw.org/what-we-do/adolescents/adolescent-girl-expertmeetings/economic-empowerment-HIV Girls and young women are disproportionately affected by both poverty and HIV. Donors, policymakers, researchers, and program implementers are exploring economic empowerment programs as a strategy to improve the economic and health status of girls and young women. But the linkages between HIV status and economic status are complex, and the role that economic approaches play in preventing HIV infection and mitigating its impact is unproven. In April 2010, ICRW with support from the Nike Foundation convened a meeting of researchers, program implementers, policymakers, and donors to explore these linkages and approaches. 194
