Survey of

Youth Organizations in PEPFAR Countries

Advocates for Youth is conducting a survey of youth-run and

youth-serving organizations in countries that receive international HIV/AIDS

assistance from the U.S.

government through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief

(PEPFAR). The purpose is to assist youth organizations who may have lost

resources due to abstinence-until-marriage prevention policies with potential

funding from non-U.S. government donors. Additionally, Advocates will share

this information with U.S.

policy-makers, young people, and the media to draw attention to the need for a

comprehensive HIV prevention approach that is integrated with sexual and

reproductive health for youth. Advocates will respect the anonymity of all

respondents if desired to protect those who may still receive U.S. government resources.

Please answer as many of these questions as are relevant to your

organization.
