Why We Exist

Putting women and girls at the centre of every decision.

AWPCAB ladies in Malawi

For too long, HIV prevention decisions were made without listening to the women and girls most affected. AWPCAB exists to change that.

We are a pan-African platform advancing accountability, advocacy, and HIV prevention choice, ensuring the voices, experiences, and priorities of women and girls help inform policies, programmes, and prevention options across Africa.

How We Drive Change

Advocacy · Learning · Action

Creating change takes more than awareness. Through advocacy, learning, and collective action, we advance HIV prevention choice and accountability across Africa.
