RNP+ STRENGTHENING

The Integrated National Strategic Plan (PNSI) 2023-2030 constitutes a unique framework for all players involved in the fight against AIDS, Tuberculosis, Viral Hepatitis and STIs in Senegal, integrating advances and innovations in prevention, screening and treatment and adopting a person-centered approach. There are 36 associations of PLWHA throughout the country, with a wide range of profiles: women’s associations, mixed associations, youth associations and associations for “key populations”. They are federated within various networks, notably the Réseau national des associations de PVVIH (RNP+) and the Réseau national des associations de populations clés (RENAPOC). Since 1997, RNP+, based in Dakar, has been a key player in the fight against AIDS in Senegal.

Initially created by 3 structures, today it brings together 46 structures, including 36 associations, and is present in the country’s 14 regions via local structures that act as RNP+ focal points. RNP+ is involved in all planning processes at national level, through its technical coordination team made up of seasoned professionals, and at decentralized level through the regional PLHIV organizations that are members of the network.

This support from Solthis, financed by the Initiative, aims to strengthen the network’s governance, improve administrative and financial management, develop members’ skills in advocacy and resource mobilization, and build capacity for program monitoring and evaluation. This will enable RNP+ to better fulfill its mission on behalf of people living with HIV, by strengthening its capacity to carry out effective prevention, support and advocacy actions.
