Areas of Focus

01

Driving Product Innovation and Relevance

We work to ensure that HIV prevention products are timely, effective, and affordable—championing community-centred research and development. By gathering and applying user insights, we help shape PrEP programmes and inform the design of future prevention options.

02

Mapping the Field

We collaborate on the world's leading platforms for tracking PrEP introduction and scale-up—including PrEPWatch and the Global PrEP Tracker—providing real-time data that informs programs, policies, and investments across 150+ countries.

03

Expanding Access and Adoption

We identify gaps in prevention coverage and provide technical support, tools, and evidence to close them. Our advocacy promotes the integration of HIV prevention into broader sexual and reproductive health services, accelerating market entry and scale-up in priority regions.

04

Strengthening Strategic Alignment

We bring together donors, developers, implementers, and advocates to align introduction and delivery strategies. As a strategic adviser and connector, we help stakeholders navigate barriers to product scale-up while maximising opportunity and minimising duplication.

05

Informing Policy and Market Decisions

We compile, analyse, and share market and programmatic data to guide investments and strategies across the HIV prevention landscape. Our timely, actionable information reaches decision-makers and stakeholders when and where it matters most.
