Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Sustaining HIV prevention in a period of transition. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. This webinar examines why HIV prevention remains one of the most fragile elements of the global HIV response at a time of plateauing or declining donor support. Beyond financing pressures, the session probes structural drivers—high donor dependence, fragmented delivery across multiple implementers, and weak embedding in national health and governance systems—that leave programmes vulnerable to funding volatility, shifting priorities, and limited country ownership. Drawing on country examples, speakers will outline practical pathways toward a more sustainable prevention architecture that is nationally led and financially resilient.
