HIV AIDS continues to be the leading cause of death and contributes to almost 15 percent of deaths in children and 20 percent of all maternal deaths. Increasing rates of HIV infections among young women between ages 15 and 24 is worrying and requires collaborative efforts from all sectors.
This intervention is anchored on the objectives of: • Counseling of teen mothers • Influence investment in high-impact activities to promote maternal and child health and HIV control • Mobilize men as active agents of change • Involve communities to address barriers • Provide leadership, accountability and recognition to accelerate the attainment of HIV prevention, management as well as maternal and child health targets.
