“…For example, targeting agri cultural programmes to households with pregnant or lactating women or children younger than 2 years might be neither logistically feasible nor optimum for community development; however, geographic community-level targeting could be used as a fi rst targeting criteria, with a second level focusing on reaching mothers and young children with a specifi c package of preventive nutrition and health interventions. Another key target group for nutritionsensitive programmes is adolescent girls; conditions or other incentives can be used to keep girls in school, help delay fi rst pregnancy, address HIV risk factors, 135 and improve adolescent girls' nutrition knowledge and micronutrient status to prepare them for motherhood.…”

“…[15] • Conditional cash transfers: Cash transfers that incentivise behaviours thought to reduce HIV risk (including promoting remaining in school) have recently emerged as a promising new strategy to reduce young people' s vulnerability to HIV. [2,16] Two randomised controlled trials undertaken in SA (HPTN 068 and CAPRISA 007) were unable to demonstrate any impact on HIV acquisition as a result of lower than anticipated HIV incidence rates.…”

Young women (15 -24 years) contribute a disproportionate 24% to all new HIV infections in South Africa -more than four times that of their male peers. HIV risk in young women is driven by amplifying cycles of social, behavioural and biological vulnerability. Those most likely to acquire infection are typically from socioeconomically deprived households in high HIV-prevalence communities, have limited or no schooling, engage in transactional sex or other high-risk coping behaviours, and have a history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and/or pregnancy. Despite the imperative to prevent HIV acquisition in young women, there is a dearth of evidence-based interventions to do so. However, there are several steps that healthcare workers can take to improve outcomes for this key population at the individual level. These include being able to identify high HIV-risk young women, ensuring that they receive the maximum social support they are eligible for, providing reliable and non-judgemental counselling on sexual and reproductive health and relationships, delivering contraceptives and screening and treating STIs in the context of accessible, youth-friendly services.

“…Transfers can be unconditional, or conditional on recipients accessing services or similar, and target poverty as an ‘upstream’ driver of ill-health [26]. A second approach is located within behavioural economics and uses direct cash transfers to incentivise certain behaviours or outcomes, be this HIV-testing or remaining Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI)-free [26,27]. These assume people make decisions based on trade-offs between alternatives and that the economic incentives are large enough to change behaviours in positive directions [26].…”

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV are co-occurring global epidemics, with similar root causes of gender and economic inequalities. Economic interventions have become a central approach to preventing IPV and HIV.Objective/Methods: We undertook a comprehensive scoping review of published evaluations of economic interventions that sought to prevent IPV and/or HIV risk behaviours.Results: Forty-five separate analyses of interventions met our criteria. Broadly, unconditional cash transfer interventions showed either flat or positive outcomes; economic strengthening interventions had mixed outcomes, with some negative, flat and positive results reported; interventions combining economic strengthening and gender transformative interventions tended to have positive outcomes.Conclusions: The review highlighted a number of gaps. Specifically, there were limited studies evaluating the impact of economic interventions on female sex workers, young women, and men. In addition, there were missed opportunities, with many evaluations only reporting either IPV- or HIV-related outcomes, rather than both, despite overlaps.
