ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an overview of recent policy frameworks and funding streams on adolescent HIV prevention, including treatment as prevention, and an analysis of how they create a promising opportunity for change. It then seeks to connect the theoretical benefits of such political and financial commitments to the reality on the ground by examining how they are being translated into action in a selection of Eastern and Southern African countries. The role of civil society organizations in promoting accountability against new targets and initiatives is also examined. The chapter ends with a set of recommendations to global, regional, and national stakeholders on how to take advantage of this heightened global interest to achieve maximum progress on HIV prevention among adolescents.
