About the Course
Effective HIV/AIDS interventions are inseparable from gender dynamics, yet many programs struggle to translate gender-sensitive aspirations into measurable operational results. Organizations today require practitioners who can prove impact in this field by demonstrating capabilities in gender-disaggregated data analysis, SGBV referral integration, and rights-based advocacy. This course provides a structured system to transform your approach, moving from general awareness to technical proficiency in applying the GIPA Principle (Greater Involvement of People Living with HIV/AIDS) and the PEPFAR Gender Strategy. You will learn to identify how harmful masculinities and feminine vulnerabilities drive the epidemic and, more importantly, how to design interventions that mitigate these risks using evidence-based methodologies.
Throughout this intensive five-day program, you will practice hands-on implementation of gender audits and be introduced to advanced concepts in intersectional epidemiology. You will learn to develop comprehensive gender integration plans, design sex-disaggregated reporting dashboards, and formulate advocacy briefs that align with Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 5. The curriculum acknowledges the real-world constraints you face, such as limited budgets, restrictive legal environments, and the rapid shift toward digital health platforms. By the end of the training, you will have a toolkit of templates and frameworks ready for immediate application in your specific organizational context, ensuring your HIV/AIDS response is resilient, equitable, and compliant with international human rights standards.
