This review of prevention of maternal-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services in the Kyrgyz Republic was undertaken to: (1) provide an overview of milestones in the delivery and expansion of PMTCT for the period 2017-2020; identify the main barriers to PMTCT for women and infants; (3) describe the status of the country’s preparations for validation of elimination of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) for HIV and syphilis; and (4) provide recommendations to accelerate the country’s progress in strengthening PMTCT services and defining a pathway to application for global validation of elimination of MTCT of HIV and syphilis.

As part of the 2gether 4 SRHR joint UN programme, UNICEF ESARO in collaboration with Y+ Global and UNFPA ESARO, developed six key question and answer (Q&A) resource documents on HIV and SRH for adolescents and young people in ESA. The toolkit has been developed to assist country teams in improving knowledge and understanding, driving adolescent and youth engagement and behaviour change,​ and promoting uptake of services in ESA. The content has been developed with adolescents and young people. Part of a broader toolkit, the content is intended for adaptation and use across multiple SBC platforms, including digital approaches scripts for radio shows and peer counselling sessions.

Each Q&A has approximately 10 questions, and links to the other topic areas:

• Healthy relationships
• Staying safe
• Sex and other stuff
• All about HIV
• Living with HIV
• Being a young parent
• Understanding Puberty
• The HPV Vaccine
• Talking with Your Children
