HIV/AIDS
During 2009 IPPF continued to
support Member Associations in
the development of a broader and
more comprehensive response to
HIV that is situated within a larger
sexual and reproductive health
framework. The HIV strategy has
also allowed IPPF to strengthen
partnerships, build our capacity
and credibility and be a pioneer on
selected technical areas of expertise.
The HIV strategy is built around
these key areas:
Maintaining sustainable
partnerships: Practical partnerships
at national, regional and international
levels have been instrumental in
developing our work. In 2009 IPPF,
through collaboration with partners,
has further developed a series
of HIV prevention report cards for
young women and girls in countries
including Indonesia, Morocco and
Peru. The report cards highlight
specific areas – such as legal provision,
availability and accessibility of services,
and rights – that if addressed provide
viable prevention options for young
women. Furthermore, IPPF continues
to work with a number of external
agencies including UNAIDS and
the Global Network of People living
with HIV on key initiatives such
as the Stigma Index and setting up
Technical Support Facilities (both
discussed in more detail over page).
Building capacity: The 6th Annual
HIV Competencies Workshop took
place in New Delhi and brought
together the 21 HIV Global Focus
Member Associations with Secretariat
staff, to build collective HIV
competency through sharing
experiences and best practice.
Technical areas that were highlighted
ranged from treatment as prevention
and scaling up the prevention of
mother-to-child transmission services,
to addressing the criminalization
of HIV transmission. In addition,
a number of IPPF Regional Offices
have successfully bid to manage
or co-manage a UNAIDS Technical
Support Facility (TSF), reflecting IPPF’s
increasing profile as a trusted provider
in this area. The overarching purpose
of each TSF is to build national
and regional capacity to effectively
respond to AIDS.
Linking HIV and SRH: IPPF is
pioneering work in this arena through
the Integra project and through the
use of the Rapid Assessment Tool for
Sexual and Reproductive Health and
HIV Linkages . The Integra project –
a collaboration between IPPF, London
School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
and the Population Council, and
funded by the Gates Foundation –
is conducting a five year research
project in Kenya, Malawi and
Swaziland to understand the benefits
and costs of a range of models
for delivering integrated HIV and
SRH services in high and medium
HIV prevalence settings. The Rapid
Assessment Tool – conducted in
16 countries in 2009 – assesses the
status of bi-directional linkages within
a national context, at the policy,
systems and service-delivery levels.
We aim to improve the quality of life of individuals by
campaigning for sexual and reproductive health and rights.
