INTRODUCTION

Adolescents and Young People (AYP) aged 10-24 make up one-third of Nigeria’s population (Federal Ministry of Health, Nigeria). The 2018 Nigeria AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS) estimated that approximately 180,000 AYP are living with HIV in Nigeria, with an exceptionally high prevalence among females aged 20-24 at 1.3% (95% CI: 1.1-1.5). The survey also revealed that awareness of HIV status was lowest among AYP, with only 29.4% of those aged 20-24 and 35.5% of those aged 15-19 aware of their status, compared to 47% among older adults. Developing targeted interventions and training packages is essential for addressing their unique needs and improving outcomes. A National Prevention Training Package is proposed to equip community HIV service providers with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively program for AGYW and their male partners. This package will also align with the National AYP Strategy on engaging HIV service providers with AGYW. Such efforts will foster greater community engagement and ultimately lead to improved health and well-being outcomes for AYP. Additionally, to enhance accessibility, broaden reach, provide real-time updates, encourage interactivity, and ensure sustainability, a digital version is also proposed. The NACA E-learning platform offers a sustainable system that promotes continuous knowledge transfer and eliminates the costs associated with physical training. The digital version of the prevention training package will be integrated as a module in this existing E-learning platform.
