Take the Rights Path! My Health, My Rights!

This post marks the 37th anniversary of World AIDS Day, a day in which we support, honor and celebrate those who are at the forefront of the struggle. Today may we ALL be reminded that:

HIV is not only a medical issue but a threat to humanity and together we can make a difference. It’s time to and build a world of understanding, support, and compassion.

HIV is not just a medical issue but a Human Rights issue. Everyone has the right to health, dignity, and support. On the journey toward ending HIV, we all deserve access to care, education, and treatment—no matter where we live or who we are.

My Health! My Rights!
I have the right to be informed, to be tested, and to be treated with respect.

My Health! My Rights!
I have the right to live free of stigma and discrimination.

We at Southern Hemisphere stand in solidarity with those who battle with HIV and AIDS and support the fight against HIV and AIDS. We honor and celebrate those who are at the forefront of the struggle.

Join us in supporting the efforts of WHO & UNAIDS by:

🔴 Raising awareness. 🔴 Spreading compassion, not stigma. 🔴 Pushing for continued progress in prevention, treatment, and a future free from HIV.

We are closer than ever to ending the AIDS epidemic, but we must keep moving forward. Your voice matters. Your actions matter.

🌟 An incredible experience at the SAMEA Conference 2024! 🌟M&E in a VUKA world

Our team had the privilege of attending the South African Monitoring and Evaluation Association SAMEA Conference 2024 and successfully presenting papers and hosting workshops that sparked insightful discussions on monitoring, evaluation and learning practices.

Did you know that the rallying call for the policy crisis –volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), has a meaning in African languages? VUKA means RISE UP or WAKE UP. The uncertainties and volatilities of the last several years call for us to wake up – Siyavuka sisebenzele ikusasa elingcono.

We certainly found plenty of opportunities to talk about adaptive, collaborative and innovative approaches to our M&E practice that will steer South Africa towards equitable and sustainable development.

We enjoyed engaging with so many passionate professionals and thought leaders in the space of social development and evaluation. We’re proud to have contributed to meaningful conversations, shared best practices, and learned from the collective wisdom of all attendees. 🙌

A big shout-out to the SAMEA board, and all the sponsors, for an incredible conference.

Want to keep the conversation going? If you missed us at the conference, or if you'd like to collaborate, don’t hesitate to reach out! Let's continue driving positive impact and working towards a more empowered, equitable future.

It was great to get our team together for our ‘Grow Day’ in September. This is our learning and organisational development space. In this session we focused on leadership where we reflected on how our identities influence our leadership styles, and our attitudes towards leadership.

We also asked staff: What is your Unique Quality as a Leader, how does Southern Hemisphere support this, and how can we all do better to bring our leadership?

We hope these questions can help you with your leadership journey.
