GLOBAL FUND STEPS UP INVESTMENTS IN WOMEN AND GIRLS
ABSTRACT
In sub-Saharan Africa, there are about 8,600 new HIV infections among adolescent girls and young women every week. The Global Fund’s new Strategy for 2017-2022 places increased emphasis on reaching this group, including measuring HIV incidence among women aged 15-24 as a key performance indicator. To achieve its objectives, an additional $55 million on top of country allocations is earmarked for the scale-up of HIV prevention among AGYW in the 2017-2019 funding cycle.
