The "ASK ME" tagline was developed to help the public easily identify Community-led Response Peer Outreach Workers (POWs) while they are conducting outreach activities in public spaces. A closer look at the design reveals the key topics and issues that form the focus of their outreach and engagement.

Rather than prominently displaying the logos of the participating organisations, the design acknowledges them within the printed content alongside the key issues. This reflects the principle that the HIV response is not led by a single organisation, but is a collective effort by a network of civil society organisations (CSOs) working together.

This collaborative approach reinforces the message that HIV affects everyone and that responding to it is a shared responsibility. Governments, CSOs, community organisations, and individuals all have an important role to play in addressing HIV with urgency, compassion, and coordinated action.

We would like to acknowledge Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through Health Equity Matters for their support.

It was at the reception at the Australian High Commission, Fiji that the Interim CEO had the opportunity to speak with the Executive Director of the Women's Fund Fiji. During their conversation, they expressed an interest in meeting to better understand the realities faced by women from marginalized communities, particularly women infected and affected by HIV.

Coincidentally, on the very day the meeting was scheduled, the Executive Director of Fiji Network Plus shared with us the urgent need to strengthen conversations and action around the challenges experienced by Women Living with HIV. A quick message to WFF about this important addition turned what was originally one meeting into a valuable opportunity for WFF and FJN+ to connect for the very first time.

This is something we intentionally strive to do at Rainbow Pride Foundation 4 LGBTQ Rights and Equality in Fiji. We recognize that we cannot do this work alone, nor do we have the capacity to respond to every need ourselves. Whenever possible, we create spaces that bring people and organizations together, fostering collaboration rather than competition.

At the end of the day, our shared goal is simple: to ensure that no one in our communities is left behind when it comes to , treatment, care, and support.

WHEN FUNDING IS DELAYED, RELATIONSHIPS KEEP THE RESPONSE ALIVE.

One of the most inspiring examples comes from our Peer Outreach Workers in Levuka.

Like many community programmes, there have been times when funding has taken longer than expected to reach our Peer Outreach Workers. Yet the team in Levuka did not simply stop. They continued engaging communities, supporting people and promoting HIV awareness by drawing on the trust and partnerships they have built with the Levuka Hospital team, local organisations and the wider community over time.

This is exactly what the "Rapid Interim Review of the Peer Outreach Worker Program", conducted by Health Equity Matters highlights.

The review found that the greatest strength of the programme is not just the services delivered or the data collected—it is the trust, credibility and relationships that Peer Outreach Workers have built within communities. These relationships create opportunities to reach people who might otherwise never engage with health services.

That is what community-led responses look like. They are built on people, trust and partnerships—not just projects and funding cycles.

As Fiji continues responding to its HIV outbreak, we must move beyond seeing community organisations as simply supporting the health system. They are an essential part of it.

Investing in community-led organisations is investing in stronger, more resilient and more sustainable HIV responses.

Rainbow Pride Foundation 4 LGBTQ Rights and Equality in Fiji would like to acknowledge the great support from Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

**Communities are not just part of the response—they are helping end HIV.**

The review does not question whether the outreach model works. Instead, it concludes that data collection, referral definitions and reporting systems need to be standardised so the program can better demonstrate its outcomes.

The CSOs involved in this work would like to acknowledge Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for their great support to the project.

Based on the of a in Fiji by Health Equity Matters, July 2026, Community-led approaches are working. Much of the work undertaken by Peer Outreach Workers—including building trust, reducing stigma, supporting people in crisis and encouraging future testing—is not reflected in existing monitoring systems. Current data significantly underestimates the program's true impact.

The CSOs involved in this work would like to acknowledge Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for their great support to the project.

Based on the of a in Fiji by Health Equity Matters, July 2026, Community-led approaches are working. The review highlights that the program's greatest asset is not only its data—it is the trust, relationships and credibility that Peer Outreach Workers have built within communities, enabling conversations that formal health systems often cannot initiate.

The CSOs involved in this work would like to acknowledge Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for their great support to the project.
