In November, focus group workshops with key populations living with HIV explored their needs for healthy eating and nutrition, covering knowledge, attitudes, public health experiences, and communication needs, to inform future work in this area.

Data was gathered for risk reduction and response plans with technical and scientific collaboration and initial needs assessment guides and training modules were shared with the National Secretariat for Risk Management (SNGR).
