Lessons learned from a ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳and UNAIDS initiative to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 in western and central Africa
In 2020, ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳and UNAIDS piloted a joint initiative to mitigate the socio-economic impact of COVID-19 on marginalized populations often left behind by providing cash transfers to vulnerable people living with HIV, key populations and their households in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, C?te d¡¯Ivoire and Niger. The regional synthesis and case studies showcase the valuable lessons learnt from this joint effort with a focus on the importance of transparent collaboration, of civil society and communities¡¯ participation for improved results, and of working on longer term solutions including HIV-sensitive social protection.
