Our Role

HIV Prevention
The project aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of long-acting injectable PrEP among key populations in Cameroon. By focusing on this high-risk group, the study sought to identify barriers and facilitators to PrEP uptake and adherence, providing critical insights for future public health interventions.

Impact on Public Health Policies

The projects undertaken by IRES Group have the potential to significantly influence public health policies in the targeted regions. By generating evidence on the effectiveness of long-acting PrEP and understanding the KAP indicators among young people, these studies provide a foundation for informed policy-making. The findings can guide the development of targeted interventions that address the specific needs of key populations, ultimately contributing to a reduction in HIV transmission rates.

Advancing Public Health Practices

Through these projects, IRES Group is at the forefront of advancing public health practices. By evaluating innovative prevention methods and understanding community-specific health behaviors, we are able to tailor interventions that are both effective and culturally appropriate. This approach not only enhances the impact of our work but also ensures sustainability and community buy-in.

Building Research Capacity

In addition to influencing policies and practices, these projects play a crucial role in building research capacity within the regions. By involving local researchers and stakeholders, IRES Group fosters a collaborative environment that empowers communities to take an active role in their health outcomes. This capacity-building effort is essential for sustaining long-term health improvements and fostering innovation in public health.
