Youth-led responses: a definition for stakeholders supporting youth leadership in the HIV response
19 July 2024
A participatory process was convened that engaged over 100 young people in all regions to support the development of the definition. A survey, along with consultations in English, Russian and Spanish, ensured young people in all their diversity had the opportunity to feed into the process and have their say on what youth-led responses are. It was also identified in the process that for a definition of “youth-led responses” to be effective, there would need to be a definition of “youth-led organizations”, which was developed concurrently.

As countries transition away from donor assistance and progress towards universal health coverage, there is growing emphasis on the importance of integrating HIV services into national health systems to support sustainability. However, given the equity advantage of the HIV response, there are concerns that many of the equity gains from HIV programmes could be lost in the transition to a more integrated, less disease focused approach unless care is taken to preserve and build on them.
