Zambart is a Zambian research organisation established in 2004 from a research collaboration between the School of Medicine at the University of Zambia and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) that spans over 20 years. From the initial studies of the impact of HIV on the clinical presentation and outcome of Tuberculosis, the scope and partnership of the research have expanded widely. Zambart has grown to become one of the leading research groups supporting healthcare advances in TB and HIV. Since 1989, Zambart has actively partnered with the Zambian government through direct collaboration in healthcare research. Zambart also works closely with other research organizations and academic institutions within Africa, and worldwide to help innovatively reduce the public-health burden caused by the dual epidemics in resource-limited communities in Zambia and beyond. The Yathu Yathu (For us, by us) study aims to provide such evidence. Through a cluster-randomised trial, this study will evaluate the impact of community-based, peer-led SRH services on knowledge of HIV status and coverage of key SRH services among AYP aged 15-24. The study will be conducted in two communities in Lusaka.The Yathu Yathu intervention is made up of 2 main components: 1.) Delivery of comprehensive SRH services by peer support workers, lay counsellors and a nurse at community-based places called hubs, and 2.) Innovative “prevention points card” (PPC) system.

Our interactive online booth will bring to life arts-based approaches to HIV prevention and support based on METRO Charity's work with Latin American and Eastern European communities living in London. Our booth will include interactive activities such as short film screenings, virtual-reality films, and creative games, as well as displaying examples of arts-based HIV prevention and support work, such as photography, theatre, video-clips, poetry, drawings and art work produced in HIV workshops with Latin American and Polish migrants living in London. The aim of the interactive booth will be to demonstrate how creative arts-based approaches can inform and empower migrant communities around HIV prevention and support. The booth will show how such approaches can make migrant communities stronger and more resilient and reduce HIV related stigma, and will inspire other attendees at the Global Village to explore arts-based HIV prevention and support approaches. An online forum will be set up to allow interested attendees to share ideas, suggestions and ask questions following the conference.
