The document summarizes an assessment of abstinence and be faithful (ABY) youth HIV prevention programs in several Sub-Saharan African countries and Haiti. Site visits were conducted with 13 program partners to evaluate program quality, provide recommendations, and develop an overall report. Key findings included the need for standardized training, ensuring program reach of at-risk youth, addressing risky behaviors, and activities for sexually experienced youth. Stronger programs used logic models, data collection, community buy-in, skills development, and multi-component approaches. The assessment led to programs modifying curricula for different age groups and targeting both low and high-risk youth.
