Donors need to ensure that it's independent community-led monitoring that is being funded. Independent in that everything should be owned by the communities.

Technology as a tool for engagement

[NACA Nigeria @NACANigeria]

In as much as AI is a good innovation, they can also create data disparities because the data fed into the AI Models are not reliable.
There are also issues of consent when collecting data and many other challenges with AI however AI can be used to strengthen the work around HIV prevention.
