  1. HIV Preventionin Emergency Settings (Peacekeepers and DDR)UNFPA Cote d’Ivoire KONE Idrissa NPO HIV /ASRH Focal point Nairobi , IAWG meeting 8-10 October 2007

  2. Why UNFPA intervened ? • HIV prevalence in Cote d’Ivoire: (4.7%) Women 6.4% • Uniform personnel characteristics • Institutional mandate and standard: UN resolution (1308& 1325), IASC guidelines

  3. 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

  4. 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…)
