About Accountability International
Accountability International is an African-led civil society organisation that works to improve accountability to the most marginalised. From our head office in South Africa, we conduct research and advocacy that allows us to do our work as a watchdog and hold various leaders accountable. We conceptualise and implement innovatively designed projects that are led by our collaboration with marginalised communities. We put huge emphasis on needs-based research and community-led advocacy. We have developed more than a dozen scorecards since we began in 2005, all as a means to contribute to the demand for accountability from all leaders, whether at global, regional, national or community level.

Announcing ICASA2019 Key Populations Pre-Conference

Date & Time:
29-30 November 2019
The African Key Populations Networks are pleased to announce the 3rd KP-Pre-conference
that will take place on 29th and 30th November 2019, ahead of the 20th edition of the
International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa scheduled for 2nd to 7th December
2019 in Kigali, Rwanda.
The KP Pre-conference will focus on the theme ‘Rethinking Strategies and Forging Resistance: Out of the old and into the SDGs era through political will & community Investment’.
By focusing on Strategies and Resistance for delivering SDGs among current and recently young key populations, two overlapping groups – both of whom are particularly vulnerable to HIV infection – are brought under one umbrella: key populations (KPs) and young people. KPs continue to be most affected by HIV and AIDS across the globe, and particularly in Africa. Despite evidence, KPs continue to bear the brunt of exclusion from national HIV policies, national sanctioned interventions and minimum packages of HIV services.
Exploring the link between SDGs and cross-generation strategies to address sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) needs among KPs encourages long overdue conversations that would identify priority interventions to reduce the death toll among young people and key populations.

Women Now! 2019 is a Pan African and Diasporan women's and girl's interdisciplinary pre-conference summit, led by SisterLove, to be held in Kigali, Rwanda. The goal is to set a shared agenda on the intersections of HIV, Sexual & Reproductive Health, Rights and Justice (SRHRJ). The event will take place on 29th November - 1st December 2019 at Kigali Serena Hotel over two and a half days prior to the opening of ICASA2019. It is designed as an opportunity to organize women and girls of African descent to build stronger and more collective action on key issues, including: racial inequity; economic and gender inequality; leadership and power; gender-based violence and trauma; sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice; intergenerational movement building; and equity and justice in SRHRJ programs and policies in research, prevention, care and advocacy.
