This book of abstracts presents best practices from the USAID Nuru Ya Mtoto project's first "Best Practice Sharing and Learning Forum" held August 20-22, 2024, in Kisumu, Kisumu County, Kenya. It highlights strategies for comprehensive HIV prevention, collaboration, cross-learning, and improved service delivery, emphasizing the role of local government ownership and multi-sector engagement in HIV prevention, care and treatment service delivery.

The five-year USAID Nuru Ya Mtoto project, funded by PEPFAR, is implemented by a PATH Kenya-led consortium of non-governmental organizations in partnership with county governments and local organizations in Kakamega, Homa Bay, Kisumu, Migori, Kisii, Nyamira, and Vihiga. The project supports the Government of Kenya's HIV and AIDS response by providing and scaling up services for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) through the Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored, and Safe (DREAMS) initiative.
