Description

Work Package 4 (WP4) focused on increasing the capacity of Community Health Workers (CHWs) in participating organizations to promote and conduct community-led and community-based interventions targeting individuals facing intersectional vulnerabilities. The objective was to enhance the effectiveness of prevention, testing, and linkage to care efforts for HIV/AIDS, TB, and STIs among these populations. WP4 aimed to identify areas where the HIV response is not effectively reaching its intended targets and understand the reasons behind these gaps. During the second part of the Results and Learning workshop (online), participants discussed recommendations for three different areas: Linkage to care, stakeholder engagement, and advocacy.

The following document provides short definitions of each topic that are used within the CORE project. Recommendations are listed subsequently.

Description

Project CORE aims to reduce health inequalities in the EU by supporting inclusive, community-driven approaches. WP7 focused on identifying legal, regulatory, and structural barriers that hinder CL/CB service delivery for HIV, viral hepatitis, STIs, and TB.
This brief draws on data from 27 EU countries collected in 2022–2023 through a standardised questionnaire and desk research reflecting the state of affairs. It offers a concise overview of key challenges and proposes actionable policy reforms.
