FROM HIV PREVENTION TO CARE: OUR MID-YEAR IMPACT

During the first half of 2026, HFFG expanded community-based HIV prevention, testing and treatment services for Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) and their communities across three regions of Ghana. Through peer-led outreach, HIV self-testing, condom promotion and timely linkage to treatment, we're helping more people know their status, protect their health and access care when they need it most.

These achievements reflect the power of community-led action and strong partnerships in advancing the national HIV response.

💡 "Civil society's role starts with staying in the room after the cameras leave. It's easy to get commitments on paper; the harder work is making sure they don't just sit there." — Fitsum Lakew Alemayehu, AU Liaison Manager, WACI Health.

Two weeks ago, African Union (AU) Heads of State met in Accra, Ghana for the AU Extraordinary Summit on Health. Big commitments were made, including a reaffirmed commitment to implement the 'AU Roadmap to 2030 and Beyond'. Now the hard work continues: translating commitments into action, and action into real changes that improve people's lives.

That's why GFAN Africa and Hope For Future Generations Ghana convened a civil society side event in Accra, bringing together civil society leaders, affected communities, policymakers, and development partners to align on turning the AU Roadmap to 2030 into tangible health outcomes.

In our latest blog, we hear from Fitsum and Martin Ame Nuquaye, youth health advocate, on their reflections: why the events mattered, what came out of the discussions, and where civil society goes next to support the Summit's commitments and ensure accountability for their implementation.

As Martin puts it: "Africa needs to invest in its own health systems, and communities must stay at the center of that process, not on the sidelines of it."
