Sexual and Reproductive Health & Rights (SRHR) and HIV Prevention with Universal Health Coverage (UHC) was convened jointly by AfNHi, WACI Health, CASPR, WHO, CSEM, Frontline AIDS, from 18th to 20th June 2024 at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya. The meeting brought together lead advocates from nine selected African countries spearheading the process at the country level, with the intention of implementing this initiative.

The selection process was based on the existing partnerships between the collaborating entities and country partners who are already engaging in the integration of SRHR and UHC. The countries included; Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria, Malawi, Uganda, Burundi, and Kenya. The two-and-a-half-day project commenced with a needs assessment, informing the development of training workshops and adopting an advocate’s guide based on the WHO handbook. The workshop provided a platform for the advocates and partners to discuss, deliberate and share experiences. Participants also explored challenges, best practices and lessons learnt in Bridging Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and HIV Prevention with Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The forum took an open floor model with presentations, group work, and plenary sessions.
