The UNAIDS IATT on Education meeting to address the education sector’s response to the challenge of HIV prevention among most-at-risk young people

From 03-12-2009 to 03-12-2009 (Berlin, Germany) 

The UNAIDS IATT on Education meeting to address the education sector’s response to the challenge of HIV prevention among most-at-risk young people

Preventing HIV infection among children and young people is essential to social and economic development, and one of the key priority areas in the UNAIDS Outcome Framework 2009-2011.

In many countries, most of the children and young people who are most-at-risk, and therefore need to learn about HIV prevention, have never been to school, dropped out early or are no longer in school. This is a challenge for the education sector, which must explore all possible approaches to reach vulnerable adolescents and youth both in and out of school.

To advance work in this area, GTZ, on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), will host the UNAIDS IATT on Education Symposium on the theme of “How to get the message across - The education sector’s response to the challenge of HIV prevention among most-at-risk youth.” The Symposium will take place 2 December 2009 in Berlin, Germany.

The objectives of the Symposium are to:
1. Review existing evidence on education sector approaches to HIV prevention that reach out to most-at-risk young people in different epidemiological settings and identify the most efficient approaches.
2. Exchange experience on factors influencing successful programme planning and implementation.
3. Promote education initiatives to enhance HIV prevention measures among young people in national and/or regional contexts.
4. Develop recommendations for outreach strategies that target young people in an inclusive, gender-sensitive and gender-transformative manner.

Participants will include prominent researchers, representatives of ministries of education, representatives of youth-led and youth-serving organizations, IATT members (including UN and other multilateral agencies, bilateral agencies, and civil society partners) and other partners.
