CheRA advocates for rights-based strategies to combat HIV spread in Malawi

The Community Health Rights Advocacy (CheRA) says adopting strategies that protect the rights of key populations is key to preventing the spread of HIV in Malawi.

The 2019-2020 Malawi Biological and Behavioral Surveillance (BBSS) study found HIV prevalence rates of 49.9% among female s*x workers, 12.8% among men who have s*x with men, and 12.1% among clients of female s*x workers, amidst the criminalization of minority rights.

In an interview with MIJ Online, Alex Kaomba, Programs Manager at CheRA, said that if a segment of the population's rights are not recognized, they are more likely to experience higher rates of new HIV infections.

“As you are aware, the National Strategic plan recognizes key populations. There are interventions that are set and agreed upon at national level within the plan” said Kaomba.

Kaomba also mentioned the need to educate key populations about their rights so they can demand the services they need.

He was speaking at an outreach clinic managed by CheRA in Lilongwe, where attendees learnt about human rights-based HIV prevention and LGBTQI programming.

An outreach worker, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that many key populations lack sufficient information about their rights and how to access HIV-protective health services.

"Most key populations are at high risk because they often meet in drinking places, where it's difficult to protect themselves from contracting the virus," the outreach worker explained.

The Community Health Rights Advocacy (CheRA) with support from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) through the SCALE initiative is implementing a 10 month project called Key Populations Integrated HIV and Human Rights Project (KPIHIVR).

The project aims at advancing and reinforcing key population led strategies, tactics, and approaches to counter discriminatory and punitive laws, policies, and practices in Malawi.

Farmers in the country have been advised to opt for crops which are resilient to dry spell in this year’s farming season.

The advice comes at a time the country is experiencing heat waves which have seen several crops drying up especially in the southern region.

In an interview with MIJ Online, Daniel Manduwa Senior Scientific Officer at ICRISAT Malawi says the situation poses a threat to crop productivity next year hence farmers need to grow crops such as sweet potatoes and cassava which are resistant to dry spells.

The Renowned political analysts in the country have advised the vice president Dr. Michael Usi to focus on his political career and clarify his stance, saying he cannot serve two masters at once.

The advice follows Usi's speech made at his area 12 residence in Lilongwe on Sunday that he remains loved and commands a large following within UTM.

Speaking to MIJ Online, Czar Kondowe, a renowned political analyst, emphasized that Usi needs to come out clearly and state which party he supports.

Kondowe warns that Usi's actions have potential of bringing confusion in UTM.

Another political analyst, George Phiri, echoed Kondowe's sentiments questioning basis of Usi's claim of having a huge following.

"Where is he taking them? It's unclear which party he is supporting," Phiri said.

Phiri criticized Usi's actions, saying they demonstrate lack of leadership skills and a tendency to create confusion

Meanwhile, The UTM has summoned Usi to appear to its disciplinary committee over his alleged conduct against the party’s constitution.
