DAY 2 UPDATE – NHRC CRA TRAINING The Global Fund

Day 2 of the training organized by National Human Rights Commission in collaboration with Global Fund focused on strengthening practical knowledge and field-level application of human rights and grievance redress mechanisms (GRM). The day began with a recap of Day 1, reinforcing key concepts around human rights, dignity and protection of Key and Vulnerable Populations (KVPs).

A major highlight was the session on NHRC Standard Minimum Guidelines, which emphasized the rights of individuals—especially KVPs—during arrest, detention and prosecution. Participants were enlightened on safeguards within the justice system and the importance of promoting rights-based law enforcement and accountability across all levels.

The training also introduced Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) as a powerful tool for accountability. Participants learned how to collect and use complaint data to identify systemic issues, while ensuring ethical and secure data management. This session further strengthened our understanding of how evidence can drive advocacy and improve service delivery.

During the breakout sessions, participants engaged in practical exercises on case management, referral and redress planning, including role-play simulations. This hands-on approach enhanced skills in complaint documentation, risk assessment and appropriate response strategies for human rights violations.

The day concluded with sessions on CRA deployment and community engagement strategies, where participants developed state-level action plans and clarified reporting structures. This ensures that Community Rights Advocates are well-prepared to build trust, manage risks and effectively support communities in addressing grievances.

Together, we are strengthening systems to protect rights, prevent abuse, and promote accountability.

National Human Rights Commission Yobe State commenced National Training and Deployment of Community Rights Advocates (CRAs) which commenced successfully under the leadership of the National Human Rights Commission, with support from Global Fund. The training focuses on the expansion and integration of Grievance Redress Mechanisms (GRM) to prevent abuse, gender-based violence and human rights violations among Key and Vulnerable Populations.

As NEPWHAN Yobe State, we are proud to be part of this important initiative aimed at strengthening community systems and ensuring the protection of rights and dignity for all, especially people living with HIV and other vulnerable groups.

The sessions provided in-depth insights into fundamental human rights principles, Nigeria’s legal and policy frameworks and key provisions of the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act (VAPP) 2015. Participants also explored various forms of human rights violations affecting Key and Vulnerable Populations, including stigma, discrimination and structural barriers to accessing essential services.

In addition, the training emphasized practical approaches such as identifying victims and perpetrators, analyzing real-life scenarios and understanding effective grievance redress systems, including complaint handling, documentation and referral pathways. The role of advocacy in strengthening accountability and influencing policy reforms was also highlighted.

We remain committed to applying these lessons to ensure no one is left behind.

Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of NEPWHAN Yobe State Coordinator, Alh. Adamu Ali Kaduwa, who returned to his Creator today.

The Janaza (funeral prayer) is scheduled to take place tomorrow, Monday, by 10:00am at his residence in Daɗin Kowa, Potiskum, Yobe State.

We pray that Allah (SWT) forgives his shortcomings, grants him Paradise, and gives his family, NEPWHAN members and the entire community the strength to bear the loss.

Ameen.

What does the new Global AIDS strategy "United to End AIDS" aim to achieve by 2030

Based on a review of the Global AIDS Strategy 2021-2026: "End Inequalities, End AIDS" (often referred to with the slogan "United to End AIDS"), the core aim by 2030 is to end AIDS as a public health threat.

This is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goal target 3.3.

The strategy sets out precise, ambitious targets for 2025 to put the world on track to achieve the 2030 goal. These 2025 targets are built on three strategic priorities:

Three Strategic Prioraries with 2025 Targets:

1. Maximize Equitable and Equal Access to Comprehensive People-Centered HIV Services.

· 95-95-95 Testing and Treatment Targets: 95% of people living with HIV know their status, 95% of those who know their status are on treatment, and 95% of those on treatment are virally suppressed.
· 95% of Key Populations have access to combination prevention options (e.g., PrEP, harm reduction, condoms).
· Eliminate vertical transmission: Reduce new HIV infections among children to under 20,000 globally.

2. Break Down Barriers to Achieving HIV Outcomes.

· Reduce Stigma and Discrimination: Less than 10% of countries have punitive legal and policy frameworks that deny or limit access to services.
· Reduce Gender Inequalities and Violence: Less than 10% of women and girls experience gender-based violence and inequality.
· Address other structural drivers like poverty, criminalization, and marginalization that increase vulnerability.

3. Fully Finance and Resource Efficient, Sustainable HIV Responses and Integrate them into Systems for Health, Social Protection, Humanitarian Settings and Pandemic Responses.

· Fully fund the HIV response (closing the annual funding gap).
· Build resilient and integrated health systems that include HIV services.
· Ensure 90% of people living with and affected by HIV are protected against financial hardship and catastrophic out-of-pocket health expenditures.

Ultimate 2030 Goals:

By meeting the 2025 targets, the strategy aims to achieve by 2030:

· Reduce annual new HIV infections from 1.7 million (2019) to under 370,000.

· Reduce annual AIDS-related deaths from 690,000 (2019) to under 250,000.

· Eliminate HIV-related stigma and discrimination.

· Eliminate HIV transmission from mother to child.

The "United to End AIDS" strategy is a roadmap to end the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030 by addressing the social injustices and inequalities that fuel it, focusing on the people and regions most affected, and using evidence-based, people-centered services.
