A decade and beyond: learnings from HIV programming with underserved and marginalized key populations in Kenya.

Introduction: Key populations (KP) continue to account for high HIV incidence globally. Still, prioritization of KP in the national HIV prevention response remains insufficient, leading to their suboptimal access to HIV programmes. This commentary aims to share Kenya's challenges and successes in achieving 2020 global HIV targets and scaling up the KP programme in the last decade.

Design, implementation, and monitoring of HIV service packages for people who inject drugs: An assessment of programs supported by the Global Fund in 46 countries.

Background: People who inject drugs (PWID) are at higher risk of acquiring and transmitting HIV, accounting for an estimated 10% of HIV new infections globally. The World Health Organization (WHO) and other international agencies have clearly outlined the comprehensive package of services that should be available for PWID.

Methods: This paper summarizes the data and findings from the PWID service packages assessed in 15 countries across different regions.

Are monitoring and evaluation systems adequate to report the programmatic coverage of HIV services among key populations in countries?

There was no global guidance or agreement regarding when a country has an adequate system to report on the service packages among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) key populations. This article describes an approach to categorizing the system in a country for reporting the service package among HIV key populations. The approach consists of four dimensions, namely the epidemiological significance, comprehensiveness of the service packages, geographic coverage of services, and adequacy of the monitoring system.
