Last week, GHIV Africa, under the IRC-SIDA partnership, held a 3-day refresher training dedicated to disease surveillance, reporting, and outbreak response.

Over three action-packed days, we:
Recapped surveillance fundamentals and their real-world impact

Strengthened (Community Based Surveillance) CBS and PHC-IDSR linkages

Walked through the full alert-to-response cycle—verification, investigation, response, and feedback

Developed practical work plans and prioritized reporting sites for active surveillance

Tackled tough conversations with Disease Surveillance and Notification Officers (DSNOs) on data delays and co-created workable solutions

But the real win? Our participants left not just with new skills, but with renewed confidence—ready to protect their communities when it matters most.

Thanks to every Focal Person, DSNO, and IRC-SIDA for investing in stronger, safer surveillance systems.

Every child deserves the chance to learn and build a brighter future. GHIV Africa through the Multi-Year Resilience Program (MYRP II) with funding from Education Cannot Wait in partnership with UNICEF Nigeria have created a pathway where out-of-school learners affected by conflict are taking vital steps to return to formal education.

True generosity isn’t just an obligation—it is a profound privilege that shapes the fabric of our humanity. As we mark the International Day of Charity today, September 5th, we are reminded that real global solidarity lives in the hands that reach out to lift others.

This spirit of unity is brought to life through the incredible dedication of our donors/partners, whose steadfast collaboration and shared vision enable us to reach communities in deep need, build bridges of hope, and create lasting, positive change.

How will you use the privilege of giving today? 💙🌍

One Conversation. One Choice. One Future.
What happens when a teenage girl is given the confidence, knowledge, and safe space to ask questions about her future?
She begins to realize that her voice matters. Her choices matter. Her future matters.

That was the spirit of the Girls Decide session held by GHIV Africa with funding from SCI-IHA MAPLE project in Zanari Community, where adolescent girls came together for an engaging conversation on “Making Informed Decisions and Choices.”

Before stepping into Module 2, Making Informed Decisions and Choices, the girls took a moment to look back at Module 1, Getting to Know the Girls. They reflected on lessons that helped them build trust, discover their strengths, understand their worth, and appreciate the value they bring to their communities.

Then came the peer-learning challenge.
Divided into three groups, the girls shared what they had learned from Module 1. As they presented, listened, encouraged one another, and asked questions, something powerful happened: confidence grew.

The session created a safe and welcoming space where girls could openly explore issues that shape their everyday lives —from education and health to relationships, personal development, and their aspirations for the future.

They learned that every choice has consequences, that setting goals can help shape the future they want, and that seeking guidance from trusted adults is a sign of strength not weakness.

For girls growing up in communities where challenges such as early marriage, limited access to education, and gender-based violence can affect their opportunities, access to knowledge and supportive spaces can make a profound difference.

Girls Decide is more than a session. It is about equipping girls with the knowledge and confidence to pause, think, ask questions, understand their options, and make decisions that are right for their lives.

This activity is part of the broader Girls Decide project, funded by Canada and implemented in partnership with Save the Children and GHIV Africa. By taking the girls through the curriculum step by step, each module builds a stronger foundation for the conversations and decisions ahead.

At GHIV Africa, we believe that when girls are empowered to make informed choices, they are better positioned to shape their own futures.

And so, the journey continues. One conversation, one informed decision, one empowered girl at a time.
