Daily oral PrEP is moving from an idea to an offering in more countries and communities every day. And in the places where it isn’t being offered, demand is growing!
To help advocates track implementation on the ground in detail, AVAC has developed a new section of PrEP Watch (a clearinghouse of information on PrEP science, research, cost, access and advocacy) focused specifically on implementation efforts underway.
On the Implementation Initiatives page, you can find information about some of the different initiatives funding PrEP implementation in sub-Saharan Africa, including the USAID-supported OPTIONS Consortium and the PEPFAR DREAMS Initiative. Information about funder-defined initiatives can help advocates understand who’s who and what’s planned—and to follow the money!
You can also learn about the full spectrum of work happening at country level in Kenya, South Africa and Zimbabwe. As PrEP is rolled out in additional countries, more case studies will be added.
PrEP Watch will continue to grow as PrEP introduction and rollout moves forward and as new efforts and initiatives are started.
