If songs can spread messages about love and peace, why not use them to share messages about HIV risk and prevention? The idea to use songs to inspire and drive change led the PACTO (Active Prevention and Communication for All) project in Mozambique – a USAID and PEPFAR-funded partnership between JHU∙CCP and the Foundation for Community Development (FDC) – to join efforts with renowned international musician, Moreira Chonguiça, to launch a contest aimed at the country’s youth seeking the best song lyrics about sexual practices and preventing HIV transmission.
