#Lenacapavir could transform #HIV prevention in #Africa, but in #SouthAfrica the real issue is scale, not only politics. A country with the world’s largest HIV epidemic cannot rely on a limited initial supply of doses, especially when it already funds most of its HIV response and has pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity. The article argues that the real test is whether innovation can be matched with sufficient supply, local production, and sustainable access. aidspan.org/Blog/view/3261…

Communities have always driven the #HIV response. HIV literacy turns knowledge into access, better health, and community power. This practical guide by ITPC (with @UNAIDS & community leadership) supports real-world action. Download it here itpcglobal.org/resource/globa…

Since 2000, the richest 1% captured over 40% of all new wealth—while the bottom half received just 1%. Meanwhile, 1 in 4 people globally are skipping bills, even as aid to the poorest is being cut. #EndInequalities #GlobalDevelopment 🔗 unaids.org/en/speeches/20…

SRHR is not optional—especially in crisis. At the #HumanitarianCongressBerlin2026, global voices are coming together to confront a hard truth: while sexual and reproductive health is recognized as lifesaving care, access in emergency settings is still far from guaranteed. On 21 April, @nellymunyasia will take the stage alongside a distinguished panel of global experts working at the forefront of humanitarian response. She will be joined by Maura Daly, SRH Platform Leader and SRHR Specialist Advisor at @MSF_USA; Annick Villarosa, Head of Unit for Humanitarian Aid Thematic Policies and International Humanitarian Law at the European Commission; and Dr. Mike Mpoyi, Associate Director for Quality of Care at @IpasOrg. The session will be chaired by Catrin Schulte-Hillen from the Humanitarian Response Division at @UNFPA. They will unpack the persistent gap between global commitments and the realities on the ground—where funding cuts, political resistance, and coordinated attacks on SRHR continue to limit access to essential care. The discussion will move beyond acknowledgment of the problem to focus on practical, actionable solutions for donors, service providers, and policymakers to ensure that people in crisis can access the full range of sexual and reproductive health services, including contraception and abortion care. Because in emergencies, dignity, choice, and care cannot wait. #HumanitarianCongressBerlin #HCBerlin #RHNKImpact
