Abstract	:	This project aims to investigate the extent to which differences in the design of national prevention of mother to child transmission policies and strategies between North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa help to explain differences in vertical transmission rates between these two regions. To do so, I selected two case countries, one from each region, and conducted a qualitative document analysis of their HIV prevention policies since 2010, guided by two theoretical frameworks, the Analysis of Determinants of Policy Impacts (ADEPT) model of health promotion and the Health Policy Triangle. This project has revealed the importance of 1) civil society organizations in HIV prevention, 2) sufficient monitoring and evaluation systems and 3) the involvement of Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) in the strategic financing of HIV prevention strategies in low- and middle-income countries.
