Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Institutionalizing community engagement in HIV prevention. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. This is the final webinar in the four-part Sustainable HIV Prevention series, which takes a community‑engaged approach to strengthening the HIV response. In a changing world where governments face tighter budgets, competing health priorities, and shifting donor funding, community-led responses offer valuable and sustainable solutions for HIV prevention. This webinar will dive into how structured and meaningful community engagement can enhance the impact, fairness, and long-term viability of HIV prevention efforts. Speakers will unpack why proven approaches, like community-led monitoring, peer outreach, youth leadership and participatory feedback, remain underused, and what it takes to embed them in national systems. The webinar will focus on moving from fragmented, donor-driven efforts to stronger, well-resourced models led by communities, especially young people and key populations. https://iasociety.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QxoyA8S7S1CVUXcS5zQGYA#/registration
