DESCRIPTION:About the Research\n\nRan van der Wal is a PhD candidate in the
  Department of Family Medicine. Her dissertation addressed structural driv
 ers of HIV infection like poverty\, lack of education and gender inequalit
 y. Her research explored how existing social protection programs in Botswa
 na could be made more inclusive of the HIV-vulnerable group of unemployed 
 and out-of-school young women. She systematically reviewed best practices 
 of HIV-sensitive social protection in East and Southern Africa. A qualitat
 ive exploratory study explored barriers and solutions in Botswana (in pres
 s). The regional and local evidence contributed alternative policy and pra
 ctice options that young women and frontline service providers assessed an
 d prioritized in a modified Policy Delphi. The findings reveal extensive s
 ocioeconomic disadvantage of unemployed and out-of-school young women in B
 otswana and ample policy space to make existing programs more HIV-sensitiv
 e.\n\nPresenter: Ran van der Wal\n\nSubject: Structural Drivers of HIV Inf
