In this video, we hear from young key populations and a parliamentarian from Zimbabwe on the impact of their participation in the Linking Policy to Programming project, and the challenges they continue to face.

The project aimed to strengthen the legal and policy environments for reducing HIV risk and improving sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for young key populations in Southern Africa.

The project activities promoted the inclusion of young sex workers of all genders, young men who have sex with men and gay-identifying men, young people who inject and use drugs, young people in prison, and young lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex people in guiding strategic policies and national programmes towards greater access to SRHR.

The Linking Policy to Programming project was implemented by UNDP in partnership with the African Men for Sexual Health and Rights (AMSHeR), and the Health Economics and HV/AIDS Research Division (HEARD) of the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Funding for the project was provided by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs through its Leave No One Behind initiative.
