Joint Programme Results

The Joint Team in Mali supported the expansion of HIV services for all, including in humanitarian settings through capacity building of healthcare providers and strengthening of community-based HIV responses.

Access to prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) service increased: 2400 health facilities and 78 paediatric care sites received HIV tests and other materials, while 522 healthcare providers had training on HIV testing, early diagnosis and paediatric care. In Kayes and Sikasso, 177 trained healthcare providers in PMTCT and paediatric care sites sensitized a total of 41 285 people, including 12 925 pregnant women on vertical transmission of HIV. The use of PMTCT, nutrition, sexually transmitted infection (STI) and tuberculosis services as entry points scaled up case detection among children living with HIV, while index testing in Intensive Nutritional Education and Recovery Units helped to identify and screen 24 629 people (UNICEF, UNAIDS Secretariat).

A digital campaign based on the Hello Ado app comprising information on HIV, sexual and reproductive health, gender-based violence and HIV-related stigma reached 151 000 adolescents and young people through technical and financial support provided to eight youth associations (UNESCO). In four regions, 330 young people improved their knowledge of HIV prevention, menstrual hygiene, gender-based violence and positive masculinity via a joint outreach initiative led by three youth organizations (UN Women).

The Sogoniko Youth Centre in Bamako provided HIV testing services to 6259 people at the centre and through mobile outreach initiatives (UNFPA). To improve HIV prevention and testing services in prisons, 30 prisoners peer educators and prison staff from two prisons received training on HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) sensitization techniques and promotion of safe behaviours, and 131 prisoners got screened for HIV and STIs through a collaboration with government and civil society organizations (UNAIDS Secretariat).
