How can STRIVE’s conceptual approach to understanding and intervening on structural drivers of HIV be used to formulate strategies for achieving the SDGs?
This Learning Lab:
- explores the “indivisible” qualities of the SDGs
- examines how sectors must work together “upstream” in order to achieve SDG targets
- draws on examples of structural interventions from inside and outside of STRIVE’s body of work
- introduces an innovative financing model that has the potential to catalyze progress on the SDGs
