The Future Won't Build Itself: Sustaining the Movement CASPR Started
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Advocate,
Join AVAC and partners on Tuesday, July 14 ([link removed]) to hear the impact stories of ten years of the Coalition to Accelerate and Support Prevention Research ([link removed]) (CASPR). Established in 2016, CASPR ([link removed]) was funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and designed by AVAC in collaboration with leading civil society partners to influence HIV prevention research, policy and implementation.
CASPR was paused in early 2025 amidst sweeping cuts to US federal funding for foreign assistance and the dismantling of USAID ([link removed]) . Yet the Coalition’s impact did not end there, it built an intergenerational movement that continues today.
And with attacks on global health and shrinking resources dismantling hard-won gains, the lessons from CASPR are a call for continued action: strong, community-led advocacy is indispensable to safeguard the future of HIV prevention.
Coalition members from from APHA ([link removed]) and WACI Health ([link removed]) will share how they transformed HIV prevention – helping to shape ethical research practices, amplifying community leadership, influencing policy, and ensuring that the voices of those most affected by HIV help guide research and access agendas – as well as their action plan for the future.
