Objectives, Methodology & Expected Impact

Specific Objectives

Strengthening prevention, monitoring & impact

A clear set of four objectives supporting transferability, local adaptation, innovative pathfinder approaches, and stronger monitoring of HBV, HCV and HPV burden and prevention uptake.

HBV HCV HPV
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE 1

Promote good practices transferability and ensure sustainability by creating an international professional network

Build long-term collaboration structures that help proven practices travel across countries and systems.

  • Connect key professionals and institutions across participating regions.
  • Standardize knowledge exchange (workflows, templates, case studies).
  • Enable sustainability through shared governance and resource pathways.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE 2

Transfer and adapt good practices to local needs with an intersectional approach

Ensure practices are context-fit, equitable, and responsive to overlapping vulnerabilities.

  • Map local barriers and enablers (policy, access, literacy, stigma).
  • Adapt interventions to population needs using intersectional lenses.
  • Co-design with stakeholders for acceptance and impact.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE 3

Implement pathfinder approaches

Pilot, validate, and scale innovative delivery pathways that reduce gaps and improve uptake.

  • Design pilots with measurable outcomes and clear scaling criteria.
  • Test new outreach and service-delivery models in real settings.
  • Iterate based on evidence and operational feedback.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE 4

Assess and strengthen monitoring of HBV, HCV and HPV burden of disease, immunization and prevention interventions uptake

Improve data visibility and performance tracking to guide policy and targeted interventions.

  • Strengthen surveillance and reporting pathways for HBV/HCV/HPV indicators.
  • Track immunization and prevention uptake with actionable dashboards.
  • Identify gaps, monitor progress, and support evidence-based decisions.
