S04E05: Funding the Future: Centring Youth in HIV Integration
In this episode of the Young Emerging Leaders, titled “Funding the Future: Centring Youth in HIV Integration,” moderator Tanaka Mukuhwa engages in an inspiring conversation with Michael Akanji and Sharon Nakitto on the vital role of youth in shaping sustainable HIV responses. They explore how meaningful youth engagement, inclusive funding models, and innovative tools like Lenacapavir can transform HIV prevention and integration efforts. The discussion sheds light on the barriers young key populations (YKPs) face in accessing resources, while highlighting how youth-led organisations can position themselves as credible and influential partners in the global HIV response. Together, the speakers call for greater investment in youth leadership, equitable funding mechanisms, and policy shifts that empower young people to lead with impact. This powerful conversation serves as both a reflection and a call to action, urging listeners to reclaim civic space, amplify youth voices, and ensure access and equity for all.
