•
Uniform personnel
characteristics
•
Institutional mandate and
standard: UN resolution (1308&
1325), IASC guidelines
How UNFPA intervened?
• 3 main phases:
– Acute emergency: HIV
prevention (leaflet, STI drug,
condom)
– Stabilization: HIV prevention
among Peacekeepers
– Transition: HIV prevention
among surrounding
population and DDR
Lesson learnt
• Humanitarian Actors did not perceive RH & HIV
as Humanitarian issues
• Engaging in HIV prevention efforts with pk and
at the outset of DDR process will help to reduce
new infection
• PK missions partnerships contribute positively
in HIV response (security, logistic and access to
clinical services)
• DDR process is politically driven: linked to the
political climate (delays, challenges…)
