PAC and African partners CEYOHO in Botswana, HIV Survivors and Partners Network (HSPN) in South Africa, and Love to Love Organization in Uganda formed the U=U Africa Forum in 2021 to stimulate and support U=U programs in Africa. The Forum shares ideas and fosters collaborations in countries and regions where in-country partners have expressed need for support to develop sustainable and authentic U=U-related programs.

The Forum produced the virtual U=U Africa “Best Practices” Forum building upon the Love to Love Organization’s 2019 U=U conference and march in Uganda, and the 2020 CEYOHO U=U conference. The two-hour forum focused on U=U communications and was primarily for stakeholders currently operating U=U

education programs in Africa. The goals were to share lessons learned and to identify the programs and people on the continent who are doing the U=U work so we can mobilize stakeholders and continue to build the U=U Africa movement. This was the first of a series of forums to stimulate and support country- and region-wide African U=U movements and provide partners with practical tools and guidance.

The Forum serves as a pilot for partners who wish to form collaboratives in other regions. To learn more or join the U=U Africa movement, contact UequalsUAfrica@preventionaccess.org

The U=U Africa Forum produced the virtual U=U Africa “Best Practices” Forum building upon the Love to Love Organization’s U=U conference and march in Uganda in 2019 and the CEYOHO U=U conference in 2020.

The two-hour U=U communications webinar was primarily for stakeholders currently operating U=U education programs in Africa. We shared examples and lessons learned from community, government and implementing agencies conducting U=U communications work and mobilized stakeholders to continue to build the U=U Africa movement.

The recording, report, and slide deck were distributed to the U=U Africa network list. If you have ideas for future webinars, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach us at: UequalsUAfrica@preventionaccess.org
