CAMI International Education and Outreach for MPTs

Your generous support continues to help us as we work to educate and engage stakeholders about Multipurpose Prevention Technologies (MPTs) and the need to accelerate their development and eventual use.

After the Global Forum on MPTs in London in January, CAMI has continued to work with experts from around the world in the areas of family planning, HIV/AIDS and STI prevention, product developers, regulators, social scientists, policy makers, clinicians, and donors to shape the evolving strategy for accelerating the development of MPTs.  In particular, we have spent much time collaborating with regional champions from India and Sub-Saharan Africa to develop communications and outreach strategies that are specific to each region, including the planning of upcoming convenings in Kenya and India. 

In the last four months, your generosity has greatly enhanced our work.  Here are some examples of what your donations have been/will be supporting:

• the development of a brochure and fact sheet on MPTs for distribution to domestic and international stakeholders.  This included the design, printing and distribution costs;
• the enhancement of the educational platform to include a module specific to more scientific audiences, which is being used for both web-based and in-person presentations with international audiences;
• strategic outreach efforts, including development of an outreach toolkit tailored to specific regions and populations to help engage stakeholders.  This includes training and distribution of the toolkit to our international partners;
• to help support a CAMI staff member to attend the International AIDS Conference in Washington, DC later this summer.

As CAMI moves forward, your support will continue to contribute to our work.  Attending conferences and having outreach materials to distribute to potential stakeholders will play a key role in engaging new audiences.  This will be critical as we continue to expand our international outreach efforts.  There is still a long road ahead, but we are confident that with continued support like yours, we will reach our goal!
