Meet the Peer Community Advisors

Portrait of Ashraf Kabuye, Youthplus Peer Community Advisor from Kasenge community.

Peer Community Advisors (PCAs) are an important part of Youthplus’s community-led approach to HIV prevention. Through DEEPROOTS, they help bring trusted information closer to communities and connect people with relevant support and services.

We are proud to introduce twelve members of the PCA network. They represent communities where local leadership and participation help make health information and services more accessible.

Community leadership in action

Peer Community Advisors help connect people with information and support within their communities. Their role reflects the DEEPROOTS commitment to meaningful community participation and locally grounded approaches to HIV prevention.

We recognise these twelve PCAs and the wider network for their contribution to community engagement. In future features, we look forward to sharing more of their experiences and perspectives in their own words.
