Strategy for prevention

Reproductive health is an important entry point for HIV prevention, which goes handin- hand with the prevention of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

In 2001, UNFPA developed its strategic programming framework, with a focus on three core areas:

• Preventing HIV infection in young people;



• Condom programming;



• Preventing HIV infection in pregnant women.

To create an enabling environment for action, UNFPA addresses a number of cross-cutting issues:

• Mainstreaming gender concerns;



• Population and development concerns;



• Advocacy and partnerships;



• Capacity building.

Activities are carried out in a variety of programme settings:

• Emergency and conflict situations;



• Maternal health;



• Family planning;



• STI and other reproductive health service delivery settings;



• Informal settings to reach high-risk groups.
